Hide navbar for New Blogger

Blogger has started advertisement above the navbar (the usually blue navigation bar at the very top of a blog) on a random basis (now you see it, now you don't) and this has taken valuable space. See screen shot below:

advertisement above Blogger navbar

Since that is taking valuable real estate plus the fact the the Blogger TOS (Terms of Service) did not specify that one must have it for the blog, I have decided to hide the navbar.

There are various ways to do that, not all of them effective. I have found that the hack by Aditya to be effective.

Aditya's hack is simple. Here is my interpretation of his hack: Go to LAYOUT > EDIT HTML to open the template editor. Look for <b:skin> and paste the following after that:

/* By Aditya http://the-lastword.blogspot.com/
----------------------------------------------- */
div.navbar {
opacity:0.0;
display:none;
}

That's good to know! I haven't seen those ads yet but if I start seeing them on my blog I'll use this trick. Thanks!

Thank you very much. Done in 20 seconds! Now the TopBar is hidden.
I've a question. I want put Java SOURCE Code in the post. Is there a tool to put Source Code of Java?
Example (without format):
try
{
String myString = "Hi!"
etc.etc.
}
example (with format):
try
{
String myStr = "Hi"
etc.etc.
}
Ohhh! The comments do not accept the space at start of the row!!!
Thanks

Blogger post editor will not accept Javascript. The nearest thing you can do is to add a gadget in the main column and put a HTML/Javascript gadget above your posts. It will appear in all pages.
