This is a bookmarklet to correctly clear all columns in the TweetDeck web client. The formatted source for the JavaScript is also included.

This bookmarklet has only been tested in Chrome (v41), and doesn't work in the latest Firefox (because of security policy set by Twitter), and might not work in future browser versions.

Copy this code in to a new bookmarklet in your browser:

javascript:var cgClearTDDirection = 0; var cgClearTDIndex = 0; var cgClearTDTotal = -1; function cgClearTD() { if( cgClearTDTotal < 0 ) { cgClearTDTotal = $('a[class~="column-settings-link"]').length; } if( cgClearTDTotal > -1 ) { if( cgClearTDIndex >= cgClearTDTotal ) { if( cgClearTDDirection == 0 ) { $('button[data-action="clear"]').click(); cgClearTDDirection = 1; cgClearTDIndex = 0; } else { cgClearTDDirection = 1; cgClearTDIndex = 0; return; } } $( $('a[class~="column-settings-link"]')[cgClearTDIndex] ).trigger( 'click' ); cgClearTDIndex++; window.setTimeout( cgClearTD, 350 ); } } cgClearTD();
