I pasted this code in the Content Editor web part.But this is not working how will my jquery get called??

$(document).ready(function() {
$(‘nobr:contains(“Content type”)’).closest(‘tr’).hide();
});

Hi Madhu,

If you are using SharePoint Designer, you have a couple of options:

1. Using Design view, you can add a content editor web part to the page, and then insert the jQuery code within the content editor.
2. You can insert the logic directly into the custom editform.aspx page within the PlaceHolderAdditionalPageHead content placeholder. Are you already linking the jQuery library in your master page? If not, you’ll have to include a link to the jQuery library above the script tag as well. Alternatively you could put the javascript in an external file and link to it from within your page. Does that help?

Hi Shereen,
I have a custom edit form where I am trying to use jQuery to enable\disable fields based on the current login. Where exactly do I put my jQuery code in my custom form? I use SPD for customization. Appreciate any response.

Hi Manjiri,

Can you send me the source code for the dispform (if that’s permitted)? It’s likely going to be because the way in which we’re attempting to locate the element is not working. In the mean time, I can try to see if this is reproducible on my end. shereen at qumsieh dot ca.

By using jQuery, I am able to hide fields in the “new” and “edit” forms. But, the script is not working for the display form. The script is getting executed, but the fields do not get hidden. Any solution here?

Hi Jerry,

Have you looked up any jQuery solutions that might assist? So do you want to hide the column for just the new, edit and disp forms, or also within the views?

I have SharePoint 2007. I do not have access to the server, but I am the site owner. I have a field “Priority Justification” in my change request list – but I want that field to be hidden until/unless the priority changes to something higher than “normal.” Any ideas?

Hi Etienne,

Ok so I had thought you were asking something a little different, but now that I read this post again, you’re simply asking where in the NewForm.aspx you need to place your code? For this example, I’ve placed it just above:

<asp:Content ID="Main" ContentPlaceHolderID="PlaceHolderMain" runat="server">.

Can you give that a try and let me know if it works?
