…so I don’t really see anything wrong with what you’ve written Prasad.

Are you sure you’ve referenced the jQuery .js library?

I am running same issue what you had before. Please let me know How Do I hide the content type drop down on EditForm.aspx page in Custom List.

My code
=================================================

$(document).ready(function() {
$(“:input[title='Content Type']“).parent().parent().hide();
});

============================================

Please help me If you can.

I’m trying to fit something very similar into this.. Here trying to change the label text for columns label fields of an editform.aspx, this condition trips and does contain my column name, but the next line does not actually change it.. I suspect because inside a . Sorry new to jquery here.

function smartform(){
$(“td.ms-formlabel”).each(function(){

if($(this).text().match(‘#HP#’)){
$(this).text(’something else’);

}

Related to what you are doing here, and how would hide all rows (labels and input controls) that don’t have “#HP#” in the the label (column name)?

Thanks.

What you might need to do is put your line of code inside a

$(document).ready(function() {
… {Your code here} …
});

What this will do is then run your code – but only after the Document is ready. Other than that, it looks fine.

You could also replace the .parent().parent() bit with another jQuery if you wanted, but it isn’t really necessary. If you’re curious, it’d be something like this to find a first matching parent:

Did I place it in the wrong part of the page? Did I do something wrong in the second part?

I just need to hide the content type field. So after is where i put my code:

$(“:input[title='Content Type']“).parent().parent().hide();

Did I place it in the wrong part of the page? Did I do something wrong in the second part?

Probably the easiest way to check the name being used is to go to the page and view the source. Something like the IE Dev toolbar can make that much simpler. Check through the inputs on the page until you find the correct one, and check the title.

Also, did you remember to put in a reference to jQuery (I always forget that)

Oh, and your script tags must be full “<script … ></script>” tags. “<script … />” won’t work.

on the line var smartObjRef = $(“:input[title='Resolution']“); is ‘Resolution’ the name of the column as defined in Site Settings ?

Thanks for you help
