Hiding the Category Text in a List View with a Group By
October 3, 2011
I recently had a request of me to hide the 'Category:' text on a List View web part in a MOSS 2007 farm. As I have now had this request a few times and each time have to go figure out how to do it again, I thought that meant it was time for a quick blog post! I found the original source here. It's a great write up, but there are a few enhancements mentioned in the comments that were never incorporated into the script code of the article. So here is the code with the changes incorporated:
_spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push("HideHeaders");function HideHeaders(){var elements = getElementsByClassName(document, "td", "ms-gb");var elem;for(var i=0;i<elements.length;i++){elem = elements[i];elem.childNodes[3].style.display = "none";elem.childNodes[4].nodeValue = elem.childNodes[4].nodeValue.replace(':', ''); }elements = getElementsByClassName(document, "td", "ms-gb2");for(var i=0;i<elements.length;i++){elem = elements[i];elem.childNodes[3].style.display = "none";elem.removeChild(elem.childNodes[4]);}elements = getElementsByClassName(document, "tr", "ms-viewheadertr");for(var i=0;i<elements.length;i++){elem = elements[i];elem.style.display = "none";}}/*Written by Jonathan Snook, http://www.snook.ca/jonathanAdd-ons by Robert Nyman, http://www.robertnyman.com*/function getElementsByClassName(oElm, strTagName, strClassName){var arrElements = (strTagName == "*" && oElm.all)? oElm.all : oElm.getElementsByTagName(strTagName);var arrReturnElements = new Array();strClassName = strClassName.replace(/-/g, "\-");var oRegExp = new RegExp("(^|\s)" + strClassName + "(\s|$)");var oElement;for(var i=0; i<arrElements.length; i++){oElement = arrElements[i];if(oRegExp.test(oElement.className)){arrReturnElements.push(oElement);}}return (arrReturnElements)}
