Stump the Panel: SharePoint Q&A

....on the dialogue window that pops up when you view a list item.
We want to keep comments anon and by default the date and the who are written to the bottom left of the form

Sorry should have said.... SP 2010

You'll have to use a bit of jQuery for that. Are you familiar with how to add jQuery to your form page?

Here's the code btw:

Let me know if you need more help setting this up.

Were this a .net (non-SP) page or html I would know but I'm guessing it's not the same in SP designer/SP?
Do I go to the code view tab for DispForm.aspx and paste your code between a pair of <script> tags?

Hey JayP,
I just noticed we didn't have a sticky post anywhere describing how to do this. Look over this post and see if it helps clear up issues you have.

Thanks... might still be something missing (my knowledge)
I opened the list in SPD and clicked on dispform.aspx I then added a CEWP and saved the page.
I then visited the page in my browser and clicked on "list" on the ribbon.
From there I clicked on Form web parts and then selected and then default display form (pretty much guessing where to go/click at this stage).
Then I clicked inside the CEWP text part and chose HTML/Edit HTML source.
Then inside the HTML Source dialogue box I typed this...

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
$("#ctl00_MSO_ContentDiv a[href*='_layouts/userdisp.aspx?ID=']").each(function() {
$(this).closest("span").remove();
});</script>

Then I moved out of editing mode and browsed the list.
When I click on a list item to view in the dialogue box I still see the:

Is the Javascript tag incorrectly declared for jquery?
is userdisp.aspx the correct url for this dialogue box?

perhaps I need a reference to an external jquery library put somewhere?

ok I added jquery.js to the site assets folder and changed the code in my CEWP box to read:

<script src="/SiteAssets/jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script><script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">


$("#ctl00_MSO_ContentDiv a[href*='_layouts/userdisp.aspx?ID=']").each(function() {
$(this).closest("span").remove();
});</script>

When I click on a list item I notice the JS error icon in the browser status bar.
The error reads
Message: Object expected
Line: 682
Char: 1
Code: 0

line 682 points to:

$("#ctl00_MSO_ContentDiv a[href*='_layouts/userdisp.aspx?ID=']").each(function() {
