Remove alt tags from Calendar

Question

Has anyone been able to successfully remove the alt tags/(hover text) from events in the sharepoint 2010 calendar. I am trying to use Jquery to strip them out, but am having no success.

I have even tried the following to remove all alt tags:

$(document).ready( function(){ $('a').removeAttr("alt"); });

Any help will huge. I am presenting the calendar to the execs tomorrow afternoon and need a quick fix.

cheers

Answer 1

Your first issue is that the hover text is not in the alt attribute of the a tag. I think it is actually in the title attribute of a div tag.

But there's a bigger issue. The SP 2010 calendar is rendered asynchronously. When you use $(document).ready, your script runs too early, before the calendar is rendered on the page. Even if you delay your script, it won't work if your users navigate to other months.

A workaround I have used is to run the script at regular intervals, every 100 or 200 ms. See an example here: http://blog.pathtosharepoint.com/2010/06/16/html-calculated-column-solutions-for-sp-2010-part-iv/

Anchor tag uses title attribute to show a tooltip try to remove it, here is your code

$(document).ready( function(){ $('a').removeAttr("title"); });
