Hide the “Add new Item” option below the sharepoint 2010 list

Question

I have a sharepoint 2010 list, I want to hide the option "add new item" which resides below the list, any suggestions?

Answer 1

There's an out-of-the-box way to remove the 'Add new item' link. If you edit the webpart properties using the 'Modify Shared Web Part' command, you'll find the 'Toolbar Type' dropdown in the 'List Views' section. If you choose 'No Toolbar' there and save the page, the footer link will be gone. No code required, no unghosting/customization. But you'll have to do this in every view, while the css way proposed by Hameds could be applied globally.

Answer 2

If you just want to hide it, you can use following css (you must override sharepoint core css with your custom css file)

td.ms-addnew{
display:none;
}

Answer 3

If you don't want to make the change globally, you could use a Content Editor Web Part (CEWP) on the desired page. Edit the HTML source of the CEWP and insert Hameds' code inside a style tag:

<style>
    td.ms-addnew { display:none; }
</style>
