Remove the option to delete attachment on Edit Form

Question

I'm wondering if it is possible to remove the "Delete" hypertext on the Edit Form whenever attachments are added. I've tried to use the JavaScript String replace() method to no luck, I've attached the code to.

<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.7.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
    var str = document.getElementById("idAttachmentsTable").innerHTML; 
    var res = str.replace("Delete", "");
    document.getElementById("idAttachmentsTable").innerHTML = res;
});
</script>

Answer 1

You can do it with this piece of css:

.ms-delAttachments
{
 display: none;
}

You can open the edit form in the Advanced mode in SharePoint designer, find the <SharePoint:StyleBlock runat="server"> tag and include this css there. This is how it should look like after your change (tested on new form on custom list):

<SharePoint:StyleBlock runat="server">
/* This line is added automatically so just leave it there */
.ms-bodyareaframe {
    padding: 8px;
    border: none;
}

.ms-delAttachments
{
 display: none;
}
</SharePoint:StyleBlock>

Answer 2

you can do it by more simple way, just edit your form using browser put one content editor write this code in style tag .ms-delAttachments { display: none; } save the page.

Below is tested and it works:

<script type="text/javascript" src="/Pages/jquery-1.9.0.js" ></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {  
    $("td.ms-propertysheet:contains('Delete')").hide(); 
});
</script>
