I am working on an enterprise wiki site collection, now when the user edit the properties of the page he will be redirected to the following page :-

enter image description here

so i wanted to hide all the fields except the Name and title, so inside our testing server i edit the page then i added the following code snippet :-

<script>

$('#formTbl tr').filter(function () 
{
return !$(".ms-standardheader", this).text().match(/Name|Title/i);
}).remove();

</script>

where it hide the unwanted fields. now i did the same steps on our live server but the script raised the following error:-

SCRIPT5007: Unable to set property 'ListId' of undefined or null reference EditForm.aspx, line 1230 character 1

so can anyone advice on this please ?

  • It seems there is some other script error on the page. Remove you custom script and see what is causing this error.

Try

<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
    $('#formTbl tr').filter(function () 
    {
        return !$(".ms-standardheader", this).text().match(/Name|Title/i);
    }).remove();
});

  • using .hide() worked well, but now i am 100% confused , as my original script worked well on the testing server , but it did not work on the live server, so what could be the reason behind this ? second question, why using .hide instead of .remove solve the second problem ?

  • Error says null reference.. This happens when object is not found.. In your case remove might have cause this.. These where all guess and luckily it worked. Not sure about why it happened only in Live.
