List View - Remove Group By Headers - Column Names

Question

_{Wednesday, March 26, 2014 2:56 PM | 1 vote}

I have a List View web part using Group By. However, when you do that, it uses the Actual column name with a colon in the visual representation.

Also, there is a bar with the name of the column showing.

I don't want to have either of these showing. I have found pages on the net that tell you how to do this using SPD, but because that causes unghosting, we don't use SPD.

Also, I found this, using Javascript:

This works. However, it removes the Editing components of the ribbon also - you can't go back later and do any editing.

Does anyone have any other ideas on this?

I found a script here:

however, if you use it, beware that there are several places where the quotes are not standard (like 'smart' quotes in MSWord) and need to be fixed before it will work

Hi,

According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to remove Group By Headers in the List View web part.

I try to reproduce the issue using the code you provided, however, I can edit the items.
