Hi,

The objective is to hide some unused buttons (for example: Save and Close
button). The reason of hiding this button is because we added few buttons
(using isv.config) based on customer's request which provide more meaningful
usage based on their scenario. But the problem is, MSCRM 4 is too "SMART",
it truncate the "Text" and just leave the icon there. I think this is due to
the available space is not enough to show everything (all buttons Icon +
Text), that's why it took away the Text, and just leave the icon there.

So, in order to avoid that, we used some javascript at the form Load event
to hide some unused buttons (such as Save and Close button, which the
customer don't think that is necessary), the button hided successfully.

But again, this MSCRM (the real genius) is too "SMART", whenever the user do
a form resize, the hidden buttons all appear again.

Not sure this is really improvement, but to be frank, at least we can hide a
button without any issue in MSCRM 3.0.

Anyway to work around this issue? This is a real turn off, and kind of
frustrating!

Thanks

Have a look at this blog:

Aparently, the way 4.0 utilizes the getElementById is different than 3.0,
which will throw a lot of JScript code off from its 3.0 incarnations.
