Hi,

I would like to know how to hide the folder pane permanently in Web Access 10 for all users. I have attempted to hide using JQuery in the browse.aspx file, but the pane is still visible:

Using this JQuery it hides the pane, but it still shows the space it would have taken on the screen $('#TheEntryBrowserLeftPane').hide();

It's probably a timing issue rather than an CSS override. Anyways, your next best bet would be to edit "%InstallDir%\Web Files\Assets\browse.min.css" and add the following to the end. Note that the "!important" flag is used here because the page's code will be setting style directly on the element itself, and we need to override that.

#TheEntryBrowserLeftPane{width:0px!important}div.entryBrowserRightPane{width:100%!important;left:0px!important}

Your approach should work, but here is the jQuery I would use (from a little trial and error on my part):

$('#TheEntryBrowserLeftPane').css('width','0px');
$('div.entryBrowserRightPane').css('width','100%');
$('div.entryBrowserRightPane').css('left','0px');

This should hide the folder browser and also resize the right pane correspondingly.

Hi Scott,

Thank you for your input. However, using this code in browser.aspx does not seem to do anything. I have my .hide() in there and it definitely runs that code, but the rest of the CSS does not do anything. I'm not sure if maybe there is other CSS that is running that is overriding this perhaps?

Hi Scott,

Perfect, thank you. It works 100% when adding to the CSS file.

Thanks
