CSS "hide completed To-Do items" hack...

Post by mvisconte »

I have almost (ha) found a user-hack (external) that will hide the COMPLETED TASKS from the To-Do list. Almost, but not quite.

The hack is done by adding a user style sheet under IE (or adding it to an existing user style sheet, if you have one already defined). Of course, this works only if you have access to the IE style-sheet over-ride.

You can see how "close" I have gotten by making a simple style sheet:
In a text editor, add this line:

tr strike {display:none;}
(Note: those are BRACES - curly brackets)

Save this somewhere convenient w/ a name like EPIM-Todo.CSS

The "CSS" extention is important.

From IE, go into "Tools" menu and select "Internet Options". On the "General" tab, look towards the bottom right for a button that says "Accessibility". Click on it. The bottom half of the "Accessibility" window involved user style sheets... check the "Format documents using my style sheet", and then use the browse button to find, then select the file you made. Click OK, and continue this out to the main menu.

Look at your EPIM! In fact, if you have EPIM open to the ET page, you will see the completed tasks "disappear" when you click OK.

The down-side?

Um... it only works on the TEXT currently. I am looking for a way to specify the CSS selectors that will allow me to "hide" the whole row of the table. Still looking, but I think we're close.

Wow:) Cool.
We will try to implement this as a setting in Beta 3 or in some of RCs.
