Hide relevance score using inline style tag

Hide relevance score using inline style tag

I've read about two solutions to hide the Relevance Score, which is the shaded box to the left of Search Results on the web.

The first is to control the image after it has been rendered in the browser using Javascript. This offers control but relies on JS. The second is to view TreatAsHTML and code everything myself - when doing a FT Search, Domino will highlight the words on the Page results, which gets really tricky if I have to code the highlighting myself.

So here's another possibility: use inline styles. As the code is not placed in an external style sheet, the IMG style will only affect those images immediately following it on the form. If you need to actually display an icon in a column in the view you are searching, then modify the column to call the "img.show style".

ex. "<img src="/icons/vwicn001.gif" class=show>" 


On your "$$SearchTemplateDefault" 
form/page just above the "$$ViewBody",
enter the following pass-through HTML...
 
  
<style type=text/css>
<!--
img {display: none; visibility: hidden};
img.show {display: inline; visibility: visible};
-->
</style>
