Can we do it using javascript or designer 2007? if yes do you know of source codes that has this coded already?
Hi,
why on gods earth do you want to use designer for this?
This is the OOTB solution available through the SharePoint UI. Everything else has to be a custom coding (in SharePoint Object model -> must run on the server!) solution.
BTW: Do not forget to remove the field from the default view (or other views) as hiding a column will not update existing views.
Hiding it via Javascript may work but is is just a hack. Anyone with at least 1 day experience in the web will be able to show the column (as the script will run on the client side):
