I'm surprised that there aren't any working solutions posted for this for SharePoint 2013. I've tried the related posts in 2010 and 2007, but no love.
I'm using SharePoint 2013, trying to hide a field with the name "Active" on the new form, using IE 9. I've been hunting all over, and I can't find a working solution to this seemingly simple and common challenge. Could someone spoon feed this one to me, like I'm a toddler, so I can copy and paste it into my CEWP? I'm savvy, but I just don't have more time to hunt this one down or fiddle.
