How can you remove the Save button on a survey?

Question

What options are there to remove the SAVE button from a SharePoint survey?
I need to remove this if possible, I was hoping it would be as simple as editing a form in the Survey list... but that is apparently not the case.
I need to supress the SAVE button as it confuses end users and we don't want any half completed surveys. Either it gets finished or not at all.
Can someone hopefully provide me with an nice simple solution?  Or any solution at all :)
Thanks!

Hi,
Save button on the surveys with multiple question or with branching logic enabled is an out of the box feature and it is by design.
If you want to remove the “save” button in a survey, I think you can use JavaScript to hide this button:
1. Open your site in SharePoint Designer.
2. Open your survey list newform.aspx page, in the code view, find this code “<asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderId="PlaceHolderMain" runat="server"> <table>……. </table> “add the JavaScript” </asp:Content>”, add JavaScript before the “</asp:Content>” tag:
<script>
var x=document.getElementsByTagName("input");
for (var i=0;i<x.length;i++)
if (x.item(i).type=="button"&&x.item(i).value=="Save")
{x.item(i).style.display = "none"};
</script>
After this, you will not see the “Save” button when create new survey response. You can also add this JavaScript in the editform.aspx page.
Hope it can help you.
