Hide SharePoint 2013 List form fields

Hi SharePoint buddies & lovers, after long I started to post SharePoint topics those comes my way and quite interesting ones.
SharePoint developers sometimes may need to hide and show form controls in list forms. As per business rules you need to hide certain fields in new, edit, or display forms or conditionals [select country -> show states]. Here is the simple solution to hide fields using basic jQuery to catch location of the field names. We are all know that list form controls are enclosed with table row and each control and it’s field name enclosed in a table cells.
New & Edit Forms
In new and edit forms field names are enclosed with <nobr> tag, nearest tr of <nobr> tag represents the whole row of field.

(document).ready(function() {
$('nobr:contains("Location")').closest('tr').hide();
});

Display Forms
In display form field names are enclosed with table cells, parent of table cell represents the whole row of field.

$(document).ready(function() {
$('td.ms-formlabel:contains("Location")').parent().hide();

});
