How do you hide a button for a specific library?  

I'm trying to hide the Upload Document button.  Users still need to be able to create new documents, just not upload them.

The solutions I've found are saying to create a Site Feature.  But wouldn't that disable the button on all libraries in that site?

This blog has some good examples using javascript to hide. Remember in SP2010 save the javascript in a separate library and then refer to it from CEWP.

For testing, I created a new View (test.aspx).

Opened the View in SPD.

Before the closing tag of <asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderId="PlaceHolderMain" runat="server"> 

I added the below script.  Clicked save, then opened the View. The Open with Explorer button is still in the ribbon.

<script Type="JavaScript">
 var doc = document.getElementsByTagName('ie:menuitem'); 
 for (var i = 0; i < doc.length; i++)
  {
    itm = doc[i];
    if (itm.id.match('OpenInExplorer')!=null)
      { itm.hidden=true; }
  } 
</script> 

Any ideas?

it is possible to hide Ribbon-items in CSS:

<style type="text/css">
#Ribbon\.ListItem\.Actions
{
display: none !important;
}
</style>

Thank you Sjoerd!

For anyone else looking for the solution to this question.

inside the </asp:Content> tag of <asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderId="PlaceHolderMain" runat="server"> place the following css:

<style type="text/css">
#Ribbon\.Documents\.New\.AddDocument-Large
{
    display:none;
} 
</style>

Using IE, you can find the different buttons by clicking on F12 (developer tools).  

Please take note of the \ before each period in the above example.  My example hides the Upload Document button from the ribbon.

Looks like a better solution
