Removing the double arrow for web part connections

Question

I have two Web parts that I connected to each other to pass some filter variables. It achieved the goal I was hoping for, but when the connection was added a double arrow was placed by SharePoint in the top left hand corner. Is it possible to remove this image?

I tried just deleting through designer like I did for column headers, but that didn't work.

Messing around, I see no real point in the arrow other than indicate that it is connected to another web part and would really like to remove it.

Answer 1

Using the arrow you can select the row and pass it to the connected webpart. If you want to hide the images, then you can use following jQuery code

$(document).ready(function(){
    $("img[src='/_layouts/images/rbsel.gif']").hide();
    $("img[src='/_layouts/images/rbunsel.gif']").hide();
});
