Need to remove the 'Submit for Approval' button from Approval History Section

I have put a Custom Button on a page which triggers an Approval Process, so I want to remove the Submit for Approval button from the Approval History section.

I found several posts suggesting using of a jquery to remove the button, but those did not work.

I have put the following jQuery code in a VF Page and added it to the Sidebar of the Home Page Component, but the Submit for Approval button did not get removed: 
    <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.12.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <script>
      $j = jQuery.noConflict();
      $j(document).ready(function(){   
        $j("input[name='piSubmit']").hide();
      });
    </script>

If someone knows what I am missing, please let me know.
Also any other alternative idea to achieve this is very much welcome.

Please check if you can hide using below CSS code. 
<style type="text/css">
 
        input.btn[name="piSubmit"] {
           display :none;
        }
        
        
        }
        
    </style>

Hi Bhavin, thanks for your feed..

The CSS code you mentioned would work fine the button was on the the same VF page; but in my case this would not work because the button is not in the VF page, rather it is in the main page.

However, the link you provided was very helpful, and I could use some codes mentioned in there which solved my problem.
