jQuery Library for SharePoint Web Services v0.4.7 Released
I released v0.4.7 of the jQuery Library for SharePoint Web Services today. This release primarily contains enhancements to existing functions, but also a new set of operations for the Meetings Web Service.
The big headlines are:
- Support for multi-select parent columns in $().SPServices.SPCascadeDropdowns
- “Secondary” relationshipList support in $().SPServices.SPCascadeDropdowns
- A new completefunc option for most of the functions (where it was going to be useful)
- General bug fixes and debug mode improvements
Just a reminder: If you are still using a version prior to v0.4.6, I *highly* recommend an upgrade, as I made some significant performance improvements in $().SPServices.SPCascadeDropdowns and $().SPServices.SPDisplayRelatedInfo.
Release Notes
New Functionality
| Issue Tracker Item | Function | Operation | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| NA | $().SPServices.SPDisplayRelatedInfo | NA | Added new options numChars and matchType |
| 5010 | $().SPServices.SPCascadeDropdowns | NA | Added support for secondary relationship lists |
| 5012 | $().SPServices.SPCascadeDropdowns, $().SPServices.SPDisplayRelatedInfo, $().SPServices.SPLookupAddNew, $().SPServices.SPRequireUnique | NA | Added a completefunc option |
| 4196 | $().SPServices.SPCascadeDropdowns | NA | Added support for multi-select parent columns |
New Operations
| Web Service | Operation | Options | MSDN Documentation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Meetings | AddMeeting | organizerEmail, uid, sequence, utcDateStamp, title, location, utcDateStart, utcDateEnd, nonGregorian | Meetings.AddMeeting Method |
| CreateWorkspace | title, templateName, lcid, timeZoneInformation | Meetings.CreateWorkspace Method | |
| RemoveMeeting | recurrenceId, uid, sequence, utcDateStamp, cancelMeeting | Meetings.RemoveMeeting Method | |
| SetWorkspaceTitle | title | Meetings.SetWorkspaceTitle Method |
Bug Fixes and Efficiency
| Issue Tracker Item | Function | Operation | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4971 | $().SPServices.SPCascadeDropdowns | NA | The & sign causes problem |
| NA | $().SPServices.SPDisplayRelatedInfo | NA | Improved debug mode when relatedList column doesn’t exist. |
| NA | $().SPServices.SPLookupAddNew | NA | Added in some better debug mode code. It wasn’t trapping in any obvious way if the column you called it with wasn’t actually a lookup column. Now with debug mode enabled, if the column isn’t a lookup column, you’ll get a message, like with the other debug mode-enabled functions. |
| 5011 | $().SPServices.SPDisplayRelatedInfo | NA | Improved formatting for calculated columns by removing leading value type indicator (e.g., string;#, float;#, datetime;#) |

Can i User this library to Create Cascading Dropdown in DVWP.
I would like to Create DVWP to insert item in list in which want to implement Cascading Dropdown.
Thanks
Yes, you certainly can. Take a look at the SPCascadeDropdowns function. The documentation is pretty good (people tell me), but post any questions in the Discussions on the Codeplex site.

Ron:
Sounds like you’re heading in the right direction. Be sure to read the documentation so that you get everything set up right.
The name value in a People Picker is captured in a plain old INPUT control, so grabbing the value is pretty straightforward with jQuery. (The fancy parts of the People Picker are the things wrapped around the INPUT control.)
M.
Thats what i did
$(document).ready(function() { $(div[Title='People Picker']).blur(function(){ alert('hi'); }); });
