Good old George2 asked a question over at SharePointOverflow.com about SharePoint list and column names today. If you don’t know it, SharePointOverflow.com is an excellent site to get high-end SharePoint assistance! I liked my response, so here it is as a blog post. When you create a column on a list, both its DisplayName and StaticName are…
Cross-posted from EndUserSharePoint.com… Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 In my last article, I showed how I used my jQuery Library for SharePoint Web Services to improve data quality by enhancing an out of the box form using the SPRequireUnique, SPDisplayRelatedInfo, and PreSaveAction functions. In this installment, I’ll show you how I created…
I’ve been banging away on new features and functionality for the next version of the jQuery Library for SharePoint Web Services, so my blogging has fallen by the wayside a bit. v0.4.7 is shaping up nicely, in large part because the stuff that I’ve been adding has been driven to a large degree by the community of…
Cross posted from EndUserSharePoint.com… Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 So I’ve been going on about how wonderful this jQuery Library for SharePoint Web Services stuff is, but you may have wondered if I ever actually use the library in real world situations. You bet I do, and it lets me build some…
Ever helpful @MSwannMSFT – Matt Swann at Microsoft (why aren’t there more like him?) – spotted a Twitter discussion between @jvossers, @willhlaw, and me (@sympmarc) yesterday, and in his usual tenacious style, promised an answer.

The function is getting a little overloaded with options, but these two seemed pretty valuable yet not worth breaking things out into…
I ran across a great JQuery and SharePoint 2007 blog post yesterday, and I wanted to capture the URL here for later reference. Vedant Kulshreshtha has done a great job gathering up links to explain what jQuery is all about, why it is a good thing, what people think about it, how you might use…
I was pinged the other day through LinkedIn by one of my wife’s former colleagues. Here’s the nut of her request: … suggested that I contact you to see if you’d be willing to talk with my husband. He is currently a principal / management consultant at … and is trying to break out of…
I had a question on my recent article over at EndUserSharePoint.com entitled A jQuery Library for SharePoint Web Services (WSS 3.0 and MOSS): Real World Example – Part 1. The question was about the SPDisplayRelatedInfo function, and while I was setting things up to see if I had a bug, I found that there were…
