For months now when people have asked me about whether the jQuery Library for SharePoint Web Services will work with SharePoint 2010, I’ve been pretty much dodging the question. I didn’t want to spend the time testing with beta software (my alphas and betas are always open to changes) and I didn’t want to mislead…
Cross-posted from EndUserSharePoint.com… If you’ve been following this series, you’ve seen me write about the ddwrt namespace functions multiple times. They are extremely helpful functions that really aren’t documented in any formal way. A few of them show up in the XPath Expression Builder, but most of them are a mystery unless you find Serge…

I think I’ll keep this series going…
This post may come off a little whiny and entitled, but bear with me, as I don’t mean it that way. I was on vacation recently and did some long, hard thinking about where I am in my career and where I want to go. This cow has been giving away milk for a long…
I got a question today via Twitter and my blog that I thought I’d share: Further to Twitter message, I need to lookup values in a large list (thousands of items). Now, list performance and architecture issues aside, my intention is to use some JQuery enabled textbox which makes web service calls to suggest matching…
