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…
The other day, I tweeted “Am I the only one who thinks that spending a lot of time on #SP2010 right now is premature?” and subsequently wrote my Too Soon for SharePoint 2010? post. I certainly didn’t want to cause trouble with the question, but it’s garnered some interesting responses. Bjørn Furuknap posted his thoughts on his blog today,…
Today I released v0.4.6 of my jQuery Library for SharePoint Web Services. This version was fun to work on because I’ve got quite a few people out there in the world (California, North Carolina, Sweden) using the library actively, so we were able to work together pretty much real time to get enhancements and bug fixes into…
I tweeted this last night: “Am I the only one who thinks that spending a lot of time on #SP2010 right now is premature?” and I’ve gotten quite a few interesting responses. I figured I’d start a blog post on this and add in the replies as I get them (see the bottom of this…
Bjørn Furuknap, never the shrinking wallflower, posted an article today about SharePoint Configuration vs. Development. One of the things that always seems to be missing is the bridge between the two approaches. I’ve lived on both sides of the wall, and as long as there’s a wall, things fail. SharePoint is a collaboration platform, yet…

This can really bring your forms to life for users: rather than just selecting bland text values, you can show them images and links that…
<UPDATE date=”2011-02-14″>: As of jQuery 1.5, single quotes are *required* around z:row or any other similar node selector. This was actually “required” in previous versions of jQuery, but not enforced. </UPDATE> jQuery’s totally cross-browser capable, right? Well, generally, yes. However, through no fault of jQuery, Safari and Chrome don’t seem to like the z:row namespace…
In discussing the merits of an agile approach to design and development, I went back to the source and read through the Agile Manifesto. For all the rhetoric that flies around about what agile is, what is or isn’t agile, who knows agile best, etc., it’s great to get back to the guiding principles, which…
Here’s a little mini CSS tip for you. The little dotted lines around links in Internet Explorer have been bugging me for a long time on a few of the sites I’ve built. The dotted line shows up when you click on the link. I finally Binged it, and found this nice little article entitled…
