With a software platform as ubiquitous and powerful as SharePoint, there are bound to be some "urban myths" that build up around it. Here are two of my biggies. What SharePoint myths do you have in the back of your mind? Let me know about them and I’ll write about them in future posts. There…
Another question from my contact form: Hi Marc. My problem in short is to get a filters to work on columns that holds values from linked tables. For instance I have a column with xsl:value-of select="../../../Products/Rows/Row[@Title=current()/@ProductID]/@ProductGroup" Am at a loss for a way to do it at this point.

In testing the MOSS Workflow Web Service operations I’m adding to our jQuery Library for SharePoint Web Services, I was getting an error sometimes when I called the StartWorkflow operation: Exception from HRESULT: 0x8102009B Turns out this occurs if there is a prior instance of the same workflow which has terminated in an error, showing…

I got a quick question today from a client asking how to roll up blog posts. He wanted to display the latest blog posts from all of the blogs which executives have in the Site Collection, which is used as the organization’s Intranet. He had the idea right, using a Data View Web Part (DVWP)…
If you have had problems using the minified version of the 0.2.8 release (jquery.SPServices-0.2.8.min.js), please download the jquery.SPServices-0.2.8.js un-minified version.

This afternoon, we released v0.2.8 of our jQuery Library for SharePoint Web Services. I’ve marked it as a beta for now, but it seems pretty stable to me. (Never trust the coder.) In this release, we’ve added a number of operations and expanded the SPCascadingDropdowns function to work with dropdowns with 20+ options. As you…
I got my fourth little medal in the MSDN Forums yesterday. I spend time over at the SharePoint Products and Technologies Forums > SharePoint – Design and Customization forum trying to help folks out and because I learn a lot from their questions. It’s nice to get the little extra GIF for the effort, too. I…
