An interesting email came over the transom today with some questions about "connected" list filters: Hi Marc, I often visit your blog for any doubts in dataview. I read your post on cascading dropdowns that was really helpful and presented in nice way. Recently i had to use a filter toolbar for a dataview,i had…
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…
Unfortunately quickly followed by 0.2.10a to fix a quick bug. But at least it was a quick fix, and driven by someone called mwhite01 trying to actually use SPDisplayRelatedInfo to solve a business requirement. In this release, the main new things are a new function called $().SPServices.SPDebugXMLHttpResult and a slew of new Web Service operations. …
Today we released v0.2.9 of our jQuery Library for SharePoint Web Services. This release includes a new function suggested by pagalvin in this Discussion thread.

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. We’ve had a report of some things not working in the minified version, so we’ve removed it from the downloads and will do some more testing before we release another minified version, probably not until…
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…
Another question came to me in email today that I thought was worth sharing, along with my answer. The email referred to my post about Alpha Selection of List Items in a Data View Web Part (DVWP), but it’s relevant to many Middle Tier development tasks. I hope this email comes to you in good…
UPDATE: 2009-08-28: This library doesn’t sit still for long. We’ve released version 0.2.7 to fix a small issue and are already working on version 0.2.8. I just posted a new alpha version of our jQuery library for SharePoint Web Services. In it, we’ve added 5 new operations, and a new function: SPServices.SPCascadeDropdowns. Web Service Operation Options…
