UPDATE 2009-08-26: We’ve translated this logic into our jQuery Library for SharePoint Web Services. I *strongly* suggest that you look at that as an option, as it is far more robust. And free! In my post last week entitled Cascading Dropdown Columns in a SharePoint Form – Part 1, I showed how to create cascading dropdowns,…
When I’m working on a project, we almost always use a SharePoint Task List to manage our outstanding tasks. I’ve seen many people try to overcomplicate this process with complex workflows, roles, and permissions, but to me some simple tweaks and conventions to the basic Task List get you much further along and make life…
And I don’t think so, either. I love sitting down with the Boston Globe and finding out what’s going on in the world and locally. (I am totally at odds with the editorial slant of the Globe, but that’s part of what I enjoy!) Even better if I can read the Globe lying in the…
This is already all over the blogosphere, but I thought I’d RB (re-blog, like RT, right?) it. The official public information about SharePoint 2010 is starting to trickle out over at the Microsoft SharePoint 2010 site. The videos are worth a watch!
UPDATE 2009-08-26: I’ve translated this logic into my jQuery Library for SharePoint Web Services. I *strongly* suggest that you look at that as an option, as it is far more robust. And free! UPDATE 2009-07-19: I’ve added a second post on this with a simpler example. It also contains a link to a demo page which…
So, you know that there are a lot of things out there on the Web that the kids are using these days to create their own Web presence, and you are wondering how to go about creating your own personal or small business “brand”. I’ve been advising a few friends and colleagues on this lately,…
I’ve been watching so many folks out there doing cool things with jQuery, and it’s time to bite the bullet and get up to speed. I wanted to take a look at something I’d recently posted about and see how I could do it with jQuery rather than pure JavaScript to see what the differences…
I’ve noticed over the last few months that many of the SharePoint blogs which I’ve been following for years have sort of gone away. They are actually still there, but rather than being a source of great, insightful information about new ways to do things with SharePoint, tips and tricks, code snippets, and the like,…
If you’ve got a text-align attribute in your CSS and all looks well in Internet Explorer but not in Firefox, there’s a simple (though non-sensical) fix. It seems that Firefox doesn’t honor the text-align attribute all the time, but there’s a Mozilla-specific tag which will force it to play nicely: The CSS above will right-justify…
Many so-called Web 2.0 sites show a little icon for any links which send you out of their purview to another site. This is a nice thing to do within SharePoint as well. You can easily make this happen without users needing to take any action by adding some JavaScript into your master page. I…
