This post was cross-posted on NothingButSharePoint.com on 9 May, 2011. In my earlier post, I showed how to add script into a page using the CEWP in SharePoint 2007. In this post, I’ll do the same for SharePoint 2010, though in SharePoint 2010 there are other options as well. It’s worth repeating the intro to the…
This post was cross-posted on NothingButSharePoint.com on 26 April, 2011. This one may seem so obvious as to not merit a post or two, but I get questions on it often enough and I realized that if I had posts to refer to, it’d be helpful. I don’t see the CEWP as evil like many…
Mark Rackley (@mrackley) is definitely earning the salary I’m paying him as the Marketing Manager for SPServices. (Yes, that salary is zero.) He posted another great article about Using SPServices & jQuery to Clone a Parent Item and All its Children today, and I wanted to point out a few things about it. I’m not…
Live and learn. Maybe that’s my mantra. One thing I can tell you is that the first time I come up with a way to do something, it’s rarely the best. If I look at some old code of mine and think it’s perfect, I worry. We all are learning all the time, and it’s…
<UPDATE> 2010-10-27: After you read this, be sure to read Christophe’s follow-up to this post: About Scripts, Web Parts and Urban Myths. He gives some other specifics you’ll probably need. </UPDATE> One of the things I heard at SPTechCon several times was that in SharePoint 2010, it is no longer possible to put script into Content Editor…
In one of my client projects, we kept seeing this error, and basically ignored it for a long time. In our case, we saw the errors specifically on pages that included NewsGator Web Parts and we thought they might be the problem, but it was actually a problem with the SharePoint AJAX settings which NewsGator would…
Every once in a while, I write a fairly long response to a question in one of my USPJ Academy courses that just feels like a blog post. Here’s another one of those. We’ve been discussing why you would choose to use DOM manipulation over custom .NET programming. Here’s one of my replies in the…
This is a cool trick devised by one of my colleagues at my current client. (Confidentiality reigns supreme in client situations. Suffice it to say that this wasn’t my bright idea, but I give credit to the real thinker.) We were having trouble with caching of .js and .css files which we were deploying to the…
I got this question in one of my courses over at the USPJ Academy, and I though the answer might be more widely useful. JavaScript files (and CSS files) can be minified for production use) – ref. your post on the JavaScript CompressorRator. I was wondering – by pure curiosity – if compressing xsl templates…
When I release a new version of my SPServices library, I always release two versions: the regular JavaScript/jQuery file and the minified version of the same. Minification “squishes” the scripts down, removing comments, white space, etc. so that you can send as few bytes down the wire as possible to keep page load times snappy….
