Over the last few days or so, Christina Wheeler (@cwheeler76) and I were trying to figure out why my jQuery Library for SharePoint Web Services (SPServices) wouldn’t work when SharePoint was enabled for anonymous access. I had always assumed that it was just one of those things. Even though I couldn’t find any definitive documentation…
As I posted last week, I’m going to start certifying the jQuery Library for SharePoint Web Services (SPServices) functions for use with SharePoint 2010. In thinking through how best to do that, I realized that I needed a good, clear way to indicate what I’ve tested and whether there are any caveats you might need…
It’s a little late, but I wanted to get a blog post out about v0.5.2. I released in on Sunday, March 7. Since then there have already been almost 200 downloads! Also see my prior post for information about the library with SharePoint 2010. There was one interesting thing I dealt with in this release which…
For months now when people have asked me about whether the jQuery Library for SharePoint Web Services will work with SharePoint 2010, I’ve been pretty much dodging the question.

I got a question today via Twitter and my blog that I thought I’d share: Further to Twitter message, I need to lookup values in a large list (thousands of items). Now, list performance and architecture issues aside, my intention is to use some JQuery enabled textbox which makes web service calls to suggest matching…
It’s not unusual to want to know if a user is in a certain permission group and change how a page behaves based on whether or not s/he is. AlexLee over on EndUserSharePoint.com‘s Stump the Panel asked how you might be able to do this using SharePoint’s Web Services. jQuery Library for SharePoint Web Services…
I’ve been meaning to revisit my post from November 1 last year entitled jQuery Library for SharePoint Web Services: Interim Update on What’s Coming Up in v0.5.0. I wanted to see how I was doing, if I’d forgotten about anything, etc. Reading through the post, I’m happy to say that I’m still having the fun…
I’m going to capture the things I find that are problems as I upgrade my jQuery Library for SharePoint Web Services from jQuery 1.3.2 to the just released jQuery 1.4. In theory everything ought to work as is, but we all know that life doesn’t always work that way. As I find things, I’ll add them to this…
