The big headlines are: Support for multi-select parent columns in $().SPServices.SPCascadeDropdowns “Secondary” relationshipList support in $().SPServices.SPCascadeDropdowns A new completefunc option for most of the functions (where…
Cross-posted from EndUserSharePoint.com… Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 In my last article, I showed how I used my jQuery Library for SharePoint Web Services to improve data quality by enhancing an out of the box form using the SPRequireUnique, SPDisplayRelatedInfo, and PreSaveAction functions. In this installment, I’ll show you how I created…
I’ve been banging away on new features and functionality for the next version of the jQuery Library for SharePoint Web Services, so my blogging has fallen by the wayside a bit. v0.4.7 is shaping up nicely, in large part because the stuff that I’ve been adding has been driven to a large degree by the community of…
Cross posted from EndUserSharePoint.com… Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 So I’ve been going on about how wonderful this jQuery Library for SharePoint Web Services stuff is, but you may have wondered if I ever actually use the library in real world situations. You bet I do, and it lets me build some…
Following up on my post Interesting New Uses for SPDisplayRelatedInfo, I’ve just added two new options to the SPDisplayRelatedInfo function in the first alpha for v0.4.7 of the jQuery Library for SharePoint Web Services.

The question was about the SPDisplayRelatedInfo function, and while I was setting things up to see if I had a bug, I found that there were…
Today I released v0.4.6 of my jQuery Library for SharePoint Web Services. This version was fun to work on because I’ve got quite a few people out there in the world (California, North Carolina, Sweden) using the library actively, so we were able to work together pretty much real time to get enhancements and bug fixes into…
Cross posted from EndUserSharePoint.com… SPDisplayRelatedInfo is a function in the jQuery Library for SharePoint Web Services that lets you display information which is related to the selection in a dropdown. This can really bring your forms to life for users: rather than just selecting bland text values, you can show them images and links that…
<UPDATE date=”2011-02-14″>: As of jQuery 1.5, single quotes are *required* around z:row or any other similar node selector. This was actually “required” in previous versions of jQuery, but not enforced. </UPDATE> jQuery’s totally cross-browser capable, right? Well, generally, yes. However, through no fault of jQuery, Safari and Chrome don’t seem to like the z:row namespace…
This post was also published at EndUserSharePoint.com… While seemingly everyone else in the SharePoint Universe is oohing and aahing over SharePoint 2010, I continue to plod along with my jQuery Library for SharePoint Web Services. (Follow the library on Twitter: @jQSPWS.) I’m sticking with my belief that we’re all going to be using SharePoint 2007…
