This is one of those things that I’m amazed I haven’t run into before. Perhaps I did in the past and wrote it off to my own lack of understanding. It turns out that this is a known, if rarely mentioned, limitation not only for Data View Web Parts (DVWPs) but also Content Query Web…
Yes, that title says using jQueryUI on InfoPath forms in SharePoint. InfoPath forms are fantastic, except when they just aren’t quite able to do what you want. While InfoPath can help you take your SharePoint list forms to a whole new level, there may be times when you want to add some behavior to those…
Do you have any lists in SharePoint where the forms seem to go on and on, marching down the page, seemingly ad infinitum? I’ve seen lists which have over a hundred, even over 300 columns. This is a horrible thing to do to your users for so many reasons, but one of the primary reasons…
Here’s another quick question that ought to be useful to many people as they develop solutions with SPServices. Here’s the original question: Is there a way to add and animate /_layouts/images/gears_an.gif to my SPServices Page while the Service Request is being processed. Everything I have seen seems to require calling SPLongOperation from the code beside….
As is often the case, one of the threads on the SPServices Discussions seemed worth bringing over as a blog post. Here’s the initial question, with the script cleaned up a little for clarity: Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. When I first completed this project last month it was pulling all of…
I got an email through my blog the other day which asked an interesting question. My reply bounced back, so I figured I’d post it here as well as in the SPServices Discussions (where a question like this belongs, anyway). Hi Marc, first of all thank you for your contributions to the sharepoint community. [You’re…
I recently did a survey asking the SPServices user community questions about how they used the library, how long they’ve used it, why, for what types of solutions, etc. I read through all of the responses, learned a few things, and promptly forgot to publish the results. There is some interesting information in the responses…
As a follow up to my prior post Adding jQuery to a SharePoint Page: Step One, Always, here’s another step one, always, for when you are using jQuery+SPServices. Even if you have referenced the jQuery library correctly, you still may not be referencing SPServices correctly. To make sure that SPServices is referenced correctly, add this…
The SPServices discussions are a fount of interesting information. I find myself answering all sorts of questions which, while connected to SPServices, are often just as much about how SharePoint works in general. I had two questions recently about how to update Lookup columns with UpdateListItems, and I thought they would be of general interest….
I know that I’m going to look for this tip again, so this post is as much as a “note to self” as anything else, though I expect that others will use it, too. One of the streams I watch with HootSuite is a plain old search for “SPServices”. It’s useful for me to see…
