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 didn’t want to spend the time testing with beta software (my alphas and betas are always open to changes) and I didn’t want to mislead…
Here’s a nice little jQuery tip I found today. If you want to break out of an each loop in jQuery, you can do it by returning false. Here’s the real example from $().SPServices.SPArrangeChoices: Tip ‘o the tam ‘o shanter to crad on tumblr for this one.
Jim Bob Howard and I have been going back and forth thinking about this for a few days now. You’re not going to believe how simple the answer is! I found a post that told me the simple answer: Just query the list like any other list! Here’s the simple test I just did in…

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…

There’s a new, revived Stump the Panel over at EndUserSharePoint.com as of today. Those of you who follow EndUserSharePoint (@EUSP) know about the difficulties they had last month when their hosting provider shut them down due to high trafiic.
