I’ve started really cranking on the new version of SPServices and I’m having a blast, as usual. I’ve learned a few things already, and I thought I’d capture them in a post. “use strict”; Just gotta do it. I balked at implementing this previously, as it kept hating my code. Well, it hated my code…
As I gear up to work on the next release of SPServices, I want to make some pretty fundamental changes/improvements to the internal plumbing. What I’m hoping to do with this post is to gather any ideas and feedback that the user community has about the implementation before I go too far with things. Deferred…
I want to thank the fine folks at SusQTech (@SusQTech) – Steve Witt (@SPLumberjack) and Julia Oates (@juliaoates), in particular – for asking me to present in their “30 on Thursday” webinar series today. We had a great turn out and it’s a given that I love to talk about SharePoint and jQuery together. It’s like…
Codeplex users tedka and danstaley have reported issues using SPServices with jQuery 1.9.0. You can read their issues here and here, respectively. I’ve done some quick testing, and the problem seems to be with the minified version of jQuery 1.9.0, *not* 1.9.0 itself. When I use the non-minified version, my test pages perform just fine….

In the thread, emfuentes27 wanted to know why s/he saw different results in SharePoint Designer than in the browser when using this formula: Not only had…
Dan Antion (@dantion) did a great post over on his SharePoint Stories blog this morning called People Want Different Things. Dan does one excellent post per week on that blog. They arrive every Saturday morning, and reading it is usually one of the first things I do of a Saturday. Today’s was a great post,…
This is a really simple little thing. I end up writing little functions like this all the time, and never think much about them. But they are darn useful. This little function will hide a list column’s row in the form. You might want to do this on a NewForm but not the EditForm, for…
Well, Microsoft’s SharePoint Conference 2012 has come to a close, and I’m writing this post on the plane flying back to Boston. It was a humdinger of a conference. Not only was this the largest SharePoint conference on record, having it in Las Vegas made everything seem just that much bigger and flashy. Whether it…
I don’t have much to say about this new tool from Lightning Tools yet, but it sure does looks promising. Lighting Tools makes good stuff in general, so I’m sure it’s going to work well. If I can get my hands on a beta copy and can kick the tires some, I’ll let you know…
