Unlocking the Mysteries of Data View Web Part XSL Tags – Part 18 – Miscellaneous – Some Math / Number Functions

This entry is part 18 of 21 in the series Unlocking the Mysteries of Data View Web Part XSL Tags

Cross-posted from EndUserSharePoint.com… I’m going to go back to the XPath Math / Number functions for this article to cover a few of them. Most of these functions are fairly intuitive, but I’m a math guy. (Yup, I even majored in it in college back during the Renaissance.) However, I find that the “documentation” in…

Cool Use of SPServices from SPEvilGenius (aka Daniel Walker)

Every once in a while, someone comes back to the jQuery Library for SharePoint Web Services (SPServices) site and shares something they have been doing with the library.  I read through one today that was impressive, so I thought I’d post it here so more people can read it and see what neato stuff is…

Unlocking the Mysteries of Data View Web Part XSL Tags – Part 17 – <xsl:comment> and <xsl:text>

This entry is part 17 of 21 in the series Unlocking the Mysteries of Data View Web Part XSL Tags

Cross-posted from EndUserSharePoint.com… There are a few more XSL tags that I should briefly touch upon. They are used much less often than the others that I’ve covered, but more than the bunch that I’m not going to talk about at all. There’s a set of them that are really only going to make sense…

Allowing Anonymous Access with SharePoint Web Services and SPServices

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…

Unlocking the Mysteries of Data View Web Part XSL Tags – Part 16 – <xsl:attribute>

This entry is part 16 of 21 in the series Unlocking the Mysteries of Data View Web Part XSL Tags

Cross-posted from EndUserSharePoint.com… When I made my initial pass through the XSL tags for this series, I missed a few.  The example XSL I used in Parts 1 through 11 was very basic: just what you’ve get if you added a DVWP to a page to display the Title column of a list and that…

Set a People Picker’s Value on a Form – Revisited with jQuery

Jim Bob Howard (@jbhoward) always asks me good questions.  Today he was interested in setting the value of a People Picker on a form with script.  I pointed him at my old post about doing it with JavaScript, but we’re jQuery buddies, so I wanted to give him some jQuery instead. That and the fact…

Displaying a Multi-Select Column "Nicely" in a DVWP with Web Services

<UPDATE dateTime=”2011-06-29T18:11Z”>I fixed a bug in the template where it didn’t always show the final value in the multi-select.</UPDATE> In a previous post entitled Displaying a Multi-Select Column “Nicely”, I gave a recursive XSL function which split apart the values in a multi-select column and gave you the option to separate them with any separating…

New Logo and Certification Icons for the jQuery Library for SharePoint Web Services (SPServices)

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…
