I ran across a great JQuery and SharePoint 2007 blog post yesterday, and I wanted to capture the URL here for later reference. Vedant Kulshreshtha has done a great job gathering up links to explain what jQuery is all about, why it is a good thing, what people think about it, how you might use…
I had a question on my recent article over at EndUserSharePoint.com entitled A jQuery Library for SharePoint Web Services (WSS 3.0 and MOSS): Real World Example – Part 1. 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…
Bjørn Furuknap, never the shrinking wallflower, posted an article today about SharePoint Configuration vs. Development. One of the things that always seems to be missing is the bridge between the two approaches. I’ve lived on both sides of the wall, and as long as there’s a wall, things fail. SharePoint is a collaboration platform, yet…
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…
Cross posted from EndUserSharePoint.com… In my last post, I wrote about why I decided to start building the jQuery Library for SharePoint Web Services. In this post, I’ll tell you a bit about what’s there and how it works. If you’re totally familiar with the SharePoint Web Services, this may all be old hat to…
In my jQuery Library for SharePoint Web Services, one of the most popular functions is $().SPServices.SPCascadeDropdowns. The SPCascadeDropdowns function lets you set up cascading dropdowns on SharePoint forms. What this means is that you can enforce hierarchical relationships between column values. This is sometimes called connected dropdowns or linked dropdowns (or probably other things I…
I was asked via an email from this blog to look at a thread in the MSDN SharePoint – Design and Customization forum today. Of course, I was curious and headed right over there. Here’s the basic question (there’s lots more detail in the thread): My problem precisely and concisely is that I get tasked (A…
