[...] Once that was done I need to do a few things. I created a Web Part Page and opened SharePoint Designer. I then added the Change Request list to one of the web part zones. In order to get the customizations that wanted needed to create a DataView out of it so I simply right clicked on the list and converted it to a XSLT Dataview. That’s all I really need to do here so I saved the page and opened it up in the browser. What you can do with a dataview is almost limitless. The best way to tackle customizations is to make all the changes you can using the SPD interface. Once you have reached the limits of what you can do there you can start customizing the XSL. Refer to the following series by Marc to learn everything you need to know about XSL and the DVWP. http://www.endusersharepoint.com/2010/01/19/unlocking-the-mysteries-of-data-view-web-part-xsl-tags-p… [...]

I think crufty is a newly coined technical term!

Great article! I love what you can do with XSL!

It’s surprising to me, but ‘crufty’ doesn’t actually seem to be a word. However, the Jargon File comes to the rescue: http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/C/crufty.html

Thank you Marc. I look forward to the rest of the series. It has been tough to know where to start in my XSL learning. Perhaps following you is the best way sine you know how to break things down into real English for us laymen.

Thanks again!

Just caught this from @TeamEUSP. It’s nice to see a clear explaination somewhere on the web. BTW, thanks for guiding me through the XSL date/time math…
