I am not so sure that jQuery is included as part of SharePoint 2010. Yes, it is integrated into Visual Studio 2010 in so far as intellisense and jQuery is provided in a local folder post install.

More searching didn’t turn up any other solutions. I tried various vbscript/excel functions in the calculated field to no avail. Then I started thinking clientside. I figured that if I could identify the fields in the list display, I should be able to manipulate them with jQuery. A quick search turned up a nice little piece of code by Paul Grenier on EndUserSharePoint.com. He has written a series entitled jQuery for Everyone and one of his articles was on Replacing [Today]. In his article, Paul talks about replacing a DateTime field with an Aging calculation. His article calculates a DateTime from the last modification date.

This code is nothing new to the wonderful people who help support EndUserSharePoint by attending our online workshops. But if you haven’t had a chance to attend the online workshop, this example code replaces the AOP LoadTip example.

I’m going to continue from yesterday’s overview with a drilldown of how I created a customized list to handle the display of external video content. The problem we are trying to resolve is how to manage access to external video content that is not stored in SharePoint.

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 (WSS 3.0 or MOSS) for a good long time, and my library will help make it work better and more “coolly” for us now rather than waiting for SharePoint 2010.

Search has not been easy with SharePoint 2007 and especially with WSS 3.0. For example many times I just want to search list or document library. What I want is ability to see what items match what I’m looking for specifically with the list that is showing right now. I would like to search, not have to refresh the page or go to another location to do the search.

I’m finishing my first draft for creating a SharePoint site template for jQuery and scripting resources and looking for input from those of you developing jQuery solutions embedded in Content Editor Web Parts in SharePoint. Take a look at the diagram and let me know if anything essential is missing.
