Have you even wanted to moderate documents or list items in SharePoint?
There is a built-in feature called “Content Approval” that lets you do this! When content approval is used on a list or library, this means that any item that is added or changed will have to be approved or rejected by the moderator before it is available in the list for everyone to see. The person who submitted the item will have the ability to look at a list of their submitted items and their statuses, with the capability of being alerted when the approval status changes. The moderator will be able to look at a list of items pending approval.

As part of the Hack the SharePoint Inteface – No Code Required! live online workshop, we show how to implement a message of the day web part. In the screencast below, I show how you can create a Message of the Day Web Part to implement a status update on multiple pages of your site.

Sometimes I want scripts to work as soon as possible, possibly even before document.ready.
For style changes, one option is to add CSS link or style tags to the page. However, if the CSS is tightly married to a JavaScript solution, it’s better to keep the styling changes based in JavaScript.
So here’s my approach: I wrote [...]

Eric posted a good question on our forum:
What I’d like to be able to do, is create a hyperlink or button on the page that iterates through the list of users and when clicked, opens a mailto: href that is populated with all the users.
Any ideas on how this could be accomplished with jQuery?
I had [...]
