This code allows you to embed visio files within IE (Internet Explorer). I know, I know, it doesn’t work in Chrome or any other browser for that matter, but it’s still nice if you have an audience that will be using IE only.

Her request led to creation of the Forms Portal, a SharePoint site designed to replace the Excel spreadsheet and facilitate access to its valuable data to the whole company.

The great thing about the DVWP is that it’s just XSL. XSL is what tells the browser what to draw in HTML, so you can go in and remove any of the columns you don’t want the user to filter by.

This question came in my email from Fernando: I used the code from your article, Extending the DVWP – Part 22: Creating Title Based on Other Fields in jQuery. I’m having a problem when using fields that are not “Text”, for example in fields combo box or radio button the variable returns “undefined”.

If you’ve followed along from the beginning, we have just finished building a Drop Down List that’s automatically populated with Items the current user has created.

So.. unless you’ve been living under a rock (or in Arkansas) you have no doubt read a billion blogs (well, maybe not a billion) about using jQuery in SharePoint.

We should probably look at how these two are related. CAML (Collaborative Application Markup Language) queries are the instructions within the DVWP or SPDatasource that controls what data is retrieved from the database.

Well, better late than never, as I’m too fond of saying. In this series, you’ve seen how you can use some DVWPs, jQuery (and simple JavaScript), and the SharePoint Web Services to build a pretty slick and complex application.

Now that we have a good base, we can move this form along into something useful. Essentially what we are going to do is have the Drop Down List display the correct Edit Form for that document.

Now that Mark Miller has allowed the cowboy to run wild, let’s jump into setting up this DVWP (Data View Web Part) Edit Form. I always add a Web Part Zone to every custom page that I create.
