  • Printing just the web part (not the stuff round it)

    (Reposted due to undeletable spam comments) So I have created a web part that is a calulation based on various fields in various lists on the site. It displays a table full of data and some text stuff. The client wanted to be able to print just what could...

  • Filtered Dropdowns in Newform/Editform

    Ihave been working on populating a field with items from another list depending on what I pick in the previous field and have got a bit further on. I now have a list where one of the lookup fields fills depending on what you have picked in the previous...

  • Filtered lookups - creating data in excel

    I was trying to come up with an idea that would make filtered lookups so that only a select number of items in a lookup would appear. For example if you had non-active data in a lookup and only wanted to be able to select from the active ones, but you...

  • Personalised Navbar

    You can have a personalised navbar for each person by creating a list of the links and then entering the links for each person that you want to see in the navbar. Create a dataview that mimics whichever navbar you wish to have personalised (for example...

  • Putting totals in for a field that is a calculated one

    I have often thought it a bit strange that you cannot total a calculated field, particularly when it is a number. I managed to acheive this a while ago but had forgotten how I did it so now I am going to put in down in writing so that I don't forget...

  • Problems with custom link bars

    When adding a custom link bar through FrontPage it basically just doesn't appear on the page in IE. Can't yet figure out why not.

  • Problems with submitting forms

    We are having problems when some external uses (extranet site with SSL) are clicking submit on a form. Basically they just get a blank page with the URL http://server/site/_vti_bin/owssvr.dll?CS=109 - I assume this is something to do with their IE settings...

  • Back

    Have been out for a couple of months with a back problem and subsequent operation but am getting back into things now. There was a useful webcast whilst I was off showing the power of the dataview web part: http://msevents.microsoft.com/CUI/WebCastEventDetails...

  • Superstitious

    I have now been off work for 5 weeks but have been trying to keep in touch with what is going on in the Sharepoint world! Now I just have to stop being superstitious as all is happening on Friday 13th - I have an appontment with the consultant finally...

  • Site Definitions - adding navigation

    I am tring to create a new site definition but I want to include a custom navigation bar in there and I am not sure how to do that. I'll have a look around and see if I can come up with any answers. 26 July OK, so it is easy enough to just add another...

  • Annoying thing in conditional formatting

    I have been using conditional formatting in my web part pages but have been a bit annoyed at some of it - for example, I want to display a field only when it has some data in it so I set the conditional formatting to hide the field if the field Equals...

  • Loads of Stuff!

    There seems to be loads of new stuff on the internet about web parts etc - it's just a question of finding the time to test all of these things out. One thing I must try and look at is integrating Reporting Services with web parts: http://www.gotdotnet...

  • What's New

    Have just downloaded the What's New web part from Lead-It and this seems to work well, code is here: http://weblogs.asp.net/jan/archive/2004/03/04/84011.aspx Will implement this in our production servers later...

  • Change to edit/disp dropdown

    Someone in SharepointU gave some really cool code to change/add items to the edit dropdown. I have been using this but have come across a couple of issues: Firstly, I created a Print drop-down which went to my newly created printform.aspx, however, I...
