This discussion is related to my previous two posts about working with the SharePoint edit control block and the Sharepoint ribbon programmatically. This is a technique I have often found useful when working with ASP dot NET forms called as modal dialogs with JavaScript in SharePoint. I will describe how to call a SharePoint server side method with JavaScript after closing a modal dialog by pressing OK or Cancel. I will also show how you may pass parameters.
Frontend (Client-Side)
When I write about front-end (or client-side) programming stuff, I post them to this section. So, here you will find content related (but not limited) to HTML, JavaScript, and CSS. JavaScript is a big deal these days. And with technologies like Node.js, it is now much more than just a client-side scripting language. So, depending on whether I'm talking about JavaScript for client-side or server-side work, you may find the content listed here or on the server-side page.
Add Custom Action To SharePoint Ribbon

Add Custom Action To SharePoint Edit Control Block
SharePoint Developers often need to add a custom action to the SharePoint edit control block (ECB).
