HTML, the markup language that is used to create websites, is in its latest version, HTML5. This is a premier upgrade to the markup scheme, making it more efficient and capable. In this article, you will read about the advantages of HTML5.
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.
Maintain Scroll Position On PostBack Using JavaScript
Say you have a web form containing a div that contains a datalist. The rows of your datalist, (along with other controls) contain checkboxes. Now every time a checkbox is checked and unchecked, you need to do some server side validation in code before letting the user proceed. Your datalist contains tons of rows and by default, each time a validation occurs, the datalist “refreshes” and scrolls back to the top. This can easily get annoying for users and can ruin the general user experience. But we can fix it with a bit of JavaScript 🙂
Call SharePoint Server Side Method With JavaScript
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.
Add Custom Action To SharePoint Ribbon
I wrote this post as a follow up to my last post: Add Custom Action To SharePoint Edit Control Block. Just like with the edit control block, SharePoint Developers often need to add a custom action to the 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). I have had to do this many times myself and since there isn’t a lot of resources available on the subject, I decided to write this post for those who might want to do this sometime, and for myself as a future reference.
