Testing sharepoint search web service using jquery

This is a code to test the search web service in SharePoint. Here is the Javascript part

function SoapSearchCaller(){
 var queryXml = "";
    var soapEnv = "";
    
    queryXml = jQuery("#inptextarea").val();
 
 soapEnv += "";
 soapEnv += '';
    soapEnv += '';
    soapEnv += '';
 soapEnv += escapeHTML(queryXml);
    soapEnv += '';
    soapEnv += '';
 soapEnv += '';
 soapEnv += '';

    jQuery.ajax({
        url: "/_vti_bin/search.asmx",
        type: "POST",
        dataType: "xml",
        data: soapEnv,
        complete: CIToolsProcessResult,
        contentType: "text/xml; charset=\"utf-8\""
    });
};

// process the results from the web service
function CIToolsProcessResult(xData, status) {
 jQuery("#Response").append(""+status+"");    
 jQuery("#Response").append(xData.responseText);    
}; // end of processResult

Here is the HTML part

Filtering sharepoint expiration date with xsl

jQuery Shadowbox and Photo Library

Sorry, I don't have time to write a tutorial, but basically it is the same as the other async calls with jquery. It reads a Photo Library, order by date, populate the "ciPhotoOfTheMonth" DIV and call shadowbox to attach the href tags inside of a DIV to shadowbox

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/_layouts/js/shadowbox/shadowbox.css">

Printing object xmldocument

To print the "object xmldocument" you can use: alert('responseText: ' + xData.responseText);

Sharepoint Master page and "save your changes before continuing, click OK. To continue without saving changes, click Cancel" alert

For some reason some controls in edit mode throws: save your changes before continuing, click "OK". To continue without saving changes, click "Cancel".

To fix the leave authoring problem in sharepoint you need to add the following tag in the header of your master page:

<meta equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7">

jQuery and Sharepoint web services - add a list item

This is a very basic tutorial in how to add list items using SharePoint and jQuery. Some prerequisites to understand what is happening.

• jQuery
• SharePoint web services
• List GUIDs

The main items to observe are:

• xhr.setRequestHeader that you can get from the web services page (see bellow)
• in the SharePoint' list you need two columns Title and Description
• the browser alert window will return some information that you could remove after testing
• after posting the information in the list it will run the processResult function where you can do some fancy user feedback

Html with the fields to be edited by the user

Title: 
Description: 

In the SharePoint web services description you can extract the value for the xhr.setRequestHeader variable invoking /_vti_bin/lists.asmx?op=UpdateListItems, here is an example:

POST /_vti_bin/lists.asmx HTTP/1.1
Host: www.ausinnovation.org
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: length
SOAPAction: "http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/UpdateListItems"

Bug x Feature

Removing html tags from xml with xslt (aka string html tags with xslt)

The technique to remove tags from xml with xslt is very creative. If you have a xml document that is like:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet <b> consectetur adipiscing elit </b>. Suspendisse ac ipsum eu orci accumsan dignissim. Fusce fringilla.

The script will store in the variable the items before the "<" and send to recursion the items after the ">".

Thanks to KaushaL.NET for this xslt code

Adding form to content editor web part - cewp

Sharepoint link in XSLT - FileRef

For some reason SharePoint translate your FileRef links in XSLT when you use the data view web part, content query web part, or any other XSL in SharePoint. It translates to the library link. To fix it, you have to use the xsl:attribute. Example:

Dilberts

jquery .text garbage bug

There is a small bug in IE that makes $.text() return garbage text at end, in case you have a bug that you cannot nail down, debug the problem using: alert(encodeURIComponent($.text(...))); that will show any hidden character.
