  5.  The solutions presented here apply to all flavors of SharePoint 2007 and 2010  They can be installed via the standard SharePoint UI  They rely on custom code, and are not available out of the box. However, many of them:  Are packaged, and can easily be installed by end users or power users  Are available for free
  6.  Standard  Styled tabs  Accordion
  7.  Snapshot  Original list
  8.  Tutorial  Live demo
  9.  Image Rotator  Slideshow  Slideshows or sliders are obviously a popular trend right now in the web design world – and for good reason. It’s an effective way to highlight something important and create some visual interest. [Source]
  10.  Various visual indicators  Countdown
  11.  Matrix view

  15.  SharePoint 2007:  events are added on the server side  Full page refresh for new date  SharePoint 2010:  events are added on the client side (progressive enhancement)  Partial page refresh for new date (AJAX)  Works well for rich display, or for content updates

  21.  Easy Tabs  Color coded calendar  PivotTable
  22.  High flexibility  Example: color coded calendar  Lighter to test and install  Easy to remove – back to the OOTB behavior  Client side interaction works offline  Leverages resources outside the SharePoint world  Benefits from the active JavaScript community (e.g. jQuery plugins)  Great way to empower the users and encourage user adoption
  23.  Risk: users gone wild  Solution: educate the users  Method or hack (example: HTML Calculated Column)  Doesn’t solve everything (permissions, access other domains)  Issues with older browsers, or if the user turns off client side scripting  Dependent on the original, OOTB Web Parts  If the original HTML content is modified, the script needs to be executed again
  24.  Get the script  Upload the script to the Site Assets library  Tagging  Add a Content Editor Web Part  Link the CEWP to the script  [optional] Export the CEWP, upload it to the Web Part gallery
  25.  Client side scripting is a powerful addition to your SharePoint toolbox  See it as a complement to server side options, rather than a competitor  It is code that requires attention and maintenance, don’t be fooled by its apparent ease of use
  26.  SharePoint User Toolkit  http://sp2010.pathtosharepoint.com/sharepoint- user-toolkit/  SharePoint User Managed Solutions (SUMS)  LinkedIn open group (everybody has read access)
  27.  Sites regularly updated with fresh, up-to-date content:  jQuery Library for SharePoint Web Services – Marc Anderson, SharePoint MVP  SharePoint JavaScripts – Alexander Bautz  Path to SharePoint  Search the Web for “SharePoint JavaScript” or “SharePoint jQuery”
  28.  Allows users to embed custom html in a SharePoint page HTML includes <script> and <link> tags  Best practice: store the script in a central library and link to it
  29.  jQuery is a popular JavaScript library  Built on JavaScript  Strengths: ▪ Offers AJAX in a packaged, user friendly interface ▪ Addresses cross-browser inconsistencies ▪ Has prebuilt animation functions (fade, etc.)
  30.  Recognition of AJAX as a standard way to interact with the browser  Development of JavaScript libraries that address cross-browser issues  New generation of browsers with JavaScript engines that boost performance  New standards that increase the features of client side scripting (e.g. canvas element)
