This is a little script that works on classic SharePoint lists (modern lists, you should really use PowerApps to customize it). It'll allow you to format a field row, label or the cell the value is in. Similar to: Yes, it's ugly, but I wanted to highlight it plainly: formatRow - allows you to format... Continue Reading →
Embedding your JavaScript into a SharePoint page
A very typical approach for client side development in SharePoint is to throw the code onto the page where you need it.

Navigating multiple calendars in SharePoint

I thought cool and continued searching and came across a few people who have done it. I compiled and took the stuff I liked from Jan Tielens' post introducing the... Continue Reading →
SharePoint: Defaulting external links to open in a new window
Within SharePoint, you can have links to other resources outside of SharePoint. These could go to other internal systems, or external websites.
