Some actions in SharePoint (e.g. executing querys) can take a while. You want the user to not do any action or even change the data while your process is running. So you need the wait dialog that SharePoint is displaying some time. Calling the dialog is pretty easy. All you need is a line of code.

Of course you have once updated a SharePoint listitem out of the list view. To display the results you've updated the whole page. But you do not need to. With this simple statement you can update the view without any redirect or refreshing of the page:

In my last post  I extended the view of a list. The goal was to add the unit of measurement next to a numeric value. Now I want to extend it by adding the unit into the forms (new, edit and display) of this list. This is how the form usually looks like: At first we need to write the code.

Maybe you already had the problem that you needed to use a a simple replace in JavaScript. The problem is while using "string.replace('old string', 'new string')" just the first match will be replaced. This is kind of weird if you are coming from the .Net world. So there are two ways to perform a replace all in JavaScript: the replacing with arrays and the regex replacing
