Cascading lists drop downs in SharePoint Designer (no server-side code) without postback

I've created cascading drop downs populated from SharePoint lists, by following
this post by Lars in SharePoint designer without using code, it works fine, my issue is that the secondary drop down only populates if the main drop down causes auto-post-back, is there any way to make the secondary drop down populate without causing
post back and without using server-side code?
 

Since you are using the ASP:DropDownList, you will need the post-back since it's a server-side control that doesn't use a callback. The following JavaScript library provides for a way to creating cascading dropdowns on the client-side,

  • SharePoint Designer 2013: Server-side activities have been updated

    When developing custom activities for SharePoint 2013 Workflows, I ran into the problem that SharePoint Designer prompts “Server-side activities have been updated. Please restart SharePoint designer” every time when you try to create a new workflow.

    Hi,
    I recommend to clear/delete the cached files and folders under the following directories from your server installed SharePoint Designer, then check results again.
    <user profile>\appdata\roaming\microsoft\SharePoint Designer\ProxyAssemblyCache
    < user profile>\appdata\local\microsoft\websitecache\<sitename>

    If the issue still occurs, please re-install SharePoint Designer.
    Best regards.

  • What is the shortcut to activate the tab list drop-down?

    I seem to remember I used to use a keyboard shortcut to activate the tab list drop-down, instead of clicking on the downward arrow. Can someone tell me if it still exists and what it is?

    Not that I know of if you mean the "List all tabs" button at the far right end of the Tab bar.
    You can look at this extension to have an Alt+A shortcut.

  • Editable drop downs in sharepoint?

    Is there any way to create "editable" drop downs for a list in sharepoint? Meaning that if the value is not listed, the user can add it right away.
    Thanks,
    Carlos Roberto Vargas

    You mean a SharePoint list forms right?  In the settings for the choice column in the list settings there is an option that lets you specify whether your users can add their own choices.  Enabling this will allow users to add their own
    terms.
    Or you can set the choice column as a look-up list and let them add additional options to the look-up column.

  • The tab list drop down arrow has disappeared and can't be restored through the customize dialog.

    The dropdown arrow used to be there, as well as the tab scroll arrows when many tabs are open. But both suddenly disappeared. When I bring up the customize dialog, I can then see the drop down arrow in the tab bar, but if I click restore default set and close the customize dialog, there is still no dropdown arrow. If I open the customize dialog and drag the arrow into the dialog, it shows up there. But if I try to drag it back to the tab bar and then click Done, it still does not appear.

    You will only see the "List All Tabs" button in Firefox 12+ if there are that many tabs open that you get the Tab bar scroll buttons appearing.

  • Drop downs in LiveCycle Designer

    I have two drop downs.  The first drop down has 5 items, the second has 20.  When the user selects a item in the first drop down I only want the second drop down to show 4 of the items.  How do I write a script for that?  Thank you!

    I would like to know if it is an item in the first dropdown list corresponding to 4 items of the second.
    If yes,you can use array.
    1. In the first "exit" event
    var alistName = new Array("A","B","C","D");
    var alistValue = new Array("1","2","3","4");
    var blistName = new Array("AA","BB","CC","DD");
    var blistValue = new Array("11","22","33","44");
    if(this.rawValue == "A")
    for(var i=0;i<alistName.length;i++)
    var name = alistName[i];
    var value = alistValue[i];
    DropDownList2.addItem(name,value);
    if(this.rawValue == "B")
    for(var j=0;j<blistName.length;j++)
    var bname = blistName[j];
    var bvalue = blistValue[j];
    DropDownList2.addItem(bname,bvalue);
    2. In the first "change" event
    if(xfa.event.newText !=this.rawValue){ DropDownList2.rawValue = null; }

  • Can't see Lists and Libraries in SharePoint Designer 2010

    Hello,
    I'm moving Site Collections from one domain to another domain. I set up Development Farm and Production Farm in new domain.  I moved all site collections to Development Environment without any problem. However, I'm having a problem with one site collection
    in Production. When I restored site collection in Production, I cannot see Lists and Libraries in SP Designer.  On the other hand, when I restore same site collection in Development, I see Lists and Libraries in SP Designer.
    I have five servers in Production; 2wfe, 2app, and 1db.
    I have three servers in Development; 1wfe, 1app, and 1db.
    What could be the issue? It's frustrating!
    Thanks

    Hi,
    have you checked the Log for any error, there could be broken links and may be SPD is throwing some error which would be easier to isolate the issue.

  • To develop cascading select drop down box from web service

    Hi,
    I have two select drop downs one is "STATE" and other is "CITY". I am fetching the values for state drop down from a web service method "return"(*a list is returned from that method*) . Now i have a method in a webservice which accepts a string type argument(state) which returns the cities corresponding to that state. I made another drop down from "return"( list is returned from that method) of this second method which gives me city.
    Now what i want to do is on selecting a state the webservice method should get executed passing "selected state" as a parameter to my web service function and that return will populate my second drop down list.
    Can partial trigger help me in this?
    If partial trigger is helpful,how will i pass an argument to my second method which is returning me cities?
    OR
    Is there some other way to do it?

    Hi Sivakumar,
    I found solution for you but you have to change in the standard as there are no exits for this.
    Are you interested by changing the standard?

  • I18N of SELECT Lists (Drop Downs)

    I have a good grasp of the simple resource bundle approach to I18N. Is there a best practice for internationalizing values that appear in drop down select boxes? These lookup values are often stored in the database. How does this reconcile with the use of resource bundles.
    Shipping method:
    <SELECT NAME="shipping">
    <OPTION VALUE="1"> Standard
    <OPTION VALUE="2"> 2-day
    <OPTION VALUE="3"> Overnight
    </SELECT>

    If you have such values stored in your database, then simply develop an appropriate data schema which allows you to look up the values based on language or locale IDs, and store all the translated values in the DB.
    You would need to provide the values from the database in some sort of appropriate format for translation (XML would probably be a good choice), so you would need to have a method of extracting the values to such external files and inserting them in the DB again. This will allow the use of translation tools such as translation memories etc. for the translation, and it will avoid potential problems with allowing translators direct access to the database.
    And then go on using resource bundles for the UI text strings.

  • In Mavericks, there was a drop-down to select outgoing SMTP server. How do I restore that functionality in Yosemite?

    My university email addresses forward to my Fastmail account. I want to be able to send through the university SMTP servers. Mavericks had a drop-down in the compose window to send from a server of my choice. Yosemite does not have this. Is there a way to enable the equivalent functionality in Yosemite?

    I still have Mavericks on my work computer. This is the functionality I want to enable on Yosemite:
    That way if I switch the from field I can also switch the SMTP server to match. I can not find anyway to make Yosemite pair the correct from address to the correct SMTP server, or a way to manually select the SMTP server (as was possible in Mavericks).

  • User message entered in Validation settings does not show up in custom list form created in sharepoint designer 2010

    I have a custom list form created in SPD based on EditItem form.  I then set field validation in Validation setting and entered a user message to display when the validation did not pass.
    The validation works in the custom form but the user message never show up.
    I see a similar question posted in 2012:

    Is this still a known bug?   What is the easiest workaround?

    Hi ,
    From the

    Please try the code suggested by sp-achiever and hamish, and see if it could help solve the issue.

    Have you installed hotfix KB245789 or CU contained this kb?
    Please check if KB245789 has fixed this issue as KP2011 suggested in the same post, and please try it in a test environment firstly.

  • Sharepoint Forms and Custom Lists and Workflows using Sharepoint Designer

     I created a Custom SharePoint List with a custom work flow. Basically the list does the following:
    Group A initiates the list, fills in all the information
    Group A will check a box based on a Y/N question, the driver of the work flow is if the Y/N question is answered with an Y, then Group B will get a task assigned and an email notification will go to Group B to continue the work flow.
    Group B will fill out information and check Y/N question, if answer is returned Y it will go to Group C via the same method as above.
    What I need is as the form goes from one group to the next how can I make sure that Group C doesn't see the responses from Group B? How do I write this into the workflow?

    I think now I can add screen shots to explain what I need to do better.
    I created a custom sharepoint list. Users click on Add new Item and Group A will answer generic questions until they get to Continue to Dispute to IQ (Yes/no) Checkbox.  If they answer Yes, the workflow will start and create a task for Group B
    (IQ Group). Group B will answer 4 questions (IQ Responses, IQ Notes, IQ Name and Date). Group B will check Yes or No to Continue Dispute to QA (Group C).
    See Screen shot.
    What we would like for the workflow to do is based on the Yes or No check boxes (Continue to IQ or QA). If Yes is checked then the workflow will generate a task in the task list. We don't want Group B and C to see each other's responses. I set up a workflow
    using impersonate steps, but am not sure if this is correct. Can you look at the workflow steps below and let me know if this is right?

  • How to make a SharePoint list column ReadOnly using Sharepoint designer

    Hi,
             I am new to sharepoint. Need to make a few columns readonly in a sharepoint list.  Not sure how. Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks

    Here is one more Simple and Best practice to be fallowed using powershell
    http://soreddymanjunath.blogspot.in/2014/04/readonly-field-using-powershell.html
    Cls
    Add-PSSnapin "Microsoft.Sharepoint.Powershell"
    $web= Get-SPWeb -Identity "http://test.dev/sites/Wftest"
    $ls=$web.Lists.TryGetList("test");
    $flds=$ls.Fields["CustID"]
    $flds.ReadOnlyField=$true
    $flds.Update();
    Note:  If
    ReadOnlyField =TRUE,
    the field is not displayed in New or Edit forms 
    ReadOnly to TRUE hides
    the field from Site Settings pages for managing site columns and content types. Setting the Hidden attribute
    to TRUE completely
    hides the field from the UI. 
    Default  ReadOnlyField value
    is set to false.
    Best Practice is to Use 
    $flds.ShowInDisplayForm=$false;
    $flds.ShowInEditForm=$false;
