Reduce size of a sharepoint column and content

Hi Guys,
I have a column in SharePoint 2010 of 255 characters (single line of text). It is being used in a document library and it has a data like "ddmmmyyyy - <bunch of characters/string>" There is a requirement to change the data in entire column to
only ddmmmyyyy. How can I do this? I changed the number of characters from 255 to 8 in Library settings but that doesn't help.
Eagerly waiting for your reply.
Thanks

Hi Waqas,
I am getting the following error.
The formula cannot refer to another column. Check the formula
for spelling mistakes or change the column to this column.

I tried
to create a sample document library and then tried to add a column with reference to another column and got this error.
I tried to implement the trick which you told me however when I
try to copy the modified content from Excel bakc into datasheet view it only copied the first record and not the rest of it, why ? :(
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Hosting SharePoint 2013 and content separation (Windows Server 2012)

I have a windows 2012 server which hosts a ASP.NET 4.5 MVC website.
I am interested in installing SharePoint 2013 on the same standalone server (which is a virtual cloud server, and easily scalable). I would like to be able to create separate instances of sharepoint for each of my customers (around 10), and provide them
with a custom URL ie. customer.abc.com (where abc.com is my domain). These sites will be created programmatically when a user signs us to my site (they only require basic SharePoint functionality, i.e. the creation of team sites, notifications etc.)
So:
1) Can I install SharePoint 2013 at no extra cost on windows server 2012? (what are the limitations)
2) Is it possible to create separate instances of sharepoint 2013 (in terms of config and content DB's)
3) I'm sure there are many but what are some other considerations

1) With SharePoint Foundation, SharePoint itself does not cost anything, but you must purchase User CALs for employees of your company, and User CALs for non-employees or a Windows External Connector license.
2) No, you need to use multi-tenancy instead - http://www.harbar.net/articles/sp2010mt1.aspx
Note that you must have Active Directory in this environment and the Server 2012 VM you currently have must be joined to the Active Directory domain.

Two issues: Runtime error when trying to Reduce Size or Optimize File. And navigation in some files is VERY SLOW.

I haven't figured out if there is a pattern here, as of yet.
This happens with larger files (1500 pages and so forth) and not all the time.
- Bookmarks may take up to 4-5 seconds to go to its page. Scrolling up and down pages is just as painfully slow.
Even when I break the big file into smaller sections, the navigation remains slower than molasses.
- When I try to Optimize certain files, or Reduce their size, I get a Runtime Error. I have disable the Updater (I read this could be an issue) but that made no difference. I have also broken the larger files into 2 or 3 pieces. One of the pieces may work out well (I can optimize and so forth) but the other(s) may not.
Thank you.
PS: I use Windows XP Pro, Service Pack 3. I have requested an upgrade (several times) but my wishes are not their command, I am afraid.

HI ,Thanks for your response. That was an error in the code I posted, but wasn't the error I was trying to solve. Once correcting that error you pointed out I am getting the problems not when I send a plain text email like:
          if(!sendmultipart)
             // send a plain text message
             msg.setContent(msgText, "text/plain");
          }but when I try and send multipart messages doing this:
          else
             // send a multipart message// create and fill the first message part
                   MimeBodyPart mbp1 = new MimeBodyPart();
     mbp1.setText(msgText);
      // create and fill the second message part
     MimeBodyPart mbp3 = new MimeBodyPart();
     // attach the file to the message
     FileDataSource fds = new FileDataSource(soundfile);
     mbp3.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(fds));
     mbp3.setFileName(fds.getName());
                   Multipart mp = new MimeMultipart();
     //adds the text to the message
      mp.addBodyPart(mbp1);
      //adds the attachment to the message
      mp.addBodyPart(mbp3);
       // adds the content to the message
      msg.setContent(mp);
     }So i get the error when executing the else branch.
Can you spot any errors here? I get the same error as mentioned earlier.
Thanks a lot,
Jess

How to set RelationshipDeleteBehavior on a list using a site column and content type programatically CSOM c#

On Prem development machine, I'm writng a deployment routine in c# using the client object model. I've created some site columns of type Lookup, I've created a content type and added those lookup columns to it and I've created a list using the
content type. I want to set the RelationshipDeleteBehavior property on some of the lookup columns in the list. I'm also using the 16 assemblies.
List list = cc.Web.GetListByTitle("MyList");
cc.Load(list);
cc.ExecuteQuery();
Field f = list.Fields.GetByInternalNameOrTitle("MyLookupField");
cc.Load(f);
cc.ExecuteQuery();
(f
as
FieldLookup).RelationshipDeleteBehavior =
RelationshipDeleteBehaviorType.Restrict;
f is returning as a Field but (f
as
FieldLookup) is returning null here. Any insight on this?
Thank you.
Dan Budimir

Hi,
We can use SP.ClientContext.castTo method to convert the field to lookup field . The following code snippet for your reference:
ClientContext context = new ClientContext("http://siteurl");
NetworkCredential credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password", "domain");
context.Credentials = credentials;
Web web = context.Web;
List list = web.Lists.GetByTitle("MyList");
Field field = list.Fields.GetByInternalNameOrTitle("MyLookupField");
FieldLookup lookupField = context.CastTo<FieldLookup>(field);
lookupField.RelationshipDeleteBehavior = RelationshipDeleteBehaviorType.Restrict;
lookupField.Indexed = true;
lookupField.Update();
context.ExecuteQuery();

Cap letter reducing size of same letter over and over

I am a new user. I am using a "manual" template and while typing and/or cutting and pasting, when using all caps the letter "A" keeps automatically reducing in size from he rest of the text. How can I fix this; or enable/disable this feature?

What version of InDesign? It might be important.
Does it happen with all fonts, or just with a single one? (If yes, what font?)
Does it look like a small capital 'A'? (Test by setting an entire word in small caps.)

When to use Managed Metadata service in Sharepoint 2013 and 2010

Hi Folks,
I have been working on sharepoint from quiet some time now. I have been using managed metadata service also.
What I have not been able to find out so far is when should I be using MMS.
What are the real advantages that I can draw out of it.
I have one application that has Managed Metadata installed and has various terms stores and terms.
The Managed metadata service created is utilized in search,
What I do not know is what is why are we using it at all.
What is benefit of it.
Managed metadata service could also be used in navigation is what i know.
But what confused me is when is the best scenario to use it for navigation.
Why can we not use the navigation provider in the managed metadata service.
There might be other uses also, but that is not clear to me.
Can any one tell me why and in which scenario to really use it.
I know how to configure the mms and how it works though the jargons around the managed metadata.
Regards

Managed Metadata has some specific advantages that make it useful for certain situations.
A managed metadata column has the following advantages over a lookup or choice column:
A managed metadata term set can be shared across the entire SharePoint farm, so you can use it in different site collections.
You can set up "synonyms" so that multiple similar terms resolve to the same underlying piece of information
Terms can be hierarchical (terms can be nested under other terms), and the SharePoint interface allows hierarchical filtering. For example, if I have a term set for Location, and one of my terms is North America, with terms below that for United States,
Mexico, and Canada, I could choose to filter my list to show me all records with any North America location (inclusive of US, Mexico, and Canada), or to filter on a specific term (such as Mexico).
You can allow people to enter new terms, which will then appear in the term set.
You can specify information owners/stakeholders who maintain the term sets without them needing elevated access to sites; normally only site owners can mess with site columns and content types. Managed metadata lets you separate information management
(what terms/synonyms should be used) from site management (granting access, creating groups and lists, etc).
There are some disadvantages too. For example, with a lookup column, the lookup list can store additional columns of information. A managed metadata term set (on the other hand) only really stores terms (and descriptions/synonyms), but not related
info. You might be tempted to do something like create a term set for part numbers, representing every part that your company produces; the term set would handle the part numbers just fine, but wouldn't let you add extra columns of information for
description, weight, price, etc. In such a case, a lookup list is the better option.
Microsoft has some suggested guidelines for when to use managed metadata/term store:
SharePoint 2013:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee519604(v=office.15).aspx
SharePoint 2010:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee519604(v=office.14).aspx
A brief summary...
Managed metadata is a good option when the potential metadata meets the following criteria:
Is something for which a user will select a valid value
Represents information that is likely to be used multiple times
Has valid values that can be organized hierarchically
Includes synonyms or abbreviations that should be aggregated
Can be applied in one language, but might be viewed in other languages
Managed metadata is not a good option if the potential metadata meets any of the following criteria:
Is represented by a built-in column (such as “last modified date”)
Has an infinite number of valid values
Has different valid values in each location that it is used (such as different values for the “version” attribute depending on which product team’s site the item appears in)*
Has only “yes” and “no” as valid values
*This type of metadata could still be captured in site collection-specific term stores

Filter SharePoint 2010 Ent. content types based AD Security Group

We are trying to use SharePoint as a records management system. I have several site collections (Team Site at the root of each site) and my plan is to setup one site collection as a content type hub. The content type hub would then distribute all of the
content types to my other site collections. Since I may have 70 different content types I want to filter what each user can see based on AD Security Groups (the SG matches the department the employee is in). This way they can only choose the content type that
applies to their department and it won't be so confusing. I'll then apply retention policies based on content type. I know that I can apply retention policies based on the document library but I want the users to be able to organize their records however they
want to.
Am I taking the wrong approach? Is this possible?

Hi,
As far as I know, we can define the Permission Set on a content type. In this way, you can control which users or group can change or access which content types.
For more information about SharePoint security and content type, see

Add Right Side Column and Web Parts to custom Master page in SharePoint Online

Hello everyone,
I hope this is a simple question, however I was fighting the issue it presents for a while. I am in the process of customizing SharePoint Online Look-and-feel with a new layout.
The site collection was created as a
Team Site before I got involved with the project, and populated with numerous sub-sites and pages. I activated required
publishing features, created html with corresponding styles and graphics, and used the Design Manager to convert the html file to the custom Master page. While SharePoint automatically assigned “ContentPlaceHolderMain” div area, I
also used default Oslo page as example to copy sections of the code for dynamic components (left column and navigation, recent items, the ribbon, etc.) from it and placed them in my new master page, pointed all CSS references to
my custom style sheets, etc. Everything works great, however I need to make one last addition -
my task is to make changes to display web parts such as Calendar and Recent Documents in the right column in the Master page.
My custom layout has a header, footer, main pan and two side columns. Most of the default master templates come with the LEFT column already embedded and populated with several placeholder
to serve dynamic content (PlaceHolderLeftNavBarTop, PlaceHolderQuickLaunchTop, PlaceHolderLeftNavBarDataSource, PlaceHolderLeftActions, so on).
My challenge is that I have the RIGHT side column as well, for which I don’t think the default placeholder exists. I need to add a small Calendar box and Recent Documents parts to it, so they
display across the entire site governed by this master page.
The issue is –
even after activating Publishing features (enabled SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure under Site Collection Level, and SharePoint Server Publishing under the Site
Level), there is no Snippet feature (usually available under the generic Publishing Site); this customization of the Team Site allows using Designer and apply custom templates, themes, so on, just like you would under the Publishing collection, but not the
Snippet utility I could use as the solution to embed the web parts on the master page.
Recreating the entire site under Publishing Collection is not an option due to the directions I was given, I am to use this existing one, and need to see if
there is a workaround to either activate the Snippet feature or use another solution to display the web parts inside of the column in the Master page.
If the only solution is to use Web Part Zone, what are the steps to add it AND populate it with the abovementioned apps?
Can anyone suggest how to create a workaround and add this feature? The environment is role-based so both elements need to be dynamically rendered based on the user’s role and activities.
I am more of a front end designer than developer, so if any custom coding and set up required, please kindly provide some basic steps, if possible?..
I greatly appreciate any help and suggestions!
Thank You!

Updating your Master Page to also include a right rail should be sraight forward enough with a new div or divs in your master page and then the proper styles to make room for this column as well as position the column.
I have not seen why you cannot find the snippet gallery link when previewing a HTML Master Page in the browser. Have you tried loading the snippet gallery by its url? As an example, for my tenant on SPO, I can load the Snippet Gallery for the olso.master
with the following url:
https://pixelmill.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/ComponentConfigureControls.aspx?ComponentName=TopNavigationNoFlyoutWithStartNode&Url=%2F_catalogs%2Fmasterpage%2Foslo.master
Change the domain to match yours as well as update the "Url" querystring var to point to your master page. See if that loads the snippet gallery.

SharePoint 2013 Custom Content Type with Site Column custom validations

Hello,
Can somebody please suggest me how I can create custom content type with site columns with custom validation to site columns programmatically?
Thanks,
Praveen Kumar Padmakaran

Hi,
From your description, my understanding is that you want to create content type with site column with validation.
You could create a site column, and add some validation to the site column. After you could create a custom content type, please add the site column with validation to the content type. Please refer
to this code below:
static void Main(string[] args)
// replace your url
using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://sp/sites/sp2013"))
using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
//define the type of the field
SPFieldType type = SPFieldType.Number;
// create a site column
SPField field = CreateSiteColumn(web, "newTest", type, "");
// add custom formula for the field
SPFieldNumber fieldNumber = web.Fields.GetField("newTest") as SPFieldNumber;
fieldNumber.ValidationFormula = "=[newTest]>5";
fieldNumber.ValidationMessage = ">5";
fieldNumber.Update();
SPContentTypeId parentItemCTypeId = web.ContentTypes[0].Id;
// create custom content type
SPContentType contentType = CreateSiteContentType(web, "newContent", parentItemCTypeId, "Custom Content Types");
// add the site column to the content type
AddFieldToContentType(web, contentType, field);
// add fiedl to contenttype
public static void AddFieldToContentType(SPWeb web, SPContentType contentType, SPField field)
if (contentType == null) return;
if (contentType.Fields.ContainsField(field.Title)) return;
SPFieldLink fieldLink = new SPFieldLink(field);
contentType.FieldLinks.Add(fieldLink);
contentType.Update();
// create a custom content type
public static SPContentType CreateSiteContentType(SPWeb web, string contentTypeName,SPContentTypeId parentItemCTypeId, string group)
if (web.AvailableContentTypes[contentTypeName] == null)
SPContentType itemCType = web.AvailableContentTypes[parentItemCTypeId];
SPContentType contentType =
new SPContentType(itemCType, web.ContentTypes, contentTypeName) { Group = @group };
web.ContentTypes.Add(contentType);
contentType.Update();
return contentType;
return web.ContentTypes[contentTypeName];
// create a site column
public static SPField CreateSiteColumn(SPWeb web, string displayName,SPFieldType fieldType, string groupDescriptor)
if (!web.Fields.ContainsField(displayName))
string fieldName = web.Fields.Add(displayName, fieldType, false);
SPField field = web.Fields.GetFieldByInternalName(fieldName);
field.Group = groupDescriptor;
field.Update();
return field;
return web.Fields[displayName];

[Forum FAQ] SharePoint 2013: Extracting values from a multi-value enabled lookup column and merge values to a multi-value enabled column

For some business requirements, users want to extract values from a multi-value enabled lookup column
and add items to another list based on each separate value. In contrast, others want to find duplicate values in the list and merge associated values to a multi-value enabled column and then
add items to another list based on the merged value. All of these can be achieved using SharePoint Designer 2013 Workflow.
How to extract values from a multi-value enabled lookup column and add items to another list based
on each separate value using SharePoint Designer 2013.
Important actions: Loop Shape; Utility Actions
Three scenarios

How to merge values to a multi-value enabled column and add item to another list based on the
merged value using SharePoint Designer 2013.
Important actions: Call HTTP Web Service; Build Dictionary
Things to note
Steps to create Workflow
How to
extract values from a multi-value enabled lookup column and
add items to another list based on each separate value using SharePoint Designer 2013.
For example, they have three lists as below. They want to
extract values from the Destinations column
in Lookup2 and add items to Lookup3 based on each country and set Title to current item: ID.
Lookup1:
Title (Single line of text)
Lookup2:
Title (Single line of text), Destinations (Lookup; Get information from: Lookup1 in Title column).\
Lookup3:
Title (Single line of text), Country (Single line of text).
Important action
1. Loop Shape: SharePoint Designer 2013 support two types of loops: loop n times and loop with condition.
Loops must also conform to the following rules:
Loops must be within a stage, and stages cannot be within a loop.
Steps may be within a loop.
Loops may have only one entry and one exit point.
2. Utility Actions: It contains many actions, such as ‘Extract Substring from Index of String’ and ‘Find substring in String’.
Three scenarios
We need to loop through the string returned from the look up column and look for commas. There are three
scenarios:
1. No comma but string is non-empty so there is only one country.
2. At least one comma so there is at least two or more countries to loop.
3. In the loop we have consumed all the commas so we have found the last country.
Things to note
There are two things to note:
1. "Find string in string (output to Variable:index)" will return -1 if doesn't find
the searched for string.
2. In the opening statement "Set Variable: Countries to Current Item:Destinations" set the return
field as "Lookup Values, Comma Delimited".
Steps to create Workflow
Create a custom list named Lookup1.
Create a custom list named Lookup2, add column: Destinations (Lookup; Get information from: Lookup1 in Title column).
Create a custom list named Lookup3, add column: Country (Single line of text).
Create a workflow associated to Lookup2.
Add conditions and actions:
Start the workflow automatically when an item is created.
Add item to Lookup2, then workflow will be started automatically and create multiple items to lookup3.
See the below in workflow History List:
How to merge values to a multi-value enabled column and add item to another list based on the
merged value using SharePoint Designer 2013
For example, they have three lists as below. They want to find duplicate values in the Title column in
Lookup3 and merge country column to a multi-value enabled column and then add item to lookup2 and set the Title to Current Item: Title.
Lookup1:
Title (Single line of text)
Lookup3:
Title (Single line of text), Country (Single line of text).
Lookup2:
Title (Single line of text), Test (Single line of text).
Important actions
"Call HTTP Web Service"
action: In SharePoint 2013 workflows, we can call a web service using a new action introduced in SharePoint 2013 named Call HTTP Web Service. This action
is flexible and allows you to make simple calls to a web service easily, or, if needed, you can create more complex calls using HTTP verbs as well as allowing you to add HTTP headers.
“Build Dictionary"
action:
The Dictionary variable type is a new variable type in the SharePoint 2013 Workflow.
The following are the three actions specifically designed for the Dictionary variable type: Build Dictionary, Count Items in a Dictionary and Get an Item from a Dictionary.
The "Call HTTP Web Service" workflow action would be useless without the new "Dictionary" workflow action.
Things to note
The
HTTP URI is set to https://sitename/_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('listname')/items?$orderby=Id%20desc and the HTTP method is set to “GET”. Then the list will be sort by Id in descending order.
Use Get
d/results(0)/Id form
Variable: ResponseContent (Output to
Variable: maxid) to get the Max ID.
Use Set
Variable: minid to Current List:ID to get the Min ID.
Use Copy from
Variable: destianation , starting at
1 (Output to
Variable: destianation) to remove the space.
Steps to create Workflow
Create a custom list named Lookup1.
Create a custom list named Lookup2, add column: Test (Single line of text).
Create a custom list named Lookup3, add column: Country (Single line of text).
Create a workflow associated to Lookup3.
Add a new "Build Dictionary" action
to define the http request header:
Add a Call HTTP Web Serviceaction, click on
this and paste your http request.
To associate the
RequestHeader variable, select the Call action property,
set the
RequestHeaders property to
RequestHeader:
In the Call action, click on
response and associate the response to a new
variable: ResponseContent (of type Dictionary).
After the Call action add Get item from Dictionary action to get the Max ID.
Add Set Workflow Variable action to get the Min ID.
Add Loop Shape (Loop with Condition) to get all the duplicate titles and integrate them to a string.
Create item in Lookup2.
The final Stage should look like this:
Start the workflow automatically when an item is created.
Add item to Lookup3, then workflow will be started automatically and create item to lookup2.
See the below in workflow History List:

GREAT info, but it may be helpful to note that when replacing a portion of the variable "Countries" with a whitespace character, you may cause the workflow to fail in a few specific cases (certain lookup fields will not accept this and will automatically
cancel). I only found this out when recreating your workflow on a similar, but much more complex list set.
To resolve this issue, I used another utility action (Extract Substring from Index of List) to clear out the whitespace. I configured it as "Copy from
Variable: Countries, starting at
1 (Output to Variable: Countries), which takes care of this issue in those few cases.
Otherwise, WOW! AWESOME JOB! Thanks! :)

How to work JQuery and content editor webpart functionality in sharepoint 2013?

Hi all,
I have a requirement to display the list data in share-point page by using JQuery and content editor web-part. could you please any one suggest the process to display the list data using JQuery and ContentEditorWebpart.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
From your description, my understanding is that you want to show a list data in a page using jQuery and Content Query Web Part.
You could use SharePoint REST API to accomplish your requirement, please refer to this code below:
<div id="listData">
</div>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.1.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script><script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
//replace your list title
$.ajax({
url: _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl + "/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('customlist03')/items",
type: "GET",
headers: {"accept": "application/json;odata=verbose"},
success: function (data) {
if (data.d.results) {
var obj = data.d.results;
for(var i = 0; i < obj.length; i++)
$("#listData").append("<div>title "+obj[i].Title+"</div>");
error: function (xhr) {
alert(xhr.status + ': ' + xhr.statusText);
</script>

Hiding a table column and its contents yet reading the values

Hi all,
hope someone can help as i urgently need a solution for this although its probably more of a javascript and html forms question than a JSP - but i couldnt find a good javascript forum - if any one has come across a good JS and HTML - i would appreciate if you would let me have a url for it - in the meantime as i need this urgentely and most JS sites that i have visted and posted on seem to be useless, i havent got a reply back yet , and since i've always found java sun forum good and helpful thought would post it here - hope no one minds it too much . Thanks in advance for any help with resolving my urgent problem.
overview of question:
I need to, using an onclick() event read the contents of the 4th cell in the clicked row and set the value of a hidden element � (not sure what element to use here attribute tag? Or some other - but basically, this needs to also be hidden, as I�m going to use this as one of the parameters to send through as part of the form - )
explanation of question
So when I do :-
<td><netui:label value="{container.item.TELECARERID}"/></td> And using javascript :-
row.cells[4].innerText;I can read the value and print it to screen as :-
alert('row.cells[4].innerText)) = ' + row.cells[4].innerText);although at this stage I�m not sure how to now set this value to an element in the form so that I can include this value as part of the submit action of the form.
However when I do the following, which is closer to what I�m trying to achieve (ie hide the 4th column of the table and its values � but when I just hide the value as in:-
<td><netui:hidden dataInput="{container.item.TELECARERID}" dataSource="" /></td> I can�t use the above (row.cells[4].innerText;), javascript syntax to get to the value although the value is still in the viewsource of the html page.
How can I hide this forth column of the table yet get the values of the 4th column and also set it to some element of the form so that it can be submitted with the date range as part of a criteria to search against by the backend server.
the full code (well... relevant parts)
Here is all the code:
<table id="table1" class="tablebody" border="1">
        <tbody>
         <tr>
           <th><rpb:columnHeader field="FIRSTNAME"><i18n:getMessage messageName="first_name"/></rpb:columnHeader></th>
           <th><rpb:columnHeader field="LASTNAME"><i18n:getMessage messageName="last_name"/></rpb:columnHeader></th>
          <th><rpb:columnHeader field="LOGONNAME"><i18n:getMessage messageName="logon_name"/></rpb:columnHeader></th>
          <th><rpb:columnHeader field="TEAM"><i18n:getMessage messageName="team"/></rpb:columnHeader></th>
           <th><rpb:columnHeader field="TELECARERID"><i18n:getMessage messageName="telecarer_id"/></rpb:columnHeader></th>
        </tr>
       </netui-data:repeaterHeader>
       <netui-data:repeaterItem>
        <tr bgcolor="#FFFFFF" onMouseOver="this.bgColor='gold';" onMouseOut="this.bgColor='#FFFFFF';" onclick="selectTeleCarer(this)">
        <td><netui:label value="{container.item.FIRSTNAME}"/></td>
          <td><netui:label value="{container.item.LASTNAME}"/></td>
         <td><netui:label value="{container.item.LOGONNAME}"/></td>
       <td><netui:label value="{container.item.TEAM}"/></td>
        <td><netui:label value="{container.item.TELECARERID}"/></td>
       </tr>
      </tbody>///////and then I�m trying to using the below sepertaely printed javascript set it to the below hidden attribute so that it can be submitted as part of the form
<netui:hidden tagId="teleCarerId" dataSource="{actionForm.teleCarerId}" dataInput=""/>
                             <div>
                         <i18n:getMessage messageName="created_between"/>
                            <netui:textBox tagId="data" dataSource="{actionForm.fromDate}"/>
                            <button id="trigger" onclick="jscalendar/calendar.js">...</button>
                           <i18n:getMessage messageName="and"/>
                            <netui:textBox tagId="data1" dataSource="{actionForm.toDate}"/>
                            <button id="trigger2" onclick="jscalendar/calendar.js">...</button>
                        </div>
                <br />
                <netui:button value="Submit" type="submit"/>
            </netui:form>/// the java script is :-
function selectTeleCarer(row)
    if ( row.style ) {
row.style.backgroundColor = ('gold' == row.style.backgroundColor)?
'white' : 'gold';
//document.form.teleCarerId.value = row.cells[4].innerText;
alert('row.cells[4].innerText)) = ' + row.cells[4].innerText);
}

thanks for the reply,
but i cant use just html like <input type hidden > as i'm using the struts like framework with the netui tags in weblogic where i need to link the tag value to the form bean to be passed to the server . thus i need to use the netui tag , which doesnt have a name but a tagId instead, so i'm using it like this :
<netui:hidden tagId="teleCarerId" dataSource="{actionForm.teleCarerId}" dataInput=""/>and then in javascrpit doing:
//document.form.teleCarerId.value = row.cells[4].innerText;but thats not my problem ()as it probably will work and its only an issue after i resolve the first part of my question:-
which is how do i hide a cloumn in a table and its values so that when the user selects a row i can pass the hidden value of row as part of my form .
as i mentioned before when i make the cloumn visible as in
<th><rpb:columnHeader field="TELECARERID"><i18n:getMessage messageName="telecarer_id"/></rpb:columnHeader></th>and give it a visible value:
<td><netui:label value="{container.item.TELECARERID}"/></td>
       </tr>i can pick up the value fine using the javascript syntax:
row.cells[4].innerText;however when i hide only the value - which is only part of what i want to do as i want to also hide the column heading so that this part of the table isnt seen- as in:-
<td><netui:hidden dataInput="{container.item.TELECARERID}" dataSource="" /></td>then i cant use
row.cells[4].innerText;to pick up the value although it does hide the value and in viewsourec the value is there - is there some other syntax that i should be using here - and also how can i hide the cloumn heading so that the table looks asthtically good on the browser?
ie. what should i change this line of code to?
<th><rpb:columnHeader field="TELECARERID"><i18n:getMessage messageName="telecarer_id"/></rpb:columnHeader></th>thanks in advance for any help.
