Set dropdownlist on an infopath form with jquery

Hello ,
How to set infopaht dropdownlist value client side using jquery ? my field is a lookup field.
Thanks

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to set infopaht dropdownlist value.
I recommend to the Out-Of-Box method to set default value.
You can select the lookup filed and set the Defaut value directly.
You can also add Form Load Rule to set the value.
In addition, you can use an XPath filter expression to set the value of the drop-down list box to be equal to the value of the second item in the secondary data source.
For more information, you can refer to:
Display the first item in a drop-down list box in InfoPath 2010

Is possible to take the Infopath form with two repeat section in one SharePoint list

Is possible to take the Infopath form with two repeat section in one Sharepoint list
Take two repeat section and put them one bellow to other one in a SP list.
The motive is that the first repeat section is based in account own by the requestor and the second repeat section is when the requestor is doing backup time for some one else where need to log the amount of time that spend in the peer account.
I have basic logic in the form when requestor said Are you doing backup for some else? and press YES it is be able to use the second repeat section.

How to validate input fields as the user is filling up a form with jQuery?

Hello EA friends.
Someone has experimented on how to validate input fields as the user is filling up a form with jQuery?, if the field is numeric and insert an A for example, an alert appears showing "insert a number" or not allowed to enter anything until a number is entered.
Thanks and regards.

Infopath form with workflow should be created in unique subsite?

I need to create several InfoPath forms with workflows. Should I use different subsite for each form and workflow. Or I can put them in one subsite? If I put them in one subsite, any concern of workflow interference?
Thanks.

You do not have to use a separate site for each form and workflow. It can be done on the same site. Even though you can publish multiple forms to the same InfoPath form library, I would recommend that you simply create a separate library for
each form and workflow combination you intend to have.
There should be no interference between the forms and workflows.
I trust that answers your question...
Thanks

Unable to open InfoPath forms with large attachments in browser

We have been running a infopath solution on SharePoint 2010 for a couple of years now. The form is rendered in the browser, but when the attachments are large in size (seems like a ~10MB limit for the form), the system would not allow the user to edit the
form in the browser. Instead the browser pops up with a dialog say: "What to you want to do with [FILENAME].xml? Open | Save | Save as.
Forms less than 10MB renders perfectly in the browser
Are anyone able to clarify what is going on and how we can fix it?

Hi Allen,
According to your description, my understanding is that you could not edit the form when the attachment was more than 10MB in SharePoint 2010.
Please go to Central Administration > General Application Settings > Configure InfoPath Forms Services , in the user session section, increase the "Maximum size of user session data" to the size that you want, compare the result.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
Wendy

General search form with JQuery not working

Hi,
I tried to use jquery to submit a search form because I need some checking before submit. However, it did not go to search results page, but went to home page instead.
Here is my html:
<form name="catsearchform96767" id="generalSearchForm" method="post">
    <p><label style="opacity: 1;" for="f-search">Search</label> <input type="text" name="CAT_Search" id="f-search" /> <button type="submit">GO</button></p>
</form>
Javascript:
$('#generalSearchForm').submit(function(){
     $(this).attr('action', '/Default.aspx?SiteSearchID=1060&ID=/search-results');
     $(this).unbind().submit();
     return false;
It does not work with JQuery. But when I moved form action url from jquery to html, it worked. Any ideas? Cheers.

Hi David,
Below is the complete code I have used to load the current user to the people picker in SharePoint 2013.
$(document).ready(function(){
SP.SOD.executeFunc('sp.js', 'SP.ClientContext', LoadCurrentUser);
function LoadCurrentUser() {
var context = SP.ClientContext.get_current();
var siteColl = context.get_site();
var web = siteColl.get_rootWeb();
this._currentUser = web.get_currentUser();
context.load(this._currentUser);
context.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, SetPickersToCurrentUser), Function.createDelegate(this, LoadUserfailed));
function LoadUserfailed() {
alert('failed');
function SetPickersToCurrentUser()
var loginName = this._currentUser.get_title();
SetPeoplePicker('Order Team', loginName);
function SetPeoplePicker(fieldName, userAccountName) {
var peoplePickerDiv = $("[id$='ClientPeoplePicker'][title='" + fieldName + "']");
var peoplePickerEditor = peoplePickerDiv.find("[title='" + fieldName + "']");
var spPeoplePicker = SPClientPeoplePicker.SPClientPeoplePickerDict[peoplePickerDiv[0].id];
peoplePickerEditor.val(userAccountName);
spPeoplePicker.AddUnresolvedUserFromEditor(true);

How to Embed HTML into a Infopath form with out using the custom code???

Hi ,
This my first post in MSDN, so kindly ignore if there is any faults/mistakes.
scenario:
I am updating a HyperLink(url) to an infopath Field (Such as Rich text box /Label) from a third party workflow(Nintex),it is not able to embed the html data .is it possible to embed html controls like <a> and <Br> tags in the infopath form?????

The InfoPath form can be configured to export some of the fields as columns... by doing so, the workflow can simply update the list item's metadata, and the value is pushed into the InfoPath form data.

Integrate Infopath form with Microsoft Excel

Hi. I have a problem to insert data from Infopath form into Excel. I had try to use web part, which is, I insert Infopath form and Excel as webpart in one page and make data connections between them.
By using this way the data has inserted into Excel web part, however, I have problem when I want to edit it back. I only can save the Infopath form, but not the Excel file. It is difficult for the user to edit the data back. Thus, my question is, how to insert
data into Excel using Infopath form, according to their field? and also, is there any other ways for me to insert data into Excel using Infopath form? Maybe using any programming language but I need step by step to do it. I have to insert it into Excel because
my client want the data will be print out in Excel table view. Thank you for your feedback and I really appreciate it.

answered basically the same question here : http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepointcustomization/thread/9a391d66-6f2f-41c2-ad22-0ddc57c0919e/#9a901829-12e3-4997-9e9f-3a05affc186a
long story short, don't.
Enter the data into SP List (IP is dead, so that wouldn't be MY recommended approach). Export SP List to Excel.

Azuaniza Ariffin

Hi,
I saw a similar post by you on this forum, and to achieve the functionality you can try using InfoPath Form or JQuery with SPService to make part of the Form as Readonly. and in conjunction use SharePoint designer to create a workflow to assign task or send
email to user B.

Can I copy a form with spry text fields?

I have two forms that are almost identical with the exception of a few fields. Instead of completely redoing the 2nd form I would like to just save the document in dreamweaver with a new name and change/add the fields I need. I've used spry text fields though. Will I have any issues with just copying and then changing this form as far as the spry files are concerned or am I just better off creating a whole new form?

Keep in mind that form field names need to exactly match your form-processing script.
Spry was abandoned by Adobe in late 2012. Since I don't use Spry for anything, I can't honestly say if the form validation will continue to work or not. I much prefer the ease of HTML5 form validation alone or with jQuery for older browsers.

So my answer is rebuild with HTML5 forms.

Infopath form in Outlook

Hi,
Is there anyway to show infopath with submit button in outlook email?
If user opens up email, they should see infopath form with submit button and if they click button they data should be stored back to sharepoint library.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
AA.

Even if this were possible, I still think you would have to provide some credentials to submit back to the library. Why not just include a link with the specific form needing submission?
The way you could do this would be to create a workflow in SP Designer on the library. Once a item is submitted, send email with a link like:
http://yoursite.com/_layouts/FormServer.aspx?XmlLocation=/form/[%CurrentItem:Name%].xml&ClientInstalled=false&Source=http://yoursite/form/Forms.AllItems.aspx&DefaultItemOpen=1
That way once they click the link they will be directed to the exact form needing to be submitted.
Here is a full guide on how to do this.

Can't style forms with CSS in DWCS6 / Need to add WYSIWYG menu

Hello everyone,
i put both my "problems" in a single topic:
1) I was trying to add some style to my pages with forms in them, but it seems it doesn't work so well.... i explain: i create a php page, i insert a form with text fields (username and password, for example) and the "login" button. The form ID is "LogForm". I create a CSS class, called ".FormCSS" and inside i put the rule "align text: right". I apply the rule to the form and all the text inside goes to the right. I try online (real server and local server, i tried both) but nothing happens, the elements of the form stay on the left. I tried to apply the rul to the ID of the form. Nothing.
Probably i'm doing something wrong. Even with text and tables inside the form, i can't move/modify them, at all. In design view i see all the changes, online i can't (chrome and IE). What do i have to do?
2) I'm creating a page to insert long text in a database, like when you post in a forum. I'd like to insert a sort of toolbar with the align options, style, and so on, like the WYSIWYG editors. Is it possibile? Is there a way to put a toolbar like that in DWCS6?
Thanks

#1 You're not styling the correct form selectors: form, fieldset, lable label, input, textarea...

In Infopath forms, is GetUserProfileByName not an option when anonymous access is enabled on the server?

Hi,
How can you populate an Infopath form with values from the SOAP web service GetUserProfileByName operation when anonymous access is (and has to be) enabled on the server?
Looks like the facility is redundant when this is the case?

Hope this post helps

Create Infopath forms for Renewals, Inactivation and ReHire

Hi All,
I need suggestions on the approach i should follow for the following requirement: I'm helping HR develop a hiring database. I can use Infopath 2010, SPD 2010 and OOTB features only with minimal JScript. HR will initiate a contractor hire request. This will
go through an approval workflow. Till here it is fine as its basic.
Inactivation: At any point of time they can Inactivate the contract. They need to populate the details like why they are inactivating and others. This is part of the same Infopath form with a different view for Inactivation.
Renewal: Near the end date of the contract, HR should be notified to Renew the contract which i have achieved by adding Retention stage and initiating a workflow. There will be multiple renewals for the same contractor.
Re-hire: If a contractor has been inactivated, he can be re-hired. This should allow HR to create a form and send for approvals again, similar to Hiring process.
My issue: How do I link multiple renewals in the same Infopath form? I tried utilizing Content Types for various scenarios, but I do not have a way to link these. If Renewal is a different content type than main request, then I need to automatically
populate field from the main request form onto the Renewal content type form. The ID of this form will be different from the main request. Even if i'm able to do this for first Renewal, how to accomplish when second Renewal comes up? For Re-hire, if it is
a separate content type, then again, how do I link it to the main request?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Regards, Kapil ***Please mark answer as Helpful or Answered after consideration***

Content types are overcomplicating this. Use a single content type and multiple views: Initiated, Active, Inactive.
Id do all of the state changes through workflows. That way you can have a 'De-activate' workflow that prompts your HR team for the details needed, a 'Renewal' workflow which you've already got, a 'Re-hire' workflow to capture the new data etc.
To make it a little more pleasant to use you can create custom actions to add the workflows to the edit menu so it's nice and easy to get to for your users.
