Edit HTML, CSS, and JavaScript Files in the Cloud using OneDrive with IntelliSense

As I was swapping in some Web design files to OneDrive, I clicked and opened a file to find that it went straight into an edit mode. Curious to see if I could truly edit the file, I found that not only could I edit it, but it included IntelliSense! This replaced the need to have Visual Studio installed on my machine for some of my code needs.

While I couldn’t preview the changes from OneDrive, it is easy enough to download the directory to a desktop or other preferred location and click on the “Index” or home file to start browsing through the Web site.

See an example of the edit view below:

The Budget Calculator: Responsive Web Design Example

While The Budget Calculator offers a “Free Budget Calculator to get control of your spending and start planning for the future today”, it gave me an excuse to play with Bootstrap 3 with a focus on aligning inputs responsively. Specifically the Grid System employed by Bootstrap provides greater stability/flexibility versus traditional percentage based responsive site design. As far as dealing with inputs, there are a lot of styling options which I encourage others to evaluate first before pursuing your own customizations. Per the core Bootstrap CSS, I kept it intact and used a second file for non-Bootstrap customizations.

Switch SharePoint 2013 Page Language to User Preferred Language using JavaScript/jQuery

When users set their language preferences within their My Site, many expect translation to occur across all of SharePoint. The reality is that this will change certain aspects of SharePoint, but not page text or content within custom Web Parts. While the multi-lingual aspects of SharePoint 2013 are robust (variations, machine translation, etc.), there is a …

Windows 8.1 App – jQuery Version 2.1.0 causing HTML1701: Unable to add dynamic content errors

If you are developing Windows 8.1 Apps, it appears an issue with jQuery version 2.1.0 causes “HTML1701: Unable to add dynamic content…” errors. This occurs even if jQuery code is not in use, but merely the link to jQuery is included in your code. Switching to jQuery 2.0.2 resolved the issue for me. The errors were …

jQuery in SharePoint 2013 Script Editor Web Part not Executing when Minimal Download Strategy (MDS) Enabled

A word of warning. If you have the Minimal Download Strategy (MDS) feature activated in your SharePoint 2013 site, you may have challenges executing jQuery from a Script Editor Web Part or in page code placement.

jQuery that is on page load seems to function, but if you try to execute from a button or click event, it will not execute and leave you with an undefined error tied to the function you attempted to execute. This may be due to the call to execute not being cached, while on page load jQuery events are. If this affects you, there are 2 1/2 options as follows:

1) Disable MDS and lose the benefits of caching

2) Edit the master page to include the jQuery references as listed in this post: http://www.gsoft.com/en/blog/sharepoint-2013-developing-with-the-new-mds-feature

2 1/2) Hope that Microsoft addresses this limitation with a hotfix or Cumulative Update

UPDATE: Previously, wrapping code in $(document).ready(function () { }); was not working, but appears to be functional now when using jQuery 2x. Please test!
