Can this script be used to pre populate a table structure, say with 2 rows and 2 columns in a rich text box?

Terrific piece of work Paul.

In the case of the People Picker, is it possible in the script to simulate a crtl-K keypress following the population of the text box in order to execue the check name ?

This is a great little script that has much possibility for extension. I used this as a base to dynamically capture form values of OTB Fields and custom fields with very uniqe rendering templates! Great job

I did see that, but I can’t get it working. At least I’ve been pointed in the right direction. Thank you.

@Mike O,

The problem comes from IE (only) switching between SELECT and INPUT tags after the 20-item mark. You should probably move to the more tested code at spff.codeplex.com and see if you still have problems.

Ok here is some more insight. After more than 20 values were loaded into the list that the lookup pulls from, it started working correctly. Help!

Hi,
Your script was a lifesaver in a few solutions I created, although I’m having a bit of a crisis with my latest implimentation of your script. I’m passing a text value of a lookup field. We found with some of the selections it does’t set the field correctly. The choices are two digit values. There are some selections where you put say “55″ in the url and it loads “43″. I would be greatful if you can offer any insight. About 70% of the the choices work, others set the wrong value.

Thank you Paul… your reply sort of left me saying “huh?” so I’ll just leave it as-is. :-)

Nancy,

I don’t think this will help you. This is more for creating (usually dynamically) a link to a form with a query string that will pre-populate certain fields. What you should probably do instead is create a script that sees the onchange event of the uploaded document’s form field then fires the script that selects an appropriate lookup ID from and selects it.

Hopefully someone is still monitoring these comments…

Will this script help in the following scenario?

List A has an associated Library B containing supporting documentation to the items in List A.

When a document is loaded, users must choose the name of the associated item in List A via lookup before the document can be saved. This is a long lookup list. I would like to be able to have this field automatically pull in the correct Item Name from List A.

In my data view of the List, if I place an “Upload a Document” link in the same row, can I use a query string to pass the Item Name somehow so that once the user chooses a document to upload, it will match it to the right list item automatically? Then they won’t have to search the drop-down (and possibly select the wrong thing.
