The HTML Calculated Field • Is a Standard OTB Calculated Field • Comes with both WSS 3 & MOSS • Requires No Installation (Great for Hosting) • So… How do you use it?
The HTML Calculated Field • Use it to “Build” Conditional HTML Strings • You can set conditions based on: • Status • Numbers • Percentages • Dates • …Essentially anything you can test for, you can build a HTML Calculated Value to represent it. • Problem is, the HTML gets parsed and rendered as text, Right? Yes… until you add this bit of JavaScript!
The HTML Calculated Field • <script type="text/javascript"> • /* • Text to HTML - version 2.0 • Questions and comments: Christophe@PathToSharePoint.com • */ • function TextToHTML(NodeSet, HTMLregexp) { • var CellContent = ""; • var i=0; • while (i < NodeSet.length){ • try { • CellContent = NodeSet[i].innerText || NodeSet[i].textContent; • if (HTMLregexp.test(CellContent)) {NodeSet[i].innerHTML = CellContent;} • } • catch(err){} • i=i+1; • } • } • // Calendar views • var regexpA = new RegExp("\\s*<([a-zA-Z]*)(.|\\s)*/\\1?>\\s*$"); • TextToHTML(document.getElementsByTagName("a"),regexpA); • // List views • var regexpTD = new RegExp("^\\s*<([a-zA-Z]*)(.|\\s)*/\\1?>\\s*$"); • TextToHTML(document.getElementsByTagName("TD"),regexpTD); • // Grouped list views • ExpGroupRenderData = (function (old) { • return function (htmlToRender, groupName, isLoaded) { • var result = old(htmlToRender, groupName, isLoaded); • var regexpTD = new RegExp("^\\s*<([a-zA-Z]*)(.|\\s)*/\\1?>\\s*$"); • TextToHTML(document.getElementsByTagName("TD"),regexpTD); • }; • } • )(ExpGroupRenderData); • </script>
