Client Side Rendering (CSR) and jslink are great for customizing lists and forms in SharePoint. In my current project we use it a lot of it. A disadvantage of that path, although, is that it might occur javascript errors, during the development phase, but also in production. We do, of course, our best to leverage the best jslink code, but unfortunately we have to live with the fact that errors can occur, especially when we use it for NewForm, EditForm, DisplayForm and View (in list and grid).

Recently I needed to create valid urls for pages using javascript. Also this time I thought it must be some out-of-the-box code for that in SharePoint. The first thing I came up was the “Add page” dialog. I found that the actual dialog was in the _layouts virtual folder: /\_layouts/15/CreatePublishingPageDialog.aspx ```Bingo, it does the validation in the client side. This is the responsible javascript function that resides directly in the page: \[sourcecode language="javascript"\] function UpdateUrl() { LoadTermContextInfo(); var hiddenPageUrlLabelExtensionClientId = "<%=hiddenPageUrlLabelExtension.

If you want to add some parameters to an url which you want to open, you can use jQuery.param function: var url = "some\_url"; var params = { name: "Setner", email: "setner@narspi.name", mobile: "123456789" }; var search = "?" + $.param(p); url += search; ```It is handy, indeed. In an environment without jQuery (are there some?:) ) you can just iterate an object and join properties: var url = “some_url”; var params = { name: “Setner”, email: “setner@narspi.
