I was trying to edit the New Item Form in SharePoint and something went wrong (i.e. I made a mistake). Now, when I click the New Item button, the form no longer opens. When I open the list in Infopath Designer (which I only just learned about while trying to fix this) I can see the form, so it's not lost. It's just that the link is broken. We are using the 365 Cloud version of SharePoint. Any ideas on how to fix this f_up? THANKS FOR ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE!
Do other browsers have this problem?
Try switching the page to the default SharePoint form in the Form Settings.Then clear your browser cache and refresh the page to see if that works.
You can create a new list view that looks exactly like this one, set it as the default, and see if the new view has this problem.

Im new to SharePoint and have been asked to update some text on a form in SharePoint. I can’t figure out how to select and make the changes. When I select the web part that contains the form textboxes, buttons etc, there does not seem to be a way to select and edit the text. Anyone have any suggestions as to what I should try?
You can connect to your SharePoint site using SharePoint designer and do all the customization needed there.
Or you can add a content editor web part and inside its content just add a <script> tag and add some JavaScript that get the label you want to change and edit its content
I'm using Sharepoint 2010 foundation. We have a list available on the site that we use to manage work items. Normally, the options to view detailed list content are "View Item" and "Edit Item". It looks like someone accidentally deleted the list view for the "view item" page, so that when anyone opens an item, all they see is the list item title and a big blank box in the middle. Does anyone know how to restore the list view for a single list item so that we can view the item contents?
Alright; if your form was a non modified-form without further extensions or modifications you have only a few clicks ahead of you, otherwise: you better have a backup.
Disclaimer: I am using the german version of SPD, but the controls are at the same positions as in the English version. See screenshots for clarifications
Open up SharePoint Designer 2010
Open your SP Site
Open the list in question
Click on "new" (see Screenshot below)
Fill out the form (Enter name, check form to view, and default form)
Boom - you're good to go again. Save it.

I have create a custom field that inherits from SPFieldUser. Everything works fine on the site and the value displays fine in InfoPath as long as I am either in preview mode or select Edit In InfoPath. As soon as I view the form in the browser the field's value no longer displays. Has anyone seen anything like this before?
Thanks,
I might be wrong but that kinda makes sense to me, If editing a publishing page in SharePoint, the owner field for example is metadata on the page and can be filled in edit mode but when in display mode this metadata is not shown unless I explicitly show it. The fields shown in edit mode and display mode are different for pages and I am assuming the same for InfoPath forms.
I created a WebPart,and it works in SharePoint 2007,I can edit or delete it.But the menu of this WebPart does't work in SharePoint 2010,when I click the menu,it shows nothing.I can't delete or edit it.
The error message is "The value of the property 'UpdateWebPartMenuFocus' is null or undefined, not a Function object",which points to:
UpdateWebPartMenuFocus(this, 'ms-wpselectlinkfocus', 'ms-WPEditTextVisible')
So I want to know the probable reasons for this problem,or any mistake I may have made with my codes.
Thanks!
The method UpdateWebPartMenuainFocus is defined in Core.js.
You need a reference to Core.js, either from your page or from a master page that your page uses.
In SharePoint, it is easy to set up a List webpart consisting of Links to other documents, folders, sites, etc. Unfortunately, when clicking these links, the default behavior is for the page to open in the current browser window. That is, it does NOT open the page in a new instance of the browser. This has proven annoying for a number of the users on my site.
Does anyone know of a way to have the default behavior be to open in a NEW browser window?
I'm hoping this is something that can be set in SharePoint rather than having users need to adjust some sort of setting in their browser.
It is not possible with the default Link List web part, but there are resources describing how to extend Sharepoint server-side to add this functionality.
Share Point Links Open in New Window
Changing Link Lists in Sharepoint 2007
You can edit the page in SharePoint designer, convert the List View web part to an XSLT Data View. (by right click + "Convert to XSLT Data View").
Then you can edit the XSLT - find the A tag and add an attribute target="_blank"
The same instance for SP2010; the Links List webpart will not automatically open in a new window, rather user must manually rt click Link object and select Open in New Window.
The add/ insert Link option withkin SP2010 will allow a user to manually configure the link to open in a new window.
Maybe SP2012 release will adrress this...
Under the Links Tab ==> Edit the URL Item ==> Under the URL (Type the Web address)- format the value as follows:
Example:
if the URL = http://www.abc.com ==> then suffix the value with ==>
#openinnewwindow/,'" target="http://www.abc.com'
SO, the final value should read as ==>
http://www.abc.com#openinnewwindow/,'" target="http://www.abc.com'
DONE ==> this will open the URL in New Window
