Currently working with dropdown column in the moss 2007.
my question is
I created dropdown column in a list, it has 3 options. Suppose if option1 is selected then the new field (let say a text box) should pop up, if option2 is selected the another new field (say a dropdown should pop up) and similarly for option3. How to make these things show up when certain option in drop down selected? should I need to code for it? Educate me! Article would be a great help.
P.S->> Our organisation isn't so keen in working with infopath, infopath is out of option. Can I code in sharepoint designer itself???
This isn't possible using only SharePoint out-of-the-box (OOTB). It would require building a custom solution. You would need to create a custom field for each option, that checks the value of the choice field and determines whether to hide itself based on that.

I have a Sharepoint list with a "Choice" with "Can add values manually" checked.
How do i make a manually added value in a choice column persist so that is available when adding and editing other records?
I created new list on my Office365 SharePoint site. When in classic mode, manually entered values are not available while editing/creating new list items regardless the choices are displayed in a dropdown, radio buttons or as multi select checkboxes. When switching from classic to modern SharePoint experience, manually entered values are available while editing/adding list items. Hope this helps.
I want to be able to filter a SharePoint list based on the values present (easy by clicking the filter button at the top of the list for each column). However I'd like to give options in a drop down menu and once chosen the list would be refilted based on the options I give. Is this possibile to do in the browser or would it require designer or actual code? Thank you.
This is all SharePoint 2010 Enterprise Server knowledge; I've never used 2007.
What #Ryan is alluding to here is that you can click a down-arrow on most list columns to filter them. One caveat is that if the column is multi-select, it won't display a drop-down. (SharePoint doesn't know how to group, filter, or sort on multi-select columns.) Another caveat could be that if you're displaying the list items in such a way that their headings don't appear (such as in a List View web part, or maybe in some of the styles...) you obviously won't be able to filter.
A solution might be to use a "SharePoint List Filter" web part, which uses a list column as the source for filter values which can then be sent to other web parts -- such as a List View web part. Presumably, you could use the list you're intending to filter as a source for the Filter web part itself. From a UX perspective maybe this might help you display the list with different styling, but still get the drop-down filter directly in the content area.
A caveat with the "SharePoint List Filter" web part is that it's not actually a drop-down per se, but instead shows a little filter icon that pops up a dialog in which users then have to select a value.
Note there's also the "Managed Metadata Navigation" feature that would give users dropdowns (for e.g. choice columns) and metadata filter fields (for managed metadata columns). These show up in the Quick Launch (left-nav area) if configured on the list/library settings. The feature must first be enabled on the site.
Can any one tell me that, Is is possible in wss to have our custom column in a view of list. The way how we are adding edit and delete column in asp.net grid by setting autogenerateedit button property to true. I have to write my custom login on click event of that button. This action is going to be common for all list items.
Thanks

I am afraid that it is not possible out of the Box in SharePoint (WSS / MOSS). If you want to have such an option, you might need to create a Separate page that will have code to do the opertion. Try out the SPGridView and SPDataSource.
Else I would suggest (Recommend) you to have a look at the DataSheetView option provided by the List, it will list List item details as all editable format, like Excel sheet.
There was a similar question asked but it wasn't exactly what I am trying to do.
Here is a link to the question: Auto Number Column in SharePoint List with Link to Item
Two solutons were offered to that question.
Could either of these solutions work for an imported list I have where Sharepoint has decided which column links to the item with edit menu? I want to change which column does this as I need to change the format and this means removing the column that has defaulted to being the link to item with edit menu.
You cannot dynamically change the menu column OOTB in SharePoint. To "move" the menu to a different column, you should create a new computed column and wrap the rendering (DisplayPattern) with the _EditMenuTableStart and _EditMenuTableEnd fields.
To see an example of how to do this, take a look at the "AddMenuColumn" PowerShell script from the iLoveSharePoint project on CodePlex. The script is pretty straightforward, so you should be able to translate it into code if you need that (or add declarative using features).
You could also just use the script as it is, to add the new menu column to your list.
How does one verify a text field with another list's column? I am currently populating a Drop down list with a datasource and then comparing the text field with items in the dropdown using javascript. Is there a better way?
The second problem I am having is how to trigger the Validate Function.
I am aware of two custom forms for adding data to a sharepoint list. One is created using The Dataview Webpart in Sharepoint Designer and the other is created using the List Form Webpart in Sharepoint Designer.
I have a DataFormWebPart I created using Sharepoint Designer Insert Dataview ->Insert Selected Fields as New Item Form. This gives Save and Cancel buttons at the end of the form. How do I intercept the Save button event?
I found one solution but it only works with the NewForm page that has OK Cancel Buttons. http://www.codeproject.com/KB/sharepoint/Control_validation.aspx
You'll have to use an event handler if you want to validate the state of multiple fields. You can use the ItemAdding/ItemUpdating events if you want to cancel an item which is being added/updated.
properties.Cancle = true;
properties.ErrorMessage = "Your validation message.";

can you add query strings into the formula box for validation?
e.g. like this:
^[a-zA-Z]{2}[0-9]{6}[A-Za-z]{1}$
which validates against a national insurance number.
sharepoint says the column must = true,
so could I enter something like
[column name] = ^[a-zA-Z]{2}[0-9]{6}[A-Za-z]{1}$
I think you are trying to build a tool like this one called SharePoint Form Validation.
If so, take a look at this blog: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepointtechnology/HA101054791033.aspx?pid=CH100650061033
Hope this helps!
