jQuery with CRM 4.0

I’m currently working on a project where we apply extensive jQuery to CRM 4.0. Our client requires a lot of UI-specific validations and business logic, mostly required on the front-end. Being a web developer I always try to shy away from traditional JavaScript when it comes to client-side programming.


Using jQuery makes life a whole lot easier in general and more so in CRM 4.0 considering the fact that you constantly need to manipulate the DOM to perform client-side tasks. Most of the simple tasks can be achieved by one line of code saving a lot of development time and improving overall productivty of the development team.


I strongly suggest that every development team working with CRM 4.0 invest in something like jQuery.

Special characters in XSLT

Every now and then I find myself on google searching how to use special characters like ‘&laquo’, ‘&raquo’ etc. even though I’ve used is so many times before.


So I decided do make a note of it here for future reference.


To include special characters in XSL / XSLT enclose the characters in a CDATA elements for example:


<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">
   <![CDATA[&amp;amp;laquo;]]>
</xsl:text>



So simple, but yet again so easy to forget.
