JavaScript multi-line string hack - a nifty JavaScript and CSS trick

JavaScript is the new black and each and everyone has re-discovered JavaScript and it’s inevitable not to have JavaScript as one of your tools. Especially if you’re working with SharePoint, Office or Office 365 Apps or Add-Ins. In this short post I’m just documenting and sharing a small and nifty JavaScript hack that is very handy when you’re doing for instance JavaScript injection, one of the most popular customization patterns for Office 365 and SharePoint Online at the moment.

Hello everyone and hope you’re not reading this, it’s summer time and great weather, except in Sweden of course.

Last week I complained about Microsoft changing URL’s to the roadmap site - they are now fixed ;-) Changes 2015-07-09 This are the changes I’ve noticed since the 26th of June including my take on the additions and changes.

Some interesting summer news on the Office Roadmap this week. But first of all something that is not very cool at all; the Office roadmap URL has changed. I’ve used and linked to http://success.office.com/roadmap/, http://office.com/roadmap and http://success.office.com/roadmap/en-us but the only one that is working right now is http://success.office.com/en-us/roadmap/. Booh! Thou shalt not change URL’s without redirects… Changes 2015-06-26 This is the detected changes in the Roadmap. If you use the newly released feature on the Roadmap that shows the Recently Updated Features, you will see that it states about 50 changed features, since we don’t know their “algorithm” behind the feature, just ignore it and keep reading…

No updates to the Office Roadmap today! But - a new huge feature to the actual Roadmap page that might make these posts obsolete A new button has been added to the Roadmap page, called “Show only recently updated features”: Once you toggle the button it will show you only what has been updated since sometime (this is not specifically clear at the moment). Currently it only shows the last update from last week.

Summer is almost here, and I’m currently in the air over Hungary after a short but great weekend in Budapest. And the Office team in Redmond and all around the world keeps on pumping out updates. This is the summary of what has changed since the last update in May. If you’re into compliance or a Vision fans, there’s a great amount of new stuff added to the In Development category.

SharePoint Team Sites are dead!

SharePoint Team Sites are dead, there you have it! The era when SharePoint Team Sites was the king of SharePoint and web based collaboration are over. SharePoint Team Sites are dead, I said it again. Ok, you might think this is a link bait, a scam or something else - it’s not. This is how I foresee the future of online collaboration in SharePoint Online/Office 365. Team Sites are based on a decade old construct in SharePoint.
