I have received a lot of positive feedback on my method “using calculated columns to write HTML”, so I have decided to continue the series and propose more formulas.
To simplify, from now on I am going to use the term “HTML calculated column” to refer to this method. I have created a specific category for this topic:
https://pathtosharepoint.wordpress.com/category/the-html-calculated-column/

The next example will be about using HTML events. I’d also like to extend this to make it work with scripts, but it is more difficult. In particular it involves security issues (allow an inserted script to run on the page), and cross-browser support.

In addition to my posts, you can check out Ben Bradley’s post here. He proposes an adaptation to make the method work in calendar views.

If you have an example to share, feel free to send it to me and I’ll be happy to publish it!
