@Alejandro – I have not tried it in 2010 yet. If the links are wrong check lines 46 and 49 of the xsl style sheet and be sure your list is setup using the right column types.

@Ricardo – As soon as I get a chance to try this in 2010 ill update this post.

@Aritra I have not tried it in 2010 but it should work exactly the same in 2010.

Hi Dave,

Can you please let us know, if this works for SharePoint 2010 as well ?

Also, if you could share the code (Export) for your webpart that would greatly help me

Thanks.

@RS this seems like it may be an issue with the JavaScript not working properly. Make sure the elements in your XSL have the right class names and that the script files are linked properly.

Hi Dave
I have implemented this without much drama, love it! The only thing that is occuring is when I use the next or previous buttons on the page the refresh isn’t instant and I get 2 of the list items on the page at once. Currently viewing in IE6 and IE7 and behaviour is in both browsers.
Thanks.

@DD in the list there is a choice column called “Style” where you can choose a style. In the XSL I apply the name of whatever style was chosen to a div tag. The style names cannot have spaces. In the CSS I just apply different styles to the classes (Green_Style Red_Style, etc.) Hope this helps.

I am a little confused on the style part of it. How do you make a choice field to pick a different style in the XLS?

@Mnabi Try putting the link to the script in the master page just to be sure it is working properly. Also make sure the JavaScript in the XSL is not getting stripped out because some times SharePoint Designer will remove it.

@ Zac, I started with a single item view.

Dave -

So far I have been unable to get this to work. When I create the data view, should I be creating a single or multiple item view? I am getting the list items to display, but it still looks like a regular multiple item view. Any thoughts? This looks like a great solution!

Thanks,

Zac
