Thanks for any feedback. ...
Our Sharepoint site functions as a sort of document library, with users able to browse but not edit any document added. What would be really useful is if users were able to individually mark as a document as their "favorite" and then have a list somewhere so they could go back to see it. Is there a "feature" or a custom extension that wo...

However, I...
I'm trying to set up surveys for a public facing MOSS site that allows anonymous access. I'm willing to live with the restrictions and have followed the instructions on the blog teuntostring- using-surveys-on-anonymous-access.htm (I can't add the link here as I'm a new user) to the letter (I think). However, I end up with a login prom...

I have a SharePoint web part that gets XML data from an .ASHX page, parses it and displays it using JavaScript. Everything works fine, until the XML changes. When I view the web part in IE, the new data is not updated until I close the browser. Even doing a CTRL-F5 does not grab the new data. Firefox displays the new data immediately...

I'm completely baffled as how to go about this, if anyone could...

What are the Benefits of using InfoPath forms in SharePoint? I’ve been doing research on InfoPath to see how it integrates with SharePoint.
