Dec 9	comment	Reference of jquery increase with edit of CEWP I use the same technique here and it's nice. The content link doesn't mangle the JavaScript and editing it in SPD through the Site Assets library (or any document library) makes for instant updates during development/debugging/tweaking.

Aug 9	answered	Sharepoint 2010 Condition List validation?
Aug 9	comment	Should I use a third-party logging framework? Log to the ULS. You can do it with a single line of code or you can create a (small) wrapper class to do it (with custom "Prodcts" in the log so you can separate them out). The ULS log viewer is a great tool because you can monitor each server in real-time and see what's coming from ULS. Don't reinvent the wheel with log4net or some other logging system (and definately not Enterprise Library, that's overkill).

Jun 28	comment	How can I export a schema.xml file for a list from a SharePoint site? Thanks John. Yeah, the path needs to be there in case you're in a subsite (just leave it blank if you're at the root).

Jun 24	comment	How do you get the current list item in JavaScript? Thanks. Didn't know about the CountDictionary call which can be useful if you need to know the number of items. In my example I posted you can just use for(k in items) to loop through everything returned from getSelectedItems(ctx)
