I would recommend creating a blank HTML document and having some input controls on there to mimic whatever interface you finally want to get this into.
Then put the javascript on the page. This gives you a controlled environment where you are dealing with just getting the javascript working. Then you can put this working code onto the SharePoint page and open it to other elements that *might* be breaking the code. I would also recommend using some JavaScript debugging tools to allow you to step through the code to see how you're going. There are references to JavaScript debugging tools here: http://sharepointdevwiki.com/display/public/JavaScript+debugging+tools be interested to see what others use for JavaScript e.g. to fill this page out some more ;-) From: ozmoss@ozmoss.com [mailto:ozm...@ozmoss.com] On Behalf Of Paul Noone Sent: Friday, 20 March 2009 11:06 AM To: ozmoss@ozmoss.com Subject: RE: Multiple search scopes error [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED] I have some barebones functions to manage this but require some help. Any JavaScript gurus out there? I have created a couple of functions. One scours the page for all inputs of type checkbox and then adds an onclick event on the fly. The second is the function which checks the state of the checkboxes and applies checked=true to the selection (if it is not already checked) and then unchecks all other checkboxes. I'm having trouble however and am hoping someone is able to provide the solution. :) // Only allow one checkbox at a time to be checked function CheckCheckboxes(){ var foundCount = 0 for(i=0;i<document.getElementsByTagName("input").length;i++) { if(document.getElementsByTagName("input")[i].type == "checkbox") { //alert(document.getElementsByTagName("input")[i].checked) if(document.getElementsByTagName("input")[i].checked == true) { // Do something } else if (type=="checkbox") { // Do something else } foundCount++ } } } // Add the onclick event at run-time var allCheckboxes = document.getElementsByTagName("input").type == "Checkbox"; for (i=0;i<allCheckboxes.length;i++) { allCheckboxes[i].onclick=function() {return CheckCheckboxes(this)}; } // Activate the functions on page load if( window.onload ) { CheckCheckboxes(); } From: ozmoss@ozmoss.com [mailto:ozm...@ozmoss.com] On Behalf Of Paul Noone Sent: Thursday, 19 March 2009 11:54 AM To: ozmoss@ozmoss.com Subject: RE: Multiple search scopes error [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED] By default the All Sites scope includes All Content. The problem arises if you add exclusions (URL matches) to this and select another scope. I'd like to restrict them to single scope searches if possible but this isn't as easy as I'd hoped.

Because the Advanced Search web part allows them to pick multiple scopes they tend to select them all, just to be safe, even though one of them is called "All Sites"! In doing so, they receive the error: "Your search cannot be completed because of a service error. Try your search again or contact your administrator for more information." I know why this is happening [http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepointsearch/thread/fb78decc-aeb5-4c04-bb75-473c25f8c11d/] but am not sure of the best approach to rectify it. I'd originally added some JavaScript to the page via a CEWP to uncheck the selected scope when another selection was made but this wasn't ideal. Aside from educating end users, are there any other suggestions?
