Month: March 2013

Sometimes when adding an item to your list or library you may want some of the metadata have default value selected. Today I am going to provide a quick tip on how you can set your Year column (textbox or dropdown) defaulted to current year value using Jquery.

<script language=”javascript” type=”text/javascript” 

src=”/Style Library/jquery-1.9.0.min.js”></script>

    <script language=”javascript” type=”text/javascript”>
    $(document).ready(function() {
     
    var currentYear = (new Date).getFullYear();

    // For Textbox  (change title value to your column title)
   
    $(“input[Title=’Year’]”).val(currentYear);
   
    // For dropdown(change title value to your column title)
   
    $(“select[Title=’Year’]”).val(currentYear).attr(“selected”, “selected”);
     
    });
</script>
