Step 1: Kindly follow my intital post to understand how java script can be used in Content Editor Web Part.
Step 2: Consider a list like "Announcement" with custom "Yes\No" type column.
Step 3: Edit the page. You can modify the URL to edit NewForm.aspx. To the end of the URL append PageView=Shared&ToolPaneView=2. This will open the form in edit mode.
your URL must be like this http://sample.com/sites/BasicJs/Lists/Announcements/NewForm.aspx?PageView=Shared&ToolPaneView=2
Step 4: Add Content Editor Web Part.
Step 5: Write the following code in a text. save as html. upload into SharePoint.Link this html page to content editor web part or Write code in Web Part's text editor directly.
Step 6: Code
<html>
<head>
<SCRIPT type=text/javascript src="/mysites/myDocLibrary/JsFiles/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT type=text/javascript src="/mysites/myDocLibrary/JsFiles/JsFiles/jquery.SPServices-0.5.6.min.js"></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT type=text/javascript>
$(document).ready(function()
{
var TopAnnouncementField = getTagFromIdentifierAndTitle("input","","Top Announcement");
//alert("Control is " + TopAnnouncementField.name);
EnableSelection(TopAnnouncementField);
});
function EnableSelection(TopAnnouncementField)
{
//alert("inside EnableSelection");
TopAnnouncementField.checked = "True";
}
function getTagFromIdentifierAndTitle(tagName, identifier, title)
{
var len = identifier.length;
var tags = document.getElementsByTagName(tagName);
for (var i=0; i < tags.length; i++)
{
var tempString = tags[i].id;
if (tags[i].title == title && (identifier == "" || tempString.indexOf(identifier) == tempString.length - len))
{ return tags[i]; }
}
return null;
}
</SCRIPT>
