Some useful Javascript code samples for Microsoft CRM 2011 [ for newbies]
I recently came across a situation where I had to customize the forms of Microsoft CRM 2011 application. Microsoft Dynamics CRM enables developers with its strong JavaScript library, using which we can customize CRM web application as per customer requirement and business logic.
In this article I am giving a list of very basic javaScript code sampls which will help new comers to get a hang of form customization using JavaScript.
The image below shows the layout of JavaScript stack for Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011

Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get(5).SetVisible(false);
