  • Showing the Processing/Loading image

    I came across a good code sample while surfing for showing the Loading/Processing  image on the VisualForce Page.

    You can find it at: http://force.siddheshkabe.co.in/2009/10/displaying-please-wait-ajax-animation.html

  • Salesforce: Accessing Field label of object in VisualForce page

    In VFPage one can directly access the label of any particular field of sObject. In future if the label is changed in the sObject, same will be reflected in the VFPage.

    For Example:

    <apex:column title="{!$ObjectType.OpportunityLineItem.fields.Quantity.label}" headerValue="{!$ObjectType.OpportunityLineItem.fields.Quantity.label}" width="50px">

    It also avoids hard-coded labels and make it more flexible.
