If you encounter this issue, it is clear that your SP machine is unable to get the credentials verified with the Active Directory. Try ipconfig /flushdns - and if it still does not work, do ipconfig /registerdns

Validating Taxonomy Metadata Field in Javascript (Multiple Value Field)

In my previous post, I had mentioned about performing validation of a single value taxonomy field. This script does validation of a multi-value field. This and the previous script works for how many ever taxonomy fields you have in the edit form. Now what I am trying to do is validate and prevent the user from saving the document if the same value repeats in those fields. ******************************* <script type="text/javascript">         function PreSaveAction() {             //alert("calling before save")             var iRef = document.getElementsByTagName("div");             var arr = new Array();             var duplicate = false;             var errors = new Array();             for (var i = 0; i < iRef.length; i++) {                 if (iRef[i].id.indexOf("editableRegion") >= 0) {                     var itemFound = iRef[i];                     if (itemFound.innerText.length == 1) {
