Also added in the code is small javascript so that if we select the header checkbox it will select all the checkboxes.

Below version isn’t working due to cross domain issues (As visualforce pages are served from *.force.com domain and salesforce standard pages are served from *.salesforce.com domain, so it results in cross domain errors).

There are many a times where we want to remove few standard buttons from page layout, but there is no such option to remove such restricted buttons. Few such buttons are …

Following is a solution which will hide “Save & Send Invitation” button on New Event page

STEP1: Visualforce Code

window.parent.document.getElementsByName("sendEmail")[1].style.display = 'none';
}

Following is an algorithm I found on Salesforce Community. It converts a 15 digit salesforce Id to the corresponding 18 digit Salesforce Id. This is pretty helpful in onclick JavaScript codes and S-Controls where merge fields normally return only 15 digits. Also, although the code is in JavaScript, it can be easily converted to any other coding language code.

function normaliseSforceID( id) { // fluff up a 15 char id to return an 18 char id
if (id == null) return id;
id = id.replace(/\"/g, ''); // scrub quotes from this id
if (id.length != 15) {
//print('well, id is not 15, bye' + id + ' ' + id.length);
return null;
}
var suffix = "";
for (var i = 0; i < 3; i++) { var flags = 0; for (var j = 0; j < 5; j++) { var c = id.charAt(i * 5 + j); if (c >= 'A' && c < = 'Z') { flags += 1 << j; } } if (flags <= 25) { suffix += "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ".charAt(flags); } else { suffix += "012345".charAt(flags-26); } } return id + suffix; }
