how to specify default value for people or group field in sharepoint with current user
Hi all,
Can anyone tell me how can we specify the default value for people or group field with the current user id in sharepoint

Are u talking about populating default user information (including his user id / full name) in a list ? If Yes, then one of the ways i'd suggest is by following the following blog post by Laura Rogers. It works perfectly, the only caveat is your MOSS
farm needs to be enabled with enterprise version and NOT standard.

Hi,
Do you want to fill on list pages? (ie newform.aspx, editform.aspx etc) If yes then a small jaavscript can help you.
1. Add a CEWB on your page
2. Try to use below java script
<script type="text/javascript">
_spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push("fillDefaultValues");
function fillDefaultValues() {
var qs = location.search.substring(1, location.search.length);
var args = qs.split("&");
var vals = new Object(getUserDisplayName());
var assignedToInput = getTagFromIdentifierAndTitle("div", "", "People Picker");
assignedToInput.innerHTML = vals;
for (var i=0; i < args.length; i++) {
var nameVal = args[i].split("=");
var temp = unescape(nameVal[1]).split('+');
nameVal[1] = temp.join(' ');
vals[nameVal[0]] = nameVal[1];
}
}
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;
}
function getUserDisplayName() {
var tags = document.getElementsByTagName('a');
for (var i=0; i < tags.length; i++) {
if(tags[i].innerText.substr(0,7) == 'Welcome') {
return tags[i].innerText.substr(8,tags[i].innerText.length);
}
}
}
</script>
