Image Gallery Utility For Dynamics CRM

In our earlier article we have demonstrated how we can fetch images attached to notes. Working on the same requirement we have enhanced our examples to develop an image gallery utility to see all the images attached to notes. Here is the complete code for this utility:

  1. <!--This is a Image Gallery utility, which can be used with any entity which have    
  2. relationship with Notes, this web resource will show all the images attached to notes -->< html >< head >< style type = "text/css" >

  4.     .left - div {    
  5.         display: inline - block;    
  6.         cursor: pointer;    
  7.     }    
  8.     .right - div {    
  9.         cursor: pointer;

  26.             SectionName = fields[1];

  41.         return false;    
  42. }    
  43. //hide/show image gallery    
  44. function showImageGalery(tabname, sectionname, flag) {
