SharePoint 2007: How to Edit a List Item by Clicking on its Title

I received a request from someone to modify a list view in such a manner that if someone clicks on the title of the item it should take him to the edit page instead of the display page. After some work with Sharepoint designer I was able to manage it in few steps. Here are the steps needed to be followed in this case:

  • Open the site in Sharepoint designer.
  • Navigate down to the list where you want to do the modification.
  • Open the view in sharepoint designer by double clicking on it.
  • Now right click on the area of list viewer webpart and click the option to Convert to XSLT data view.
  • Now click on the section of title as shown


  • This will also select the portion in code part. There you will get a code portion as :

href="{$URL_Display}?ID={@ID}" onclick="GoToPage('{$URL_Display}?ID={@ID}')

  •  Now just change it to:

href="{$URL_Edit}?ID={@ID}" onclick="GoToPage('{$URL_Edit}?ID={@ID}')

  • Save the page and you are ready to go.
  • Now if you click on title you will be taken to Edit form instead of Display form .
