I’m trying to build an XPage driven web app that - amongst others - shall be accessed by various mobile devices. While most modern devices don’t have any problem with my app Blackberries are simply incapable of submitting pages or firing UI events.
No matter how I build a submit button (be it a simple submit type button, or a button with some code applied to its onClick event): if a Blackberry user clicks it then nothing is happening at all.
Same applies to code that is fired by a combo box’s onChange event - nothing changes.
The only exception to my knowledge is a device that runs Blackberry OS 5 which still is in Beta: here all events are working, and a submit is a submit (apart from the fact that css support is much improved…)
OK, I simply cannot wait for someone (Blackberry or IBM) to react, so I’m looking for workarounds. Of course I still want to stick to XPages, I really don’t want to rebiuld the entire app using standard design elements (which would be working, I already tested that…).
In web design using classic elements I have a vast number of url commands. One is a ?SaveDocument command available for Domino forms. My question is: is there some equivalent available for XPages? Something like
myXPage.xsp?createDocument&action=saveDocument
or whatever…
If that’s not an answer: does anyone still have another idea?
