Hi, I’m searching for a way to navigate back a page with a form action to a categorized view, without losing what had already been expanded. I’ve seen certain methods of doing this utilizing JS and frames, but I’m not using frames since I’m working within a portlet, with pre-defined panes. All the JS history commands won’t work, as they don’t recognize Notes categorization. The form I’m opening will only be in Read mode, andthen require you to hit a back button. Anyone know of a good way to do this?

Are you writing your own portlet or configuring the Domino application portlet (or however that was called)? When writing your own portlet, couldn’t you store the complete URL, that has been requested from Domino as session data and then request this again, when the back button is clicked? Outside of a portlet you could simply store the URL (or parts of it) to a cookie, but that probably won’t work here.

Its an Oracle portlet, so that’s not going to work. I can’t use a standard URL, because I’d lose the categorization that I previously had expanded. Cookies are not an option, either.

have you considered using an iframe inside your portlet? Or launching the form ina new popout window and leaving the view alone in the foreground?

I am actually using an iframe in my portlet, but when I open the document, I lose the iframe. Is there a way to keep a document in the iframe when opening it? I’m not sure if that will make a difference, though, as I’ll still need to hit a back button to go back to the view with the expanded categories.
