Hello,Is there a way of changing the default message “No documents found” when browsing a view through HTTP with no documents in it.
Thanks for your help.
Subject: Changing default “No documents found”
Slightly different, but if there are no documents I don’t want to display the embedded view or any message, so I’ve put the following code into the hide when of the embedded view.
Lookup := @DbLookup( “” : “NoCache” ; “” : “” ; “(MyEmbeddedView)” ; MyField ; 1 ) ;
@IsError( Lookup )

More or less the same.Is a combination of 2 possible solutions than I see in the forum
Here is the part in the Page or Form :
--> As pass-thru HTML
--> As pass-thru HTML
Your embedded view
--> As pass-thru HTML
--> As pass-thru HTML
Your message. → As standard text
In the JSHeader :
function HideView() {
var h2 = document.getElementsByTagName(“h2”);
for (var vLoop = 0; vLoop < h2.length; vLoop++){
if (h2[vLoop].childNodes[0].nodeValue == “No documents found”){
document.all.view.style.display="none";
}
else
{
document.all.msg.style.display="none";
}
}
}

With javascript you can search for the string and replace it. Look at http://www.codestore.net
for a couple of different solutions.

Thanks,Found many solutions. The simplest one is the following (I’lle post it to help anyone else interested).
Here is the part in the Page or Form :
--> As pass-thru HTML
--> As pass-thru HTML
Your embedded view
--> As pass-thru HTML
--> As pass-thru HTML
Your message. → As standard text
In the JSHeader :
function HideView() {
var tableTags = document.all.tags(‘A’) ; → The tricky part. You look for a tag in the information returned by your embedded view. I have a link so the “A” tag works for me. You may have to change that.
if (tableTags.length==0)
{
document.all.view.style.display=“none”;
}
else
{
document.all.msg.style.display=“none”;
}
}
And call the function on the OnLoad
And that’s it. It works fine and it’s light.
Subject: Why bother with javascript? (WAS: Changing default “No documents found”)
The JS solutions work great, but you don’t have to use Javascript: in my web apps I usually have a field that has a numeric value in it reflecting the number of entries in a view. Using this field value as a reference, I then simply create hide-when formula for the embedded view and message string / field / computed text / whatever respectively.
Works just fine.

Can you please give more informations on your solution?I have problems to understand it.
Thank you

The process relies on code documented here, i.e. knowing how many documents are in a view, and hiding / showing the embedded view and navigation options as a result:
Note that you need to use the Javascript solution if your views get very big, as the native Domino code hinges on @DbColumn, which has an upper limit.
