I have created a form where I use check boxes for four options. I only have one option per field because depending on the option because I have field next to it for additional input. I do it this way so that the formatting is correct and the fields line up. All of the check boxes show up when the form is in edit mode but they do not show up if I pull up the form from the view. How do I make the check boxes display so that we know the option was there but just not checked?
All help is appreciated.
Subject: Check boxes in web not showing
The only way to make Domino display checkboxes when the document is opened for reading is to provide them yourself as pass-through HTML.
You can e.g. copy the HTML for the checkboxes from the HTML source in edit mode, add the attribute “disabled” to each of them, hide the real fields in read mode and add the copied HTML, hidden in edit mode. To make the content dynamic, you would insert a computed text, referencing the real field value, to provide the value attribute.
If you had multiple value checkboxes, it would be more convenient to create all of the required pass-through HTML in the computed text, using list operations.
