Create Document using HTML Fields

HCL Domino Domino Forum
1

Hi All,

I got lot of help from this forum on different topics. One more favour I want from you.

I have a from which has so many fields my be 20 - 25. This is Lotus Domino fields. Like

TEXT, DATE/TIME,RICHTEXTFILED, DIALOG LIST etc. I am trying to develope web-based application.

What I did firstly I told my web-designer to create a from which has .html in the dreamweaver.

He had made beautiful User Registraion page using css and html fields.

After approved by client I copy the entire page in my buffer and past it on to the form in my lotus Domino and I make it pass-thru HTML.

and replace and all the HTML Tags with my domino Filed where ever I need. Now I view this form through IE browser.

It is looking so good what I want.

Now the problem is after few days my client need to change some desing and fields of the form.

I need your suggestion and guide line what would be the best practice for that?

what I think, I again told me to my designer change your html pages in the dreamweaver as per client request. Then I took this file and copy the entire content and past it to the form and again pass-thru HTLM and replace the HTML Tag with Domino Filed.

This is the first way to do which is very tedious job and lot of time-taken job. It just like to redesign the forms.

Have you any idea how to integrate this with third party designer tool like dreamweaver or else.

or is there any way to create the document using HTML fields? If yes please suggest me how it could be done.

If I create document using HTML Fields then I have to not again replace the Domino Fields with HTML Fields.

And if created document using HTML Fields are the documents visible in the view.

Please suggest me and provide me some content links so that I can understand and what should work around I have to do for this

job.

I will be very thank ful to all of you for your kind response and help

With Regards,

You may want to look at Edit > Convert to HTML in Designer:http://www-12.lotus.com/ldd/doc/domino_notes/7.0/help7_designer.nsf/2e73cbb2141acefa85256b8700688cea/65987a2117b762818525704a003f3a9b?OpenDocument

You can keep the tags on the form — just give them the correct id/name tags…

Maybe get the form in Domino working correctly, convert to HTML, and put in Dreamweaver??? Or vice-versa?

Thanks Dan,

As you said

what I have done, I have created a form Named

“Test1” and on this I have added following html tags :


below this i added a hot-spot button and added a code document.forms[0].submit();

i have also created a view with the same name test1 and added a two column “Name” and “age” in the programer pane i choosen a formula and add userName for the Name column and Age for the age Column.

Now when I run the form from the browser it will display me two text boxes with a one submit button. I entered the value in it “vikas” for userName and 25 for age and press submit. a Message will display FormProcessed. Now from Client if i run the view it will show me a document is created but value is not displaying.

my question is can I not create a document with HTML fields. If I can create then why should value is not displaying. Or how could I use and display the value from the document is created? please help me…
