Hi,
Currently, I have a workflow application in the Lotus Notes.
I want to redesign this database in such a way that it could be opened in both the Notes client and Web client.
Could anyone suggest me anykind of nsfs available on the web (Internet) or any help document so, that i can start the work.
thanks
Jhon

Ext.nd will do most of the hard work for you with this.
Here’s a demo to look at

And here’s where you can download the code

And if you have any questions, just post in the Ext.nd forum

Domino does a fair job of rendering your forms on the web though sometimes it does look craptabulous sometimes and the java applet for views tends to crash.
The coolest looking stuff at the mo is the dojo toolkit though this might mean an upgrade but you can see what salivating delights are on offer here → http://dojotoolkit.org/ and using it in domino here → http://dojomino.com/dojomino/blog.nsf/d6plinks/LSPN-73ZFSP

The little bit of Note Web development I’ve done, I’ve set up a form that includes subforms for either the Notes Client or Web Client.
You can quickly set up a form to work both on Lotus Notes and the web. The devil is always in the details.
If you have an field you just type into - works fine in both.
If you have a radio button or check box - works fine in both.
However, if you have a Dialog List - this works in Notes but won’t work on the web because basic HTML doesn’t create dialog boxes. This is when you get into doing things with Javascript or Java.
Lotus Notes you can have a Computed field (say C) which takes values based on a couple of other fields (A and B) and as data is entered the Computed field displays the response (e.g C = A + B)
On the Web, the client is displaying a form. By default there is no code running, so C won;t diplay the sum of A and B unless you reload the page OR add some javascript to handle the Computation.
