Frames, Framesets, and Submit

HCL Domino Domino Forum

I have searched this forum and have found a few references to my problem, but no solution that works for me.

I have a frameset with 2 frames. Links within frame 1 (index) launch in frame 2 (body) as do links in frame 2 (body).

Everything works fine if I open an existing document and close it, I’m right back to the view I started in within frame 2. But, when I create a new document (which opens correctly in frame 2, and save it, instead of returning to the view in frame 2, I get the entire frameset in frame 2.

My $$Return links back to the $$ViewTemplateDefault form, so I expect to see the default view in frame 2.

The initial launch on my database is for the frameset, but when I change this to “as last viewed” I am presented with the default list of views within the database in frame 2 instead.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

It sounds like this is a web application.

I’m not sure, in that context, what you mean when you talk about “closing” a document.

The exact $$Return formula is obviously important here, and I’m not sure why you didn’t post it.

You shouldn’t return to the $$ViewTemplateDefault form; return to a view. The view template form will take care of itself.

Yes, it’s a web application. Here’s my $$Return:

who:= CreatedBy;

Stat := Status;

Save := SaveOptions;

@If(Save = “1” & Stat = “Pending”; @Return(“

Thank you, " + who + “for your submission”+”


Return to Contractor’s view"); “[/CJF.nsf/Contractors?OpenView]”)

I suspect the $$Return may be returning an erroneous value. That @Return might also be a problem; I don’t know that, but I do know it’s unnecessary.

Without knowing more about your form, it’s hard to say what the error might be, though it’s almost certainly a datatype mismatch issue. Try the following formula:

_tmp := @If(SaveOptions = “1” & Status = “Pending”; “

Thank you, " + CreatedBy + " for your submission


Return to Contractor’s view”; “[/CJF.nsf/Contractors?OpenView]”);

@IfError(_tmp; @Text(_tmp))

There’s no need to create temporary variables just to hold the value of one field. It reduces readability, is less efficient, and makes the formula longer. Just use the original fieldname.

Your suggestions worked perfectly. Thanks.
