$$SearchTemplate and Frameset

HCL Domino Domino Forum

Hi

The developer working for our company is trying to display the results of a search in a frameset. The frame she is trying to use is called Main in a frameset called MainFrame. The AutoFrame properties of the view and the $$searchtemplatedefault form are set to MainFrame (frameset) and Main (frame). With these properties in place, a search returns no results. When these properties are removed and the same search is performed, the correct results appear.

Can her search results only be displayed separately with a button to return to the database or can she display them in the frameset.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Lisa

Hi Lisa,

Assuming this is for the web, you can use something like this under the “Go” hotspot (to display the results in the frame “Right”):

var f = document.forms[0];

if (IsValidTextNoAlert(f.SearchString)){

parent.Right.location = “/”+ f.wdbn.value + “/AllDocsSearch?SearchView&Query=”+ f.SearchString.value;

}

else {return false}

“wdbn” above is a field with @WebDbName.

HTH,

Simeon
