The time zone cookie that is new in Domino 6 (you can set your regional settings using a URL to the server which then creates a cookie on your machine with the settings) is a great feature!
It works great if you have date fields that are set to “User Setting” - it does take the values on the cookie.
However, my dilema has to do with formatting on a field that is not a date field. It is a text field that records progress.
-
The user presses a button
-
A dialog box appears where they enter information then OK
-
The text field on the document shows the user’s common name followed by the date and the progress that was just entered.
#3 is generated using Java. We have hard coded the format of the date but now want to utilize the time zone cookie.
What would be the best way to do this?
Thanks!
