I need to reconsider this.
When the user tries to access a link on the web, the Section form that has the agent running from there if the value is false then I need to have a javascript code that will have a message to the user that they cannot access that section as they did not do the previous section also I want to send them back to the previous page history.go(-1)
I have tried to write javascript in the script agent but I am successful about it…
alert (“Please complete previous section” );
history.go(-1);
any ideas how to do it…

A WQO agent is run on the server, not in the browser. To set a field on the document, get the DocumentContext from the Notessession, and access it as any other document.
dim ns as new notessession
dim doc as notesdocument
set doc = ns.documentcontext
call doc.replaceitemvalue(“fieldname”, “value”)
For JavaScript that is to be executed in the browser, you need to put that on the form, or in a .js file or some other way. You can’t put it in an agent. Agents doesn’t execute in the browser, they execute on the server.

one way to accomplish your goal here is to have a computed field somewhere on your form called, let’s say, JSToExecute.
Place the computed field at the top of the form like so:
<script type="text/javascript>place field here</script> <p>and set the whole line to be PassThru HTML.</p> <p>Now, in your webqueryopen agent, create the javascript you want to execute as a string and place it in the JSToExecute field, like so:</p> <p>dim session as new NotesSession</p> <p>dim doc as NotesDocument</p> <p>dim strJS as string</p> <p>set doc = session.DocumentContext</p> <p>strJS = “alert(‘Hello world’);”</p> <p>call doc.ReplaceItemValue(“JSToExecute”,strJS)</p> <p>I have to say, however, that redirecting the user as soon as they open a webpage (by using history.go(-1), for instance) is not the best way to do things, since it creates a longer wait time for them with multiple server trips. I would recommend finding a better way to accomplish your goal here. Like maybe not letting them leave the first screen until they have completed it?</p>
