I am not an experienced Notes developer but I have inherited a Notes database with that is enabled for the web. Due to recent company standards changes, our database cannot now use the java view applet to display embedded views in forms on the web. I have had to change those forms to Display “Using HTML”. When I do this, the embedded view looks fine in the form on the Notes Client. It has a gray background on the column headers and shows scroll bars. However, when I view this same form on the web, the embedded view loses the gray background on the column headers and the scroll bars are gone. So no matter how high I set the lines to display limit, some rows don’t display and I can’t scroll.
Is this normal? Or is there something else I need to check.
Any assistance would be appreciated as I have a 12/15 deadline to get the new standards complaint interface into production.
“Display using HTML” just creates an HTML table. If you want the header to appear as it does in the Notes client (more-or-less), you will need to use CSS to control the appearance of the TH element. Put this in the HTML Head Content object:
You will want to expand on the CSS at some point – web development, even on Domino, means getting to know the web.
As for the lines to display, there is a server max docs setting that may be lower than what you are trying to set. In any case, the view is not a little wee scrollable box with an HTML view, it’s a table that goes on and on. That is, the whole page would scroll. And if there are a lot of docs in the view, the page will take forever to load. There are two commands that can be used to page through the view content:
@DbCommand(“Domino”;“ViewNextPage”)
@DbCommand(“Domino”;“ViewPreviousPage”)
Mind you, there are far more sophisticated ways to present the view, but if you are at a beginner’s level and need to get this done NOW, then simpler is better.
