Using notes in web

Hi,

many solutions for web ignore simply the default features of a browser to go to the preceding and following web site, respectively, by clicking on the corresponding symbols in the symbol bar or clicking on the context menu of the right mouse button. Also I have found that for a dialog simply a normal window will be opened instead create a modal dialog like in notes client by a dialog box.

This are especially for workflow solutions not to accept. The user can e. g. go to the preceding web site and repeat the same action e. g. to caculate once more a sum that is not be able in notes client. Further by a dialog in a normal window the user can change the focus an go to the underlying window for another action and the context of the dialog is not the same as before.

Can anybody tell me something to this aspects and are there any features to prevent scrolling web site backward or forward during an application is running. Maybe by running the application in a new window without any toolbar and handle event when clicking the rigth mouse button for the context menu. Further to get a really modal dialog by using showModalDialog method for Microsoft IE or features ‘modal=yes,alwaysRaised=yes’ for a window in Netscape.

Thanks in advance for any answers and excuse me for my bad English, I’m a German user.

You can avoid the back button by replacing the current window’s content (window.location.replace). You can also use something like this on your forms:

You can use the onfocus and onunload events of the document body to manage dialogs:

if (newwin!=null || newwin.location.href == ‘’){newwin.close()}
