XML Data Islands, using ReadViewEntries with Content Type Notes

If I have a form with Content Type set to “Notes” (you know, wanting Domino to do some things for me), and I have a JS action (a button for now) that uses ReadViewEntries (using MSXML) to load new data into the MSXML object. In the xml value of the resulting MSXML object, the primary “viewentries” with toplevel value is missing (although the closing element tag is there at the end “” of the xml result.

When using a Page instead, where you specifically define the DOCTYPE, and all related functions are exact as in the “Notes” content type form, this function is no problem, and the initial xml element “viewentries” is part of the result.

It’s so very close… if only the initial “viewentries” element tag was in the result set of the xml value, I’m figuring that I could use the “Notes” content type to my benefit (form instead of a page).

I’m testing this with an XML Data Island, and data initially loads fine (not using ReadViewEntries initially), and the data can be modified if pointing the xml element to a different src value, which refers to another domino page configured for another view. However, it will all be easier if I could call ReadViewEntries instead of creating multiple views, etc… The same functions have no problem when the parent page is defined with the xhtml doctype. Is this a wait and see on future releases issue?

Subject: Not sure what your problem is…

All my calls to ReadViewEntries get:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
  • table><tr onMouseDown="lineClick(this)"

onMouseUp=“lineUnclick(this)”;">Andy

Subject: Using MSXML…

nevermind, I find a typo in the Notes form instance… o joy… was displaying the information back incorrectly using the MSXML DOMDocument.

yeah, yeah.
