dojo is the JavaScript framework chosen
by IBM to be used in XPages. This alone makes it worth a look. Beside this
it is very powerful. To add "Drag&Drop" to your application
is just three lines of code. Using a Date picker is just a HTML attribute
added to the input element. And there are tons of other useful stuff. The
best thing is that you can use it today in your st [read] Keywords: domino

dojo and Notes: Article 7 - dojo.fx.Toggler - Save the Object State
Fri, Jul 30th 2010 10:33a Bernd Hort Those who have tried the example
from last weeks article
might have noticed a little something. When you first click on the session
title, the session description while come visible. Then clicking again
on the session title "apparently" nothing happens. The code behind
the onClick event was just for opening the session description. Because
it is already open, there is only a brief flicker to be seen. We will adjust
the code so that the function remembers the current state and either displays

A Classic Lotus Domino Web Development Mystery
Thu, Jul 29th 2010 7:34a Arnd Koch In classic Lotus Domino Web development
(without XPages) using non-7 bit-ASCII characters in field names can lead
into problems, because Domino encodes such names into cryptic strings inside
the HTML page. In some cases, i.e. for client side validation of fields
using JavaScript in the browser, it is nearly impossible to get the original
fields name off the encoded one. The easiest way would be to pre-calculate
the encoded names in the Domino back-end and generate the needed JavaScript
code befo [read] Keywords: domino

2 SSJS libs, one XPage and a Mystery
Thu, Jul 22nd 2010 9:25a Thomas Bahn At times, I spend waste
a lot of time due to my stubbornness, when something that should work,
doesn't work.
This time, the problem (at its core) involved only two server-side JavaScript
script libraries and one XPage.
First II wrote a SSJS commonUtils.jss,
which creates an objects de.assono.commonUtils
with a method getView(db, viewName).
Then I developed a second library myViewUtils.jss,
which in turn creates the object de.assono.myViewUtils.
In order to use the first library, I import [read] Keywords: ibm

Critical Windows-LNK-Vulnerability
Wed, Jul 21st 2010 11:25a Marcus Ley On July 16th Microsoft published Security Adisory (2286198) concerning a vulnerability on windows systems from XP to 7. All versions are affected including the server derivates. The vulnerability exists because Windows parses shortcuts in such a way that malicious code can be executed. It is possible to load malicious software using a prepared LNK or PIF file.
It is not required to open an infected file. Displaying the link in Windows Explorer or any other graphical file browser (e.g. Total [read] Keywords: desktop

Quick Tip: Simple Excel export from Domino Web applications
Sat, Jul 17th 2010 6:24a Thomas Bahn At times you want to export documents from
a Domino Web application in order to work with the data in a spreadsheet
like Microsoft Excel, to prepare, process and visualize the information.
A simple, but flexible way is to write
an LotusScript agent in the Web app, which "prints" a HTML table:
Sub
Initialize()
Print |Content-Type:application/vnd.ms-excel|
Print |Content-Disposition: Attachment; filename="exportToExcel.xls"|

Fix Pack 2 for Domino 7.0.4
Fri, Jul 16th 2010 9:25a Marcus Ley Almost one year after the latest Fix Pack for Domino Server 7.0.4 IBM released a second Fix Pack on June 30 2010. According to IBM it addresses a limited number of low-risk fixes.
An interesting point is the fix of problems concerning the LotusScript-Commands GetDocumentByKey and GetAllDocumentsByKey (see Blogentry of June 03 2010).
The error occured in version 7.0.4 and persisted up until version 8.5.1 where it was fixed via Fix Pack 3. See Technote SPR CSCT836HFL. Download options

dojo and Notes: Article 5 - dojo.fx -Animation
Thu, Jul 15th 2010 10:24a Bernd Hort In the last
article I introduced dojo.query().
In this one we will actually use dojo.query() also. But this time in combination
of the dojo.fx package, which brings functions to animate elements in a
web page. Specially in dynamic web applications, where elements appear
only when they are needed or after the have been loaded, animations helps
the user to notice the change. Instead of making an element just visible
in a blink it is better to smoothly fade it in.

QuickTip: Nested Bookmarks in the Activities plug-in in the Notes client
Thu, Jul 8th 2010 11:24a Thomas Bahn To structure activities in the Activities
plug-in in the Standard Notes client, you can use sections. In the sections
you can add entries and to do items. An entry may contain one or more bookmarks
and/or files.
Only if an entry contains exactly one
bookmark, you can open the referenced Web site directly with a double click;
adding more than one bookmark to an entry leads makes them inconvenient
to use.
All this results in very, very long
lists of bookmarks and heavy use of the search fun [read] Keywords: connections

dojo and Notes: Article 3 - dojo.query() using CSS selectors
Fri, Jul 2nd 2010 9:24a Bernd Hort The last
article dealt primarily with the
presentation of the sample application and with the first step in that
direction. Today we cover dojo.query(), which is pretty much the most important
and most powerful method in the dojo toolkit. Simply put, dojo.query()
returns a set of HTML DOM nodes that satisfy a given CSS selection. The
ingenious thing is that we can use CSS-3 queries in browsers which do not
support CSS-3 natively.
Supported CSS selectors are
class selectors, e.g., ".foo"

Kaspersky blocks dojo JavaScript file
Mon, Jun 14th 2010 6:25a Bernd Hort After my last dojo-Article
- "Motivation and 'Hello World' sample"
a colleague called, that he could not see the three calendars in the embedded
iframe. Instead he only saw three plain input fields.
Screenshot dojo calendar:
After doing some research and some trial

dojo and Notes: Article 1 - Motivation and "Hello World" sample
Mon, Jun 7th 2010 6:30a Bernd Hort As announced,
the first article from the dojo-article series.
Before we deal with the actual technology,
first the question "why"? There are a number of alternatives.
So why should we use dojo as "our" JavaScript Framework?
OpenSource
That dojo is open source is certainly
not a unique feature. Many of the JavaScript frameworks are also open source.
However, dojo is used by AOL, IBM, Cisco, Sun and others, and supported
by them.

dojo and Notes: new article series
Thu, May 20th 2010 9:26a Bernd Hort When I lately did my presentation from the EntwicklerCamp
"dojo
and Notes" internally, I
got the idea to write a little series of articles about dojo and Notes.
In the coming weeks I will introduce a dojo technique briefly with an example.
All examples are a) available for download and b) could be used in Lotus
Notes web applications prior to version 8.5.
I will use this blog entry to write
a table of the contents. So it pays to bookmark this page.

Full text search message "Query is not understandable"
Wed, May 5th 2010 11:26a Bernd Hort We all love Lotus Notes for its RAD
flexibility. But sometimes Notes has a memory like an elephant.
A customer had recently a problem with
the full text search. Early in the project a field in one of the Notes
forms had been defined as a number field. Later they changed the field
type to text. No big deal until a user tried to make a full text search
specially for this field. The following message came as quite a surprise.
The search string FIELD

was correct.
