After a busy couple of days I've only just picked up the news that the GetDocumentByKey problem highlighted by Erik Brooks and discussed also by Ed Brill. The good news is that the fix is due to be released in 8.5.1 FP3, according to the SPR, and that the fix will cover client and server.

There have been a few posts recently about triggering client-side javascript from server-side javascript, integrating output from the server-side javascript. Here's one way of doing it. It may not be best practice, and I'm sure there are other methods - with XPages I've come to learn that there are always at least two ways of doing the same thing.

That's because we're triggering client-side javascript from the onComplete event, and that only became available from 8.5.1. You can see it in action here. Take ...

Following on from BLUG last month, I'm attaching the slides and sample XPages database on my blog as well as on the BLUG site.

By using a repeat control, the javascript series is not available in time for Internet Explorer to use it. In Firefox it seems to be fine though.

On a similar topic, some time ago I posted an idea on IdeaJam for using the Editor2 dojo widget that ships with the Domino Blog template for XPages. For those who haven't compared the blog template with the XPages rich text editor, the main frustration here is that the rich text editor which ships with XPages does not allow you to add links or images, as you can with the editor for the ...
