Yesterday Chris Toohey provided one of his typically insightful articles about the change of nomenclature with Domino R8, from database to application.

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.

Today I picked up a query on the Notes and Domino 8.5 forum asking how to launch the first attachment on a document from a view panel in XPages. I had done something similar for BLUG in terms of adding content to a view panel and showing a thumbnail picture stored in a rich text

As you dig deeper into XPages, sometimes you find strange behaviour. My approach (once I can reproduce it) is the same as with any complex problem I encounter in support. First I strip it down to the bare minimum and see if it still happens. Then I add, one by one, anything that’s extra or more complex

So today was my debut as a speaker at a LUG, at BLUG at the IBM Forum in Brussels. My session title was “XPages from a Different ‘View’-point”, basically getting the most from View Controls, Data Tables and most of all Repeat Controls.
