In the UK, from 1st January the standard TAX rate is returning to 17.5%. This was reduced to 15% on 1st December 2008 to help the economy. With only a week’s notice, it also caused headaches for software developers and finance departments throughout the country. For SEAS, our electronic invoice approval system, the one week’s notice […]

Now and then I come across a bit of functionality I never knew about. Occasionally I’m embarrassed to find out it’s been there for ages! An example of that is the Run in background client thread option for Notes agents. I only noticed this because of the clearer layout for Agent properties in Domino 8.5

Option Four Option Four seems quite convoluted, but is essentially a simple principle. We use server-side javascript in the beforePageLoad event to set viewScope variables for each of the radio button, check box and list box mandatory questions we want to check against. We then use the onClick event to trigger a partial refresh and

Option Three is a modification of Option Two, which reproduced the client-side validation available for other XPages controls, with a javascript alert. At this point I should add some background to the application I was working on. The application in question is a major upgrade of our enterprise feedback tool, EFT, which added in Dojo styling, used

Anyone who used Domino Desiger 8.5 must have been looking forward to last Monday. There were blog posts teasing about the improvements in 8.5.1 in the build-up and constant tweets across Twitter on Monday and Tuesday about people installing 8.5.1. If you want to know about the many major improvements, a myriad of developers have already eulogised more

First of all, apologies for not making further progress on the validation tutorials. Prior to a customer meeting, I was doing a final review of the mixture of client-side and server-side validation I implemented, and found problems. It looks like 8.5.1 may be able to address this, so watch this space. So as a fall-back

Yes, modifying the Mail template is to be avoided at all costs. But sometimes the customer needs changes. The scenario we had was a customer requiring CommonStore and DUCS design elements in the same template, and there was nothing available off the shelf. I had information about the design elements that needed adding, so it

One of the functions I found customers often requesting was a view where something in the view selection formula or column formula required comparison to today’s date. But we all know @Today is not recommended in views because of the performance issues. This is a little agent I created to allow me to hard-code a

In Part One we saw that the XSP.attachValidator function threw a javascript error, and that adding a required validator does not allow you to customise the message. However, with a little bit of scripting it is still possible to use XSP.attachValidator. Option Two: Add Scripted Validators First, a couple of basics. Whereas the required validator uses server-side
