Since I first blogged about Dojo charting in XPages in 2009, quite a lot has changed with Dojo. Much of what I did then is still valid, including the additional JavaScript file I created at Lotusphere 2011 and contributed to OpenNTF for making the chart legend multi-column and allowing styling on it. However, when trying […]

After one of my sessions at IBM Connect I was approached by a developer whose company would not use open source. The comment made me despair more than a little and has festered for some time. I’ve used code and projects from OpenNTF for many, many years before subsequently contributing to OpenNTF. Obviously as a

As I blogged when 8.5.3 went live, Dojo is now packaged as 1.5.1 as physical files on the server for iNotes and 1.6.1 in a plugin. So how do you inspect what’s provided in the plugin? That was the focus on one of the comments on the post I made. Well, Nathan Freeman and Serdar

Fredrik Norling blogged yesterday about using Regular Expressions to validate in XPages (but also traditional Domino web development). There is one option for validating using regular expressions that Fredrik didn’t mention, and it’s well worth covering. Because although you can find a lot of regular expressions on the web, writing your own or modifying regular

Today I took part in the Ask The Xperts webinar by GBS and TLCC. One of the questions was about problems with the XPages date picker in Internet Explorer 8. When not in compatibility mode, the page refreshes as soon as the user clicks on the date picker. There may be times when you want

I’ve been rather busy today so I’m yet to upgrade to Domino 8.5.3 but there are a host of goodies in the new release, not least for XPages developers. While preparing for my session at Lotusphere last year one of the areas I looked at was managing the Dojo version used by XPages. With research

Two and a half years ago when I started working with XPages, there was a relative paucity of support materials. Declan Lynch’s 50-odd introduction was a god-send as were blog posts from John Mackey and Matt White. The Dojo documentation was okay, but the implementation of Dojo 1.1.1 was very limiting. There had been sessions

Thanks to a tweet from Per Henrik Lausten I was alerted to the release of Dojo 1.6. There are quite a few big changes most notably use of “dojo-data-type” for widgets. This is a huge change but one which has been made to fit in with HTML5 standards. I haven’t followed the discussions in depth
During February Bob Balfe has been blogging 28 days of Dojo. To tie in with that I’ve decided now is a good time to blog about a couple of charting enhancements I included in my Lotusphere session with Dave Leedy, XPages: Enter The Dojo. The first is new functionality available with Dojo 1.5.0 to add
