A little over a year ago I went on an XPages course. The power of XPages to develop a scalable, flexible solution was obvious. Ok, one of my colleagues will admit that I wasn’t convinced after day one of the course. I was working on upgrading an existing web application. But after day two I […]

Not for the first time I came across something I had not been aware of before, and then had a second occurrence within a week. It’s something I’ll bear in mind for the future and, as such, I think it’s worth sharing. The first occurrence was last week. I’ve long held it true that if

At Intec we have a number of applications that have included charts for some time, whether for dashboards or other reporting. At the time the we used haneng charts (http://www.hanengcharts.com/), because we didn’t have the expertise in house to develop anything as good or better.

Option Three is a modification of Option Two, which reproduced the client-side validation available for other XPages controls, with a javascript alert.
