There are a number of reasons why the CSS position: sticky property might not work such as browser compatibility, ancestor element has OVERFLOW property set, height is not set on parent element, or parent element is a flexbox.

Use this agent code to break up the attachments into their own notes documents.

1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc...

The iPhone and iPad automatically adds hyperlinks to things it thinks it knows how to handle, like linking dates to the Calendar app and phone numbers to the dialer. (Several desktop email and webmail systems do this too, especially for dates.)

You can prevent the form from submitting, but still specify functions to execute when a user hits ENTER within a specific field or object.

The popstate event will be triggered by doing a browser action such as a click on the back or forward button (or calling history.back() or history.forward() in JavaScript).

Use this when you need to determine the web-friendly URL for the current database directly.

1. Use prependTo() to insert the thead element
2. Use append() to insert the first tr inside the thead

I also had this problem with the latest Bootstrap v4.1.1. As a workaround, adding this css rule after Bootstrap js/css loaded.

This tip shows you how to set the date without the time section via LotusScript. Most methods for setting a date field via LotusScript leave you with a date in this format: 13/07/2014 00:00:00 GDT The time section always seems to get set either to the current time or 00:00:00. If the date is required to be stored in the same format as it would be if chosen from the date picker on a form, the time part must be removed.
The LotusScript functions, CDat, DateNumber, DateValue, Format are no help here, nor is the notesddatetime object -- unless you do what I have done below.

Use the formula below in your Lotus Formula agent to convert values for specific fields.

Features of Bootstrap that break:
- Collapsible components bounce disruptively due to Effects.
- Drop down menus parent disappears upon closing child.
- Tooltip trigger/parent disappear on blur.
- Popover trigger/parent disappears on blur or toggle.
- Tabs disappear on trigger and toggle.
With most of these issues, the cause is that Prototype.js applies display:none; to the parent element, making it disappear.

Issue when the table header columns are not fully aligned with the table body columns using datatables.net
This can occur when the table is located within a modal window. Use either the CSS or JQuery methods below.

Format the output of @AttachmentLengths into a more useful result.

If you have a workbook contains multiple protected worksheets with the same password, and now you need to unprotect them for modifying some information. Maybe, you can unprotect the sheets one by one with Unprotect Sheet in Excel, but this will waste a lot of time when there are multiple sheets need to be unprotected. Here, I will introduce you some quick ways to unprotect multiple protected sheets.

When you display content based on the presence of a URL query string value. For example
"http://website.com/page.html&smsg=You saved successfully"
will display the message, fade out after X seconds (2.5 seconds below) and then remove the query string from the address bar to display just this
"http://website.com/page.html"

This little snippet won't display the email address unless javascript is enabled in the browser, which web-bots do not run. The fully formatted email address won't be present in the html file, just in the browser ram.

As soon as you apply the .table-responsive class to a table, the table shrinks horizontally and no longer takes up 100% of the width.

Just a convenient multi-colored block to assist while performing your layouts.

Modal boxes are a frequently utilized tool in the web developer’s arsenal. Used for, amongst many things, login/register forms; advertisements; or just notifications to the user.
However despite the fact that modal windows frequently contain mission critical information, they are routinely created with JavaScript, which does not sit well with the best-practices of progressive enhancement or graceful degration.
This doesn’t need to be a problem, because HTML5 & CSS3 allow us to create modal windows with ease.
What we are going to do is use CSS3’s transition, opacity, pointer-event, and background gradient properties to create a very beautiful and functional modal box.

Unfortunately, you cannot place multiple onload events on a single page. You can nest multiple functions within the one onload call, but what if you need to cascade an onload script across multiple pages, some which may already have an existing onload event? use the addLoadEvent function below.

This formula will help you calculate the hours difference between two times, even when the end time crosses midnight (Ex 7pm - 2am)

@Unique is case-sensitive, so "pear" and "Pear" and "PEAR" in a list will remain as three separate values. The formula below will truly return one value "Pear".

Have you found that your database's full-text index doesn't update immediately when you save a document, even when the frequency setting is set to "IMMEDIATE"?
The UPDATE function on the server checks the queue every 5 seconds for new task requests, however it uses the "Update Suppression Time" setting to wait until multiple, similar requests get deposited in the queue before it runs. This can take up to 15 minutes to execute.
Decreasing the suppression time interval on the server isn't a good solution since it will exponentially increase the load on the server's resources. And it still doesn't solve your problem because even a minute delay could frustrate a web user when their new document doesn't show up in search. So instead, the solution below will fire off the UPDALL routine directly in the server console for the specific database.

There are several reserved fields available.

In the event that a disk has become stuck in your Apple computer, there are several steps you can take to try to force it to eject.

Simple, clean effect that works everywhere.

Use this handy LotusScript function to convert a string from ISO-8859-1 to UFT-8.

You can perform specific word/sentence lookups against Google Translate via the AJAX the function below.

You can override the i18n 639-1 locale code so you can test your international apps.

This problem was caused by a conflict in Dropbox’s cache. Because a file with the same basic name and properties already existed, Dropbox wasn’t able to create the new file on our end. This isn’t always a problem, but it can be if the sun and moon are aligned in a certain way.
Either way, you can solve these issues almost every time by clearing Dropbox’s hidden cache folder. This folder holds gigabytes of miscellaneous data collected during file downloads and sync processes in a series of smaller files with crazy alphanumeric names. This folder should reset itself every three days, though in cases where your Dropbox application is experiencing a conflict, you may not want to wait for the problem to resolve itself.

How to reveal secret hidden files on the Mac OS X desktop: this Mac Finder trick displays hidden files and folders.

You want to use the percent to control the width of td. In each td there is a div which has a 100% width relative to parent element td. If so, the overflow:hidden of div will no effective.

JavaScript contains a handy built-in function, 'escape', that encodes text so that it can appear as part of a URL. For instance, the space character is changed to %20, ampersand to %3B, and so on. The 'unescape' function converts these "percent" codes back to their original representation.
These are helpful functions to have available when you write Domino agents. These agents could use unescape to read arguments from their own URLs, and use escape when they need to print a new URL when they finish execution.

Converts 24-hour time to 12-hour time with an AM or PM designation.

This is a helpful agent when you have a minor memory leak that you can't isolate in your system. Over time, the JVM will eventually fill up and cause an Out-Of-Memory failure and you won't be able to perform any Java remote calls until you reset/restart the JVM to clear the memory. One method to do this is to reboot the entire Domino and/or Windows server, but this takes a lot of time and can't be called via LotusScript. The agent below will check the server log every five minutes and if it finds an out-of-memory error, it sends the "restart task http" command which will restart the entire JVM and notify you via email. This typically takes around 20 seconds to complete, so it's much more efficient that restarting the server.

Domino automatically creates a label for every value in a checkbox or radio button field. You can use this solution on a per form or server level to disable the automatic functionality.

Simple css to dynamically hide the first column in a table that's a child of another object.

Simple way to detect orientation changes and positions.

The code example below was used on a default Domino calendar view template form. It removes the HREF values for the automatically generated links for each day (which annoyingly opens to a dual day view). Just call the function below in the onLoad event. Domino adds a target="_self" to all these links, so you can filter by them.

The java.lang.Double.compareTo() method compares two Double objects numerically. There are two ways in which comparisons performed by this method differ from those performed by the Java language numerical comparison operators (, =, ==, = ) when applied to primitive double values:

Use this when the choices for both field will be the same and you want to have a function that swaps them.

A simple layover popup with all inline styling, no external css.

The R5+ Frameset InfoBox does not contain an HTML Header object for use by the developer - meaning you can't easily include META tags, if you are using a Domino Frameset as your Home Page. Here's a way around it.

This column formula will group the entries into the correct number of weeks. Weeks start with Sunday and it also accounts for the overlap of days at New Year's.

For when you always want to display the full list in edit and read mode. It will show which values are checked.

Use this simple fix is to overcome the bug which prevents you from deselecting the "allow selection of documents" option in a notes view properties.

Use this to randomly pick a single value from a @DBLookup, @DBColumn, or any other list array.

Use this package to create a modal-like popup layer to show text messages or images on the current window. You can customize any of the aesthetics via css and the content window will stretch vertically and horizontally based on the content. Good to avoid popup blockers and keep the user on the same page.

This is code provided by DynamicDrive.com and customized for a custom Lotus Domino implementation. I'm providing the code for my implementation along with the original files and a PDF with the original instructions.

Lets you upload whatever dimension image you want and ensure that it can/will be displayed at a fixed max size limit, regardless of browser, and still maintain the aspect ratio. Some tweaks had to be made from the original documentation regarding IE8 and above. The code below works :)

Works well to encode and decode from @URLencode. Escape characters.

Simple countdown timer in minutes and seconds. 00:00

Use "visibility:hidden" instead of "display:none" since IE can't determine an image size when hidden.

Applies to Safari and Chrome, hopefully IE too one day ;-)

Allows you to trigger an evert when the browser window is resized and use the returned height and width to adjust other objects on the page. For example, you can use it to resize a div box on the page that you always want to be 30px less on each side of the window. Using width =100% and margin doesn't always display consistently across different browsers and edge borders skew the margins. This solution works regardless of margins, padding, and content.
Will work for most browsers (IE, Firefox, Sarari, Chrome, etc...)

Tired of the no-frills way Domino displays attachments on the web for your users? This solution will allow you to choose where and how they're displayed, complete with the appropriate icons. It's setup for an individual deletion button for each file, but could be easily adapted to use checkboxes and allow multiple file deletions. I just prefer single click over the checkboxes and save buttons. I've attached a library of 100+ file type icons in various sizes and a database example. This package is comprised of 8 steps. All the elements above should be hidden in read-mode, except for step 5 which should only be hidden when @Attachments=0.

This is an example of our current GigaChef newsletter. This agent is used for testing and pulls the content and imagery from the document. Both the HTML version and Plain text version are contained within the single email. Emails clients with HTML enabled will automatically display that version, otherwise the plain text version is displayed.

Works in Internet Explorer, Firefox, Sarari, and Chrome.

Retrieve the current webusername from an agent called via OpenAgent and "use current web user"

The java agent code allows you to find a document by UNID and change it to another value. Once run, it will create a new document with that ID. Them you can delete the original.

This is a simple MP3 player that can be embedded into any HTML and play a referenced MP3 file. You just need to upload the attached swf file to the "FILES" design element section and insert your formula/HTML.

The example below is used to inject html bold, italic and hyperlink tags around the highlighted text in a field.

This simple agent stamps two reader fields on every selected document with a static role value.

Drop down menus will not work correctly in IE6 without calling the following function.

How to disable autocomplete on a field

This is a hybrid between my legacy code and ViewProcessor code from Jake Howlett (Codestore.net 2003). The problem with the legacy code was that $$ViewTemplates don't execute WebQuerySave agents. Attached sample database - Used for the INBOX view template to change the status to "unread" or "saved"

Simple mouse event code to change the color when the user places the mouse over the div.

Better lightweight code to toggle the status.

Simple code to change the default message.

Simple @For loop to add placeholder text

A similar situation arises when trying to programmatically replace the design of a Lotus Notes database. IBM doesn't provide a LotusScript method or C-API function to accomplish this task. In fact, the only way to replace a database design is by manually choosing File - Database - Design Replace for each specific database. However, this manual method doesn't make much sense when replacing the design of several databases. The following LotusScript code can be used to replace the design of multiple databases. The script actually deletes all design notes from the target database and copies them from the source database.

Use this automatic code to display all sibling links on a document

A generic LotusScript function to mimic @ReplaceSubstring is described. This is a JavaScript version of that function. It handles several situations. For example:

Use the CSS to automatically ensure that a DIV appears at the bottom of a page.

This code is basic, but works well.

A reverse redirection to prevent HTTPS session.

This tutorial teaches you how to use JavaScript to set an inactivity timer and close a browser window. Provides a warning message using a hidden DIV.

Insert the code below in the onLoad event of the form to automatically hide the last row. Typically used in total views to hide the grand total on the bottom.

This code prevents the user from using the backspace key to page back, but still allows it within text and textbox fields

The formula below translates each value in the "website" field to insert the "http://" prefix if needed. It uses the new @Transform which applies a formula to each value.

the name says it all

Here's a simple countdown timer for the screen using a DIV instead of HTML field

Insert the code in your HTML when generating Microsoft Word documents and Adobe Acrobat PDF files.

Maybe you'd like a page break at a specific point to keep a particular look. You do that by setting up a class of page breaks. You can set up the class on any HTML command, but I think the best method is to set up the class within paragraph tags. That way there's some white space where the page can break. Here's a look at the format (this will sit between your HEAD tags):

Use this code when creating Word documents via HTML from LotusScript. It allows you to pass variables to the Word translation code upon first opening.

This code will allow you to scroll the page in javascript to the current selected object

This is a way to pass a single variable to an agent. Simple modifications can be made to the loop for multiple values.

Basic auto-suggest functionality using only javascript

Auto Suggest with Javascript (#2) from www.go4expert.com

Use this code to add type-ahead functionality for your web text fields. You can use a computed text field to perform @DbLookups or @DbColumns to produce the source datalists. It must be set to multi-valued with a comma delimiter. Each entry field must have a unique "Id" value assigned (example "Ingredient01") The code in the Onload event sets-up each field. The JSHeader code has two sections, the static standard reusable code and the source custom section which you cater to your source computed fields.

Returns the difference in a clean text readable format. Includes both a LotusScript and formula version.

Simple code to append at the end of a function or agent to open up the generated file or other file.

This function will automatically strip out any leading and trailing spacers from a string.

Normal fields can be disabled using a single line of code. Radio button fields require you to loop thru all instances and disable each one.

This method works but has a potential risk of deleting data if the function gets interrupted. Use the property "CutOffDelete" of the class "NotesReplication". When you switch from enable to disable the cutoff date in that field will also be deleted. After that use the method save(). Important: Be sure not to use the method rep.save() when cutoffdelete is set to true! Otherwise this will result in loss of data!!!

Use the three subfunctions below to reformat any amount in a currency format, complete with commas for thousands delimiter and two decimal points. (Example: 12,345.00)

This agent will retrieve the value of the "Added In This File" property of a notes document and populate it in string field for easy reference.

Build a custom date string from today's date

Control twisty URLs in embedded views

The code below will hide all elements with the id="XYZ123"

Helpful when creating links over images without hotspots.

This code was used to manually re-associate two records. The user just selects the two records and the agent code automatically determines which one is the parent and which one is the child. Then it performs the re-association and saves.

This was used to re-associate "database access profiles" to each user's "user profile"

The code example below hides some hyperlinks based on the users operating system

To detect the operating system on the client machine, your script should analyze the navigator.appVersion string. Below is a simple example of a script that sets the variable OSName to reflect the actual client OS.

This is a sample OK/Cancel prompt for the user to proceed, which includes carriage returns ( \n ).

A date string with a day of the 15th or last day (28th, 29th, 30th, 31st) is provided and a dynamic array with 24 cycles is created starting with that date.

Use this easy code to click another button. The target button can be hidden via javascript and contain Notes formula functions.

This code works, but need to review it later for differences.

Drop this code into a view action button or agent. It will automatically create the fields based on the first row values of the XLS file. The only configurable variable that needs to be set is the desired form name for the new records. THIS ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THIS CODE FROM VERSION 1 IS THAT IT WILL STRIP OUT ANY/ALL SPACES FROM THE FIELDNAMES AUTOMATICALLY.

Drop this code into a view action button or agent. It will automatically create the fields based on the first row values of the XLS file. The only configurable variable that needs to be set is the desired form name for the new records.

This code consists of one parent function and two child sub functions.
Example 100,000.00

Javascript sometimes treats checkbox fields differently if they only have one value. It's treated as an array if multi-values exist and a standard string field if only one exists, thus the method of selecting and deselecting all must account for this. The code below checks the length of the fieldname object. A single value will return false to a length call.

Will return the full text string for a date (December 31, 2005) when passed a date string value.

The code below was placed in an agent to re-associate user responses (children) to a different data request (parent). The variables and conditions can be easily modified to suit your needs

can be used in field and form events

You can call this from within the field itself or from other fields

This formula will count the total weekdays between two days.

Just drop the function below and make the call as shown below. You can either replace each value with a tilde (~) or HTML hex codes.

This code will execute very efficiently on the web to retrieve collections of documents based off a date range the user specifies. It uses the DateRange class as the key for the view. The view may not be categorized, otherwise inconsistent results will be returned.

Simple formula to dynamically sort by Fiscal Year

The code below, when dropped into a LotusScript view action button, will dump the entire view contents to Microsoft Excel. This has been modified from a previous version which had a few glitches. This revised code will account for any/all hidden columns and truly export the value being displayed in the view column (fixes date issues).

Reads and rewrite the contents of a cell table. It sets the HTML contents of the cell to an array and then rewrites all the content except for the 1st and last 2 indexs of the arrays.

Reads and re-write the contents of a cell table. It removes the first X characters before re-writing.

Loops through all the options and stops when if finds the desired value, in this case, "Finland" and marks it as selected.

This code allows you to embed a second page on the existing page in a new layer on top.

The code below, when used in a view action button, will dynamically export the entire contents of the view to a text file in the C:\Temp directory. The user will be prompted for the desired filename and if they wish to include the column titles as headers. The code will retrieve the actual values displayed in the view, not the back-end fields, which is helpful when columns are combined field and text values. Also is helpful with date formats, ensure that date fields export in the format consistent with the user's local settings.

Will generate an auto countdown timer to whatever date/time you specify

The PostOpen event code below will populate the "CurrentRoles" field when the document is opened.

This functionality saves your users time from having to remove the default placeholder value each time they go to populate the field. An date field example has been provided below. MM/DD/YYYY are pre-populated in the fields and automatically disappear when the cursor moves the the field. The code example below was used on the "YYYY" field and the "this" handle allows you drop this code in any field without having to have specific field references.

Insert the HTML Style code below at the top of the page and then insert either dontprint or printonly in the class property of the design element.

R6 has trouble getting a handle on the currentdocument from the NotesUIWorkspace. The example below was is a dialog box that was called from an agent. The solution was to use the source handle on the notesuidocument rather than retrieve it from the uiworkspace

Ideal code to add the the for OnLoad event

Set the KeyField below to the field containing the target month.

Display negative excel exported values in parenthesis and in red

Use these tags when exporting to excel via the web. The full Microsoft Word documentation with screen-shots has been attached below.

Insert the code below in the onLoad event and the page will refresh itself out until it is no longer contained in a frame.

Use this code when you only want a subset of the documents to have checkboxes available in a web view. The view property "Allow selection of documents" will display checkboxes for all documents. You can nest the code below in an if statement that checks for different form types or other flag fields.

Provide the user with a file selection prompt and set the specified file path to the field "filename".

Use the code to apply your own attributes to a document link in a view, such as target, class, style, etc...

Place the code in frameA to print frameb

Insert the code below when you want to select all documents in a embedded web view that has the "Allow Selection of Documents" option enabled. Check the boolean value from true to false for a Deselect All button.

The steps below outline how to process the selected documents of a view. Normally, the selected documents option is used for deletion of documents
where a simple action button with the formulas @Command(MoveToTrash) & @Command(EmptyTrash) will do the trick, but allowing the user to perform much more complex functions on the selected documents requires much more. Embedded views in Domino create a (on-the-fly) multi-valued field called $$SelectDoc, which contains all the DocumentUniqueID's of the selected documents. However, the values of this field are only transferred to a physical notes field when the document is saved by using a javascript submit button. Using @Command(FileSave) will not populate the values.

Insert the code shown below in the onKeyPress event of the form.

The code below will loop thru all the selected documents in a web view (embedded or standard).
(1) Verifies than documents have actually been selected and prompts the user if none have been.
(2) Prompts the user with an OK/Cancel window if the wish to proceed.
(3) Loops thru the collection and only processes unique documents (helpful if you have the same document shown multiple times when showing multiple values as seperate entries).
(4) For each unique document, the code launches an agent in the "AFrame" frame and passes the selected documents UNID variable via the URL.
(5) The code will shortly pause after each call to the agent to allow process time.
(6) Finally, the code refreshes the agent frame to blank and reloads itself.

Can be used in place of Yes/No prompt.

Use the code below to call the users Print dialog box in the broswer for the selected page

The code below was used in a looping process to delay between each action.

The code was used in a popup window to refresh the parent when then popup was unloaded.

This code is used in the onLoad event of a popup window once a choice has been selected. The code automatically forces the parent window (frame) to refresh and closes itself.

Forces the user to satisfy the requirements of the popup window. (note: OnBlur events may only work on some browsers)

Use the values below in the HTML Attibutes event for a field to limit it's physical size and maximum number of characters.

The code below will remove the value of the username variable from the Members field in the group document in the nab.

This code will strip out all the specified characters from a single or multi-value field, while preserving the multiple values. Just enter the code below into your field InputTranslation event.

Use of @ReplaceSubstring to make filepaths acceptable for URL paths

The buttons below will add the groups from one field and assign each group the corresponding role from the role field. The index of each group and role must match for proper entry.

The example below returns "Wednesday February 26, 2003"

The code below was used to pass the child's parent document ID to the agent. The agent used the UNID to get a handle on the parent document and extract the attachment.

Normally, files such as PDF's and XLS will open directly in the browser without prompting the user. The agent below will force the browser to provide the open/save dialog box when downloading files from the web.

The example below was used in Global Data Collect. It performs four steps:
(1) Sets the flag fields and download date
(2) Saves/posts the document which refreshes in the browser to show the new status
(3) OnSubmit checks which button was pressed and sends a URL to the browser (after the refresh) to download the file.
(4) The background agent extracts the UNID from the URL string, gets a handle on the parent document, sends a print statement to the browser to force the open/save dialog box (otherwise PDFs would open in browser automatically), and finally sends the file URL to the browser to kick off the download.

The example below uses a global variable to track which web button the user clicked. In the example below, the agent referenced is only launched when the user clicks the "Download" button. This is required since both buttons perform a @Command(FileSave) command. The major point of this is that you can save and refresh the document by using formula and still have a background agent product output which is normally not possible.

There's a bug with R5 which causes files to close when the DialogBox function is used. For example: A text file has been opened and is being used for data retrieval. When the BEFORE script below is evaluated, the user is prompted with the Dialogbox and then clicks OK or CANCEL. Regardless of the user's selection, the text file will be closed and the preceeding process will cause a "File Not Open" error. A solution around this is to use the new PROMPT function in R5 to replace Dialogbox. However, this new PROMPT script will not work in previous versions. So the solution is to check the version of Notes currently being used, use DIALOGBOX if R4 and PROMPT if R5 or higher.
