How to Process Selected Documents from a Domino Web View
by André Guirard


from THE VIEW, November/December 2000, Volume 6, Issue 6

The new View applet in Domino R5 makes it easy for application developers to display a view in a Web browser that users can scroll through, select documents from, and ... then what? Once documents have been selected, users can flag them for deletion, of course, but can they use action buttons to modify selected documents “while they wait”? It can be done. In this article, you get a tour of a job posting database in which browser users can manage documents by means of action buttons or hotspots. The database itself is available for free download.

This sample Job Posting database enables browser users to modify Domino documents by means of action buttons or hotspots that process the documents and update the browser view in real time

Note! If using this code with Domino server version 5.0.8 or later, edit the
AgentRunner form and delete the following line:

<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="Documents">

It is no longer necessary for you to supply the tag as pass-thru HTML (and in fact,
doing so makes the agent runner not work, due to an excess of Documents
fields).
