Domino Designer provides developers with a choice of two kinds of action bar for their Web pages: they can use Domino’s HTML action bar, or they can use the Java-based action bar applet. The applet overcomes some of the limitations of the HTML bar, but it has a major limitation of its own. Unlike the HTML bar, it cannot be dynamically modified at runtime using native Domino methods. In this article, you’ll see how you can dynamically modify the action bar applet using some simple JavaScript code and a custom Java component. The sample database contains everything you need to implement the solution and is available for download from THE VIEW Web site.
