Javascript in Lotus

[nur_afini]

Just want to ask... Is it possible if I want to use Javascript in Lotus application development to replace the LotusScript entirely. These question is raised up by my superior, and as I am new to Lotus Domino environment, I do not know the possibility of replacing LotusScript with Javascript entirely in application development.

Javascript is used only in XPages development. When desiging in XPages, you can use Javascript for 99% of what LotusScript did, and its getting more complete with each release ... basically LotusScript is for classic Lotus Development (forms, views, etc) and Javascript is for XPage development, which is the future for Notes/Domino development.

You can use javascript in many places, for example in forms and in fields, even in cleinet applications. I use javascript in all my phone number fields to automatically reformat the number entered when the user leave the field. Simply put javascript in the onBlur event. You can even use different javascript for client and web access.
