Finally! CKEditor integration with Lotus Domino
Tue, Sep 15th 2009 3:47p Tommy Valand It's been over a year since I posted my demoapp of FCKEditor-integration with Lotus Domino. The CKEditor (the new and improved!!! version of FCKEditor) has been out for a little while now. At first, the upload integration wasn't documented, so I didn't want to waste time reverse engineering the functionality. I got a mail a couple of days ago from a reader about CKEditor-integration with Domino.

XPages Custom Control - getComponent/hash of all clientIds from the browser
Tue, Sep 15th 2009 1:48p Tommy Valand Until IBM implements getComponent in the browser, I've made a litte experimental custom component that lets you do something similar to getComponent in server side scripting. The component adds a script-tag at the bottom of the page, using the output stream that you get from facesContext. The API is small: Application.renderedIds An object containing { designerId: clientId(s) } for all (?) components in the XPage.

Enhanced HTML generation in Domino 8.5
Fri, Sep 4th 2009 7:01a Tommy Valand With Domino 8.5 web applications, there is a setting that lets you enable "Enhanced HTML generation". This generates markup closer to the HTML specifications. Another nice thing about it is that some of the design elements (views, actionbar, outline, etc.) gets a class-attribute on its generated HTML. For instance, the action bar table gets a domino-actionbar class. No more hacks needed to style the action bar.. I haven't found a complete documentation of all the generated classes.
