First, I’ll address the accessibility side of the menu. To make the menu available to screen readers, the menu options are placed in standard HTML ordered and unordered lists. Each list element has clickable text that takes you to the appropriate location. I’ll omit the actual HREF values (you can view the source and see them for yourself), but here is the HTML used to generate the menu:

In Lotus Notes Web, You’re probably familiar with the famous formula:
@ReplaceSubstring(@Subset(@DbName; -1); “\\” : ” “; “/” : “+”)
which will take the path to the current database and make it “browser-friendly”.
After getting sick of adding this to every single link and image tag that needed it, we decided there had to be a better way.

Lotus Notes Web – This code was found on a Visual Basic web site and converted to LotusScript. It is a LotusScript class that allows you to convert a host name to its IP address. To use, create a new HostName object.
Then check the IPAddress property of the new object to get the IP address. The property is a string.

Although we have heard of an @-function that will decode a URL, but it is undocumentend at this time. In the mean time, here is a generic LotusScript function that will decode any URL.
Update: We have been made aware that the older version of this function did not handle Unicode characters. They are encoded with a “%u” prefix and include 4 hex characters after the “%u”. The version below supports Unicode characters.

The document I was updating was a profile document in the other database (not the one where the agent was running). One field on the profile is a path to the database – in the form of “http://server_host_name/” + @WebDbName. I couldn’t use a computed field with “compute with form” because the server host name couldn’t be looked up. In my script I would compute the host name (I had a hard-coded table of servers and hosts names) inside the script and then set the field value. How did I do the @WebDbName part since my agent was running in another database?

If you are opening up a view in a browser, not using the Java applet (because the Java applet takes so much longer to open, especially over a phone line) and wish to have alternate row colors (yes, Rnext does this, but this is for those of you not on Rnext yet) then this is one way to do it. There are several ways to accomplish this, so this is by no means the only way.
