Hi folks. We could use some assistance with a nagging problem – combobox choices with aliases don’t seem to work well on a XPage (we’re using 8.5.2). Our combobox gets its values from a keyword lookup. The list that comes back has aliases, like "Male|M".  We want to use the "Male" value for display, and save the "M" to the document on submit. The choice list shows the display values (like “Male”).  When the Xpage is submitted, the value that is POSTed (Firebug to the rescue!) is "Male", ra

I have a repeat control and need to loop through the items in it.  Not the type of items.  the .getchildren method appears to do that, but I actually want to loop through all of the components and get values from them.  specifically I have a repeat control bound to a vector of 30 items, the repeat control contains a checkbox control that then repeats 30 times.  I have  button, once clicked I would like to loop through the 30 checkboxes and grab the values from them.  Any thoughts on how to do t

I have a multi-line control that is bound to a text field.  When I type comments into a field and go to later view the field on a web page - each space is converted to non-breaking spaces -  .   Why does it do this and how can this be prevented.  It's not wrapping correctly and throwing off the layout of the page.   Thanks!

I have found a cool slideshow on the internet at http://flowplayer.org/tools/demos/tabs/slideshow.htm You can download the sample as a html file. I put the html file in a notesdatabase as a recourse en of course when I open the resource in the browser it works. In the source of a Xpage you can paste html, but pasting the source code from the html file in the source of the xpage is't working. There are head and body tags etc etc in it. How can I make it work in a Xpage? Does it make a difference

I'm working with a repeat control and I'd like to make each "row" clickable anywhere.  The repeat contains a custom control that isn't a typically view/grid but is repeating "blocks" from left to right.   The custom control has a panel so I can apply a style class nicely and force the size of the "block".  Inside the panel I have a table to show fields from a document. I attached code to the table's "onclick" event to open a related document.  But since the table isn't filliing up the block com

I have a text field on a Xpage. This field has a validateRequired that has a message that shows up when the user tries to submit and the field is blank. I show the message with a Display Errors Core Control. Till here everything is simple, but I like to color the fields background also red when the user is trying to submit when the field is blank. How can I do this?

I have a view control displaying the first column as link. I want the clicked document to open with the form it was created with.   I see the property "At runtime, open selected document using". But the value I see is "XPage associated with the document's form". I tried giving the form name of the document which didn't work.   I guess in 8.5 version there was an option "The document's default form or page" which is what I really need.   Any idea how to accomplish this in 8.5.1? 

I have a suit of 10 databases in my application. I am currently migrating the design to XPages. My intention is to allow users to take local replica copies of these databases and let them work off-line. ( For few security reasons, we cannot use DOLS as the off-line solution )   So far I converted one of the main screens in the application to XPage. It works great in both Browser & Client. But I am facing one issue here.   There are several areas where I need to pull data from the other database

On a Custom Control I have a repeat Control that is bound to a NotesView.   The second column of the view is a date field.    I can access the date and time with the formula:    rowData.getColumnValues()[1]    If I put this value into a Label control - it displays just fine, however, I can't change the formatting of the date/time.     If I create a computed field then there are options to format the date/time via the "Display Type" dropdown, but my computed field stays blank.  Like there's no v

In the Notes Client, the URL to show an image  using the computed field (content-type html) instead of using an image control is the following.   /xsp/ServerName!!DbPath/imagename   This works fine for me. Now, I am trying to open an attachment and having difficulty in figuring out the correct URL for it. I need to open the attachment in an iframe. The html for the same is coded in a computed field (content-type html). I tried the following syntax(es).   /xsp/ServerName!!DbPath/ViewName/Key/$Fi
