Month: August 2005

Based on the feedback I have received in regards to the annoucement of LotusScript.doc I think it is safe to say that this is a tool developers has been missing. I have received a number of e-mails from people who would like to enroll as “beta-testers” so that’s very nice.

I plan to start the beta-program on Monday and then target a release to the community the coming week (15 August). I just need to finish up the user documentation before sending the application to the beta-testers.

Stay tuned…

This blog post is to introduce LotusScript.doc to the Notes developer community. LotusScript.doc is a tool I wrote that aims to be for LotusScript what javadoc is for Java.

Why LotusScript.doc?

Notes applications are very hard and time consuming to document. When we think about documenting Notes applications we normally only document the actual application (the user manual) since there isn’t a standard way of documenting the LotusScript code – until now…

LotusScript.doc is a Notes application you can use to generate HTML documentation for LotusScript code in Notes databases. The produced format is the same as for javadoc.

To find out more head over to the project website at www.lsdoc.org.

Quite interesting blog post about what the Class.forName in JDBC access code actually does. As the author also starts by noting I knew it loaded the driver but how and why… Via cephas.net.

Combing the DOM (Document Object Model) with JavaScript makes it easy to dynamically build the TOC. Now I only have to add extra sections and they are automatically added to the TOC. Clicking the item in the TOC will go to the section on the page.

An easy solution. Nice.

Code

[<ul id="toc"></ul>

function buildTOC() {
   // get bullet list holder
   var toc = document.getElementById("toc");

   // get all anchors on the page
   var anchors = document.anchors;
   for (var i=0; i]
