Overview of this book

Domino is an application server that can be used as a standalone web server. As part of the Domino suite, it provides a powerful collaborative platform for the development of customized business applications. It provides enterprise-grade e-mail, messaging, and scheduling capabilities. There are many novice and moderately experienced developers who would like to enhance a Web-enabled Domino application, but to do so they need to learn the fundamentals of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and also how to use those technologies in the context of a Domino application. Information about how to do this is available on the Web, but the sheer volume of that information makes it very difficult for the newbie to get started. Topics and techniques presented in this book provide a comprehensive overview of all major design strategies used to Web-enable traditional Domino applications. Illustrations provide clear working examples of how HTML, CSS, and JavaScript can be incorporated into existing applications to improve both look and performance. Early chapters provide suggestions for working with users and for managing your development time and effort. Later chapters focus in detail on forms and pages, views, navigation, agents, security, performance, and troubleshooting. Examples demonstrate clearly how to incorporate HTML, CSS, and JavaScript into Domino designs. By the end of this book you will have learned what you need to know to quickly and competently tackle web application enhancement tasks. Beyond providing a good understanding, this book will continue to serve as a valuable source of ideas and techniques. This book brings together essential classic strategies and techniques used to deploy Domino applications to the Web. Chapters cover all major design elements, with a special emphasis on how to craft these elements to work well with web browsers. Many topics include alternative techniques for solving particular problems. Illustrations and examples can be used where appropriate, or they can serve as jumping off points for your own solutions.

Chapter 6. JavaScript

JavaScript is the programming language used to manipulate web pages in browsers. It is the technology that puts the "dynamic" into Dynamic HTML. Learning JavaScript is essential for anyone enhancing or developing web applications, and of course, it is well integrated into the fabric of Domino web development.

If you already have a good grasp of JavaScript, your focus should be on how to incorporate JavaScript into Domino applications. There is no special version of JavaScript for Domino, but how you work with JavaScript in this environment may seem a little foreign.

In classic Domino applications, JavaScript worked only in browsers. Version 8.5 changed this, and set the stage for using JavaScript in server-side agents. This chapter focuses on using JavaScript in the classic sense, to manipulate form and page elements in browsers. Code samples are intended to illustrate concepts and strategies but not finished products. Use the samples as starting points for your own...
