What should I work on next?

Just got back from a nice trip to the beach. I'm feeling refreshed and energized. Before I had left on vacation I had been working on refactoring all of my code for Domino Web Views/Outlines into custom JavaScript Objects. I plan on finishing this by the weekend but I need some ideas of what to work on next. I thought about fixing the code so that you can have "portal views". I would use Ajax techniques to allow the developers to layout a web page to include more than one view. Another thought would be to add support for calendar views. What's your vote?

What should I work on next?

Way to go Bob!

You gotta hop over to Bob O'Bringer's site and read his article on Ajax NotesView Object functions. I'm in the process of refactoring all of my Ajax code for Domino web views/outlines using JavaScript Objects. I'm not a JavaScript OO guru but I'm really liking what I'm learning. It's good to see other people doing the same.

My current version of Ajax web views required the user to create and pass an associative array for all of the custom properties of the Ajax view. I'm changing this to instead have the user create a new dwtView Object. This dwtView object has properties such as:

  • expandIcon - what icon graphic to display in order to expand a category
  • collapseIcon - what icon graphic to display in order to collapse a category
  • bExpandCategoryShowAllChildren - true|false - tells whether a all children should be display when a category is expanding
  • xsl - a way for the developer to override my default xsl stylesheet with there own
  • viewURI - the url to the view you wish to load, if you don't provide one the defaul is to use the location.href

    • There will probably be more and I'll blog about them soon. But again, kudos to Bob on what he is also doing.

    Way to go Bob!

    Ajax meets DWT flat views
    Well, not too many of you have seemed interested in my Ajax views so I guess I'm just doing this for myself. :-) Anyway, last week I added the ability to expand multiple categories in a single category domino view. This week I added the ability to dynamically fetch view data as a user scrolls down in a flat view. You can see it live here. Ajax meets DWT flat views
