Sorry for the problems with the 0.1.3 release. I had done a total rewrite using the sarissa sourceforge project for this release. In the process I broke the code for the views/outlines for IE and I forgot to remove some examples that no longer worked since they depended on the old code.
I just posted the 0.1.3b release at OpenNTF so go check it out if you can. The more feedback I get, the better. To be honest, I'm really shocked at the feedback and those that are currently using it. This is great and the more of you that can use this the better. Perhpas if I get enough users of this, I'll have more ground to stand on to get IBM/Lotus to fix a few issues and to add a few enhancements to the DXL support they currently provide from the web server for views and outlines. My biggest want from them is to have xml returned from doing a search on a view. If they could just do this, then I won't have to write agents to do the searching for me in order to get xml returned!!! Oh, that would be grand indeed!!!
Well, for those who are curious to know what else is in this release.....not much! :-). Seriously though, since I removed some of the examples from the template itself, I decided to include the demo database that uses DWT. The way I envision DWT being used, is that it will be a standalone database that your other domino web apps reference. I've even encluded a profile form that you can copy and past from DWT into your database. This profile form has two fields at the moment. One to define the name of the files db that will contain pictures uploaded when using the Rich Text editor and the other, more important field to define the name of the DWT db that you have created on your server. You can either type in the full path + name from the data directory or you can put in a relative path, relative to the application that contains the profile doc.
Hopefully this isn't too confusing for everyone. Eventually, I'll have a help db to go along with the template and the demo db. Until then, you can shoot me an email or post a comment here if you have any questions.
Hi Jack,
Nice work with this set of tools! I recently wrote a Domino based CRM application for my company that used the view applet. It worked fine for us in R5 but new bugs in D6 are forcing me to replace it with something else. There are over 50 visible user views in the application and we're using another utility from SWING Integrator to export the views to Excel. So I wasn't excited about converting all of these views using custom HTML in the view designs. It looks like the work that you're doing with XML/XSL may fit the bill. I've downloaded your demo database, but I'm having some trouble getting it to work on my server. The outline shows up ok, but it tries to load a view it says "The system cannot locate the object specified" when it gets to this line "var sResult = xmlDoc.transformNode(xslDoc);" in commonXMLfunctions.js. I think this is some kind of path problem. Both the demo and the files db are in the data folder and I've updated the profile doc with the file names. I'm using IE6 to open the view. Any ideas?
Again, thanks much for all the work that you've done here.

Jack,
I can't get the most recent version of DWT working. I'm running ND6 but I'm consistently getting a JavaScript error at the following line...
var sResult = xmlDoc.transformNode(xslDoc);
Any ideas/help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
