This chapter gives an overview of the Domino Web server, a product that transforms a Notes server into an Internet Web site. ao Web server -- Introduces the Domino Web server and describes how it works.
Chapter 9: Domino Administrator's Information -- Describes how to set up and administer a Domino Web server whose applications can be browsed on the Internet.
Chapter 10: Domino User's Information -- Contains information about browsing a Web site created with Domino.
Chapter 11: Domino Application Developer's Information -- Provides tips about developing a Web site using Domino.
This chapter tells how to install, configure, and use the Domino Web server software, register Web users, and set up security on the server.
Follow these steps to set up a basic Domino Web server.
Double Click to activate !!
1. Verify that your system meets all the
requirements
Click here to see this topic
to run a Domino Web server.
2. Install Notes Release 4.x server software and run Notes Server Setup. (See the
Lotus Notes
Install Guide for ServersH
for instructions.)
Double Click to activate !!
3. (Optional)
Create content that serves as the site's entry point
Click here to see this topic
if you don't already have a home page. A customized home page can be an About document, navigator, view, or document in a "home" database or an HTML file that contains links to the site's databases.C

fields:
TCP/IP port number: This is the port through which HTTP transactions occur between Web clients and the Domino Web server. 80 is the industry standard port and is the default for all browsers.
TCP/IP port status: The TCP/IP port must be enabled to allow standard, non-SSL Web connections.
Host name: Web clients use this name to reach the server. This is either the host name (such as the server name domino.lotus.com) as registered by a Domain Name Service or the server's permanent IP address (such as 123.110.200.203). If you leave this field blank, Domino uses the host name specified in the operating system's TCP/IP stack. For a Windows NT machine, you can verify the name by looking at the TCP settings on the Network Configuration tab of the Control panel.I
Double Click to activate !!
6. Verify that
mapping settings
Click here to see this topic
in the HTTP Server section are correct for these fields:
HTML directory: Domino looks in this directory for any existing HTML files. Users can access URLs that are in the HTML directory and its subdirectories. Unless you specify a full path, the directory is relative to the Notes data directory.
CGI directory: Stores CGI programs that Domino can use. Unless you specify a full path, the directory is relative to the Notes data directory.
Double Click to activate !!
If you already have HTML files or CGI scripts, copy them to the default Domino directories or use
directory mapping
Click here to see this topic
to tell Domino where to find the existing directories.
7. Indicate the site's home by either naming a Home URL (for a database-styled home page) or a Default home page (for an existing HTML file) in the HTTP Server section.
Home URL: Indicates which URL Domino retrieves when users go to a site without specifying a directory or path--for example, by entering http://domino.lotus.com. The default "/?Open" displays a list of databases on the server.
If you created a custom Home page in Notes in Step 3, enter its URL in this field. For example, this URL displays the About document from Our Home database:
/ourhome.nsf/$Abouto
Default home page: To use an HTML file you already have rather than creating one in Notes, indicate its name here. The file needs to be in the Domino HTML directory and the Home URL field must be blank. For example, this entry loads the file index.htm from the Domino HTML directory:
index.htm
8. Close and save the Server document.
9. Start the Notes server.
10. Start the Domino Web server by typing at the Notes server console:

The Domino Web Server installs automatically when you install or download the Notes Server software. Before installing, check that the machine meets the following requirements.
System requirements
Domino works with Notes Release 4.x, and has the same system requirements. See the following documentation for the Notes Release 4.x system requirements:
Lotus Notes Install Guide for Workstations
Lotus Notes Install Guide for ServersH
Network requirements
The machine on which you install Domino should have the following network connectivity:
A connection to a company LAN or Intranet that uses TCP/IP as a protocol.D
TCP/IP on the Notes server where the Domino software resides.s
If you plan to use Domino to manage an external Web site, you'll need:
An Internet connection through a leased-line or dial-up connection to an Internet Service Provider (ISP).I
Connecting to the Internet raises potential security risks. Create and maintain a secure environment by installing a firewall or creating separate internal and external networks.
For more information on networks and protocols, see the
The Domino files do not occupy much disk space; the hardware requirements include disk space allocated for the file cache and log files.

HTTP Mapping settings indicate the location of HTML files for the Domino Web server. If you host several sites on one machine, the Virtual Server document overrides these settings.
HTML directory (default=domino\html)
Specify the directory location for HTML files. The directory is relative to the Notes data directory unless a full path is specified.
Home URL (default=/?Open)
Specify the URL for the About document, navigator, or database you want Domino to return when users enter a site name but do not specify an explicit directory or page name (for example, http://domino.lotus.com). Using the default setting, /?Open, Domino displays a list of databases on the server. This is equivalent to the File - Database - Open command in Notes.
If you already have an HTML home page, leave this field blank and enter the HTML file name in the Default home page field instead.
Specifying a URL that begins with a / (slash) causes Domino to return the URL information directly to the browser. The browser still displays http://hostname.domain.com/ in the location box.
Specifying URLs that start with a protocol such as http://someotherhost.domain.com/ causes Domino to send a redirected URL to the browser. That is, the browser performs an HTTP GET request on the specified URL. The information in the browser's location box then changes to what is specified in this field.
Examples: /domino.nsf
/dominodisc.nsf/By+Author@
/dominodisc.nsf/$About
http://myhost.domain.com/home/myhome.html
CGI URL path (default= /cgi-bin)
Specify the URL path to the CGI programs directory. Note that this path relates to URLs and not the file system.
CGI directory (default=domino\cgi-bin)
Specify the directory location for CGI program files. The directory is relative to the Notes data directory unless a full path is specified.
Icon URL Path (default=/icons)
Specify the URL path to the Domino icons directory. Note that this path relates to URLs and not the file system. In general, you do not need to modify the icons fields. However, if you have an existing icons directory, specify the path to the directory here.
Path to icons (default=domino\icons)
Specify the directory location for the icons directory. The directory is relative to the Notes data directory unless a full path is specified.

vailable. The more power your machine has,
The Logging settings in the Server document allow you to customize logging for the Domino Web server.
Access log (default=blank)
Specify the path and/or the file name where you want the Domino server to log access statistics. Note that the path is relative to the Notes data directory. Domino writes an entry to this log each time a client sends the server a request. Use the
No log
option if you do not want to log requests from certain clients.
The default is blank which means that Domino does not log access requests.
Examples:
c:\domino\access
Or, if you've created a Logs directory from the Notes data directory:
domino\logs\access
Error log (default=blank)
Specify the path and the file name where you want the Domino server to log internal errors. Note that the path is relative to the Notes data directory.
The Domino server also puts the CGI error log file named cgi_error on the same path you specify here. The Domino server writes standard error (stderr) from CGI programs to the cgi_error log.
Examples:
c:\domino\error
Or, if you've created a Logs directory from the Notes data directory:
domino\logs\error
Time stamp (default=LocalTime)
Specify whether the log files should record entries using local time or Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
No Log (default=blank)
Use this option for both Domino Log files or a Domino Log database to specify host names or domains whose access requests you do not want to log. It's not always necessary to collect log information on the number of times a host accesses your site.
Specify the IP number or host name template in this field.
Examples:
template
128.141.*.*V
*.cern.ch
*.ch *.fr *.it
To assign the same setting to template names, separate them by one or more spaces.
To use host name templates, you must enable the DNS Lookup setting (in the Basics area of the Server document). If the DNS Lookup option is disabled, you can use IP address templates only.
HTTP Mapping settings indicate the location of HTML files for the Domino Web server. If you host several sites on one machine, the Virtual Server document overrides these settings.
{bmcc:\internet\online\mapping.bmp}n
HTML directory (default=domino\html)
Specify the directory location for HTML files. The directory is relative to the Notes data directory unless a full path is specified.e
Starting the server manually
1. Start the Notes server.
2. At the console, enter the command
load http
Starting the server automatically
To start Domino automatically whenever the Notes server starts, do the following:
1. Shut down the Notes server.
2. In a text editor, open the NOTES.INI file.
3. At the end of the ServerTasks= line that begins with ServerTasks= add a comma and the command http. For example:
ServerTasks=Replica, Router, Update, Stats, http
4. Save and close the file.
5. Restart the server so the changes take effect.
Stopping the server
To stop Domino, enter this command at the console:
tell http quittion for the icons directory.
After you complete installation, specify your configuration settings, and start Domino, use a Web browser to access the Domino server and verify that the install procedure was successful.
1. Make sure that the Notes server and Domino are running.
2. In the Web browser location box, enter the host name you specified in the Server document. For example, to access the Domino site, you would enter http://domino.lotus.com.
If you specified a Home URL in the Server document, Domino displays the page you specified. For example, to access the Domino site home page, Domino displays the results of the following URL: http://domino.lotus.com/domino.nsf?OpenDatabase.
Next steps
Now that you accessed your home page, you may want to consider applying some security controls to the site, and some general administrative tasks, such as enabling and monitoring the Domino log files. The following sections describe these tasks.
elative to the Notes data directory. Domino writes an
If you are an ISP or corporate intranet administrator who provides services to multiple customers, you can set up virtual servers that make a single Domino Web server look like many Web servers. This allows you to maintain separate sites without incurring the expense of additional hardware and software. f
Each site can be configured in Domino to have its own IP address, Home URL, Default home page and HTML, CGI, and Icons directories, but the Notes data directory structure is the same for all virtual servers.
Before configuring the virtual server settings in Domino, you must set up the network connections for each virtual server. Each virtual server must have its own separate, permanent numeric IP address. It is not sufficient to have multiple names mapped to the same IP address.,
mplate
To establish a new site on a multi-site server, create a Virtual Server document in the Domino Web Server Configuration database. Domino overrides the corresponding Server document settings in favor of the Virtual Server settings.
If you don't already have a Domino Configuration database, create one using the Domino Web Server Configuration template (domcfg.ntf). The database must be named domcfg.nsf.
1. Open the Configuration database and choose Create - Virtual Server.
2. Enter in the unique IP address for the site.
3. (Optional) Add a brief description of the site.
4. Assign a Home URL for this virtual server's site.
5. (Optional) Choose separate directories and paths to this site if they need to be different from the generic Server document settings.
6. Save the document and restart the Domino server.
You can keep HTML files, CGI scripts, and other related Web files in multiple locations or move them to new locations without breaking URL links or changing Server or Virtual Server documents.
Use the Mapping and Redirection forms in the Domino Configuration database to:
Disguise the actual location of a directory and specify read or execute access to its files
Map collections of URLs to a new location
Redirect a URL to another URL
If you don't already have a Domino Web Server Configuration database, create one using the Domino Web Server Configuration template (domcfg.ntf). The database must be named domcfg.nsf.
This example maps all image file requests to the default Domino images directory.
URL path: /images2
Directory: c:\notes\data\domino\icons

This example maps requests for scripts to the default Domino CGI directory for one virtual server.

Domino allows you to give Web users access to your Notes system, while still protecting the information with a wide range of Notes security features. In fact, using Notes as a Web-site-building tool lets you take advantage of security features that aren't available with other Web builders.
To implement security for Notes applications on the Web:
Create Person documents for all Web users whose identity you want to verify. These Person document include HTTP passwords to enable Web user access and authentication.
Decide how to handle anonymous users.
Add optional encryption to HTTP transactions by activating the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) at the server.
Set up security for individual databases and, optionally, for their views, forms, or fields.
Domino does not allow "passthru" to other Notes servers. Web users can access databases only on the Domino server.
There are a few differences in security features when you add the Domino server software to a Notes server.

Registering Web users to set up user authentication
Click here to see this topic
Users are granted access to the Domino Web Server through basic authentication, the standard for Web security that is based on a challenge/response protocol. Web users are challenged for a user name and password; after giving the correct response, they are given access to the Web site's databases.
Web users are authenticated only when they attempt to do something for which access is restricted. For example, when users try to open a database whose default access is No Access, they are challenged by the server to supply a valid user name and password.
Authentication succeeds if the user name and password supplied by the user match the appropriate fields in the Person document of the Public Address Book on the Domino Web server and if the user is listed individually or as part of a group in the database access control list.
Although basic Web authentication is not considered as secure as Notes public key certificate-based authentication (because it doesn't involve a certifier who validates the client's identity), it does allow Domino to serve users through the Internet who are not running Notes workstation software.i

Any Web user who doesn't supply a name and password is known by the name "anonymous." The server administrator and individual database managers decide what level of database access anonymous users have.
Preventing server access by anonymous Web users
If the administrator selects No for "Allow anonymous HTTP connections" in the Security section of the Server document, all anonymous Web users receive an "authorization failure" message when they access the server. This setting overrides individual database access controls for anonymous users.
Giving database access to anonymous Web users
To make a database available to anonymous Web users, create an "Anonymous" entry in the access control list and assign it the appropriate access: Reader access for an information database or Author for an interactive database unless there is a specific security concern. If the access control list for a database does not contain an "Anonymous" entry, all anonymous users receive the Default access.
Preventing database access by anonymous Web users
To protect a database from anonymous Web users, create an "Anonymous" entry in each database's access control list and assign it "No Access."
Requiring a name and passwordI
You can force users to supply a name and password by appending &Login as an argument to a URL command, such as the OpenDatabase, OpenView, and OpenDocument commands.

Although Notes information is stored in a single location (a Notes database), the information can be distributed in a variety of ways by taking advantage of the Notes security system's modular approach. You can create different access criteria to determine who can open a database, view specific Notes documents on the Web, or read or change individual documents.C

Every database has an access control list (ACL) that defines who can access it and what tasks users can perform. Users and servers with Notes IDs and registered Web users whose names and passwords are stored in the Public Address Book can be listed in the ACL. The manager of each database on the Domino Web Server should define an access control list that matches the confidentiality requirements for the information.
Defining the maximum access for Web usersr
The database access level for Web users is limited by the "Maximum Internet browser access" option in the Advanced section of the ACL. Even if Web users are listed explicitly in the ACL with higher access, they never have an access level greater than the browser access option.
To grant all Web users access to a database, set "Maximum Internet browser access" to Reader or higher (the default is Editor access). To prevent any access by Web users, set "Maximum Internet browser access" to "No access."
Access levels for interactive Web sites
The most frequently used access levels for ACLs on an interactive Web site are:
No Access
Users cannot access the database.
Depositor
Users can create documents but can't see any documents, including the documents they created. This access is useful for survey responses or ballot boxes.R
Reader
Users can read documents in a database but cannot create or edit documents. If Web users haven't already been prompted for their name or password during an HTTP session, when they open a database whose Default access is Reader or higher, they are classified as anonymous users.
Author
Users can create documents and edit documents they create. j
Editor
Users can create documents and edit all documents, including those created by others.
Manager
Users can modify ACL settings (from a Notes workstation, not from a Web browser) and perform all tasks allowed by other access levels. Notes requires at least one Manager for a database, but it's best to assign two people Manager access.+
To further refine a user's or group's access level, you can allow or restrict these specific tasks. For most databases, you should allow Web users to create and delete documents. Other tasks, such as creating folders and views and creating agents, do not apply to Web users.

Creating groups and assigning users to roles are convenient and flexible ways to manage access to databases and their components.
Creating Groups in the Public Address Book allows you to define standard, reusable groups for organizational groups such as departments, supervisors, and product teams or functional groups such as registered Web users. A database manager can add a group to the database ACL to give a consistent level of access to the group without having to worry about keeping the member list up-to-date.o
Creating database-specific groups called roles is useful for individualized, task-specific groups when standard access levels don't provide enough granularity. A database manager creates a role and the designer includes the role in an access control list for a specific database component, such as a view, a form, or a field.R
If a database is replicated among servers, all replicating servers must be included as members of each role to ensure proper replication.

To go beyond the generalized access offered by a database ACL, you can design security features into views, forms, and fields to further refine who can see or change specific information on the Web site.
Setting up authentication for registered Web users
To set up automatic authentication of registered Web users, create an "Anonymous" entry in the ACL and assign it "No access." When users attempt a restricted action, they are prompted for their user name and password before continuing.
To set up authentication of registered Web users without blocking Anonymous users, add a URL that includes the &Login argument.
Customizing views and folders
Read access and edit access lists (in the Security tab of the View Properties InfoBox) are useful for organizing information for specific types of users.
Customizing document
level security
You can prevent users with Reader access or higher in the ACL from reading certain documents. You can apply reader restrictions to all documents created with a form with a read access list (in the Security tab of the Form Properties InfoBox) or a Reader Names field on the form. Authors and editors can also apply a read access list to a specific document using the Document Properties InfoBox in Notes.6
In addition, a Create Access list associated with a form allows a designer to restrict which Web users can create documents with a certain form.
Adding fields to customize security in views and documents
Use an Authors field to expand a document's editing privileges to users who didn't create the document without giving those users Editor access in the ACL.s
Use a Readers field to limit who can read specific documents in a view.
Use the field security option "Must have at least Editor access to use" to prevent authors from editing a portion of their own documents.r
Note that field-level encryption does not work for Web users. Do not rely on encrypted fields if Web users are authorized to read documents that contain encrypted fields.
Customizing actions based on the user's name
Use @UserName to write action formulas based on the Web user name.
For more information about designing security features into a database, see the
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a security protocol that provides communications privacy and authentication over the Internet. When the Domino Web server is configured for SSL transactions, it can encrypt data that passes between Web clients and the server.
Benefits of SSL transactions
Privacy
HTTP data is encrypted to and from clients, so privacy is ensured during transactions.
Message validation
An encoded message digest accompanies data to detect any message tampering.
Server authenticatione
The server's digital signature accompanies messages to assure the client that the server's identity is authentic.

SSL encryption uses the public/private RSA-based cryptosystem to encrypt data. This system requires the server to hold a unique pair of mathematically-related keys -- a private key and a public key -- that are used to initiate SSL-encrypted transactions. e
Key ring files, held by clients and servers, store the information needed for encrypted transactions: the owner's private and public key and one or more certificates. The encryption process that occurs between the Domino Web server and a Web client is based on the relationship between the key pairs and the certificates.
The link that allows a server and a client to communicate is a Certificate Authority (CA). Like a mutual friend, a CA vouches for the identity of a server and client. A CA can be an external, commercial certifier, such as VeriSign
, or an internal certifier that you create at your company. When a CA issues a certificate (known by VeriSign as a Digital ID
) to a server or client, it includes a trusted root key that contains its name and public key. An SSL transaction is authenticated only if the client can verify the server's identity (because the server has a trusted root key from the same CA).fered by a database ACL, you can design security features into

Most popular browsers supply certificates from a number of industry-supported Certificate Authorities such as VeriSign. When users access an SSL-controlled site, these browsers check for a certificate in common with the server and, if necessary, help users through the process of adding new certificates to the browser.

Every SSL certificate includes a distinguished name that is used for identification in SSL transactions. The distinguished name is created by the system based on the server's or Certificate Authority's name and geographical location.
To perform SSL Administration tasks, you must fill in information for a distinguished name. The more components that you include, the less chance you'll have of encountering an exactly-matched distinguished name elsewhere on the Web.:
These are the required and optional components of a distinguished name.o
Common name
A server's common name is the TCP/IP fully qualified host name, for example, www.lotus.com. This is the same name that appears in the Host field in the Server document in the Public Address Book.
A Certificate Authority's common name is a descriptive name that identifies the owner, such as Acme SSLCA.
(Optional) Organizational Unit
The division or department to which the owner belongs.
Organization
The name of the organization to which the owner belongs, usually a company name.
(Optional) City or LocalityE
The city or town in which the owner resides. s

A name of at least
three
characters that represents the state or province in which the owner resides. (For U.S. state abbreviations, enter the complete state name.)

You can generate Domino log information to track how Web clients are using the server. With each HTTP request from a browser, Domino tracks information such as what parts of the site Web clients access, what browsers they use, errors generated from CGI programs, and URLs used at the site.
Choosing file or database logging
You can save log information in text files, in a Notes database named domlog.nsf, or in both places. Logging to text files is useful for large or busy sites and for those sites that already have HTTP server reporting and management tools. Logging to a Domino Log database is convenient for generating reports from Notes views and triggering workflow events, such as sending mail when a page is accessed more than a specified number of times or when certain errors are reported. Logging to a database may be somewhat slower than logging to text files, especially at very busy sites.h
Setting up logging
To set up Notes database logging, create a database in the Notes data directory named domlog.nsf based on the Domino Log template. To set up text logging, fill in the Access Log and Error Log fields in the HTTP server section of the Server document. If you set up both types of logging, Domino generates log reports for both.r
To turn off Notes database logging, remove the database. To turn off text logging, leave the Access log and Error log fields blank in the Server document. o

If the HTTP Server Log fields are filled in the Server document, Domino starts a new log file each day and appends data to the files with each HTTP request. Domino uses the file name you specify in the Server document and appends a date suffix. The date suffix is in the format
mmmddyy
, where
is the first three letters of the month,
is the day of the month, and
is the last two digits of the year. For example, agent_log.jul2196. Domino creates a new log file at midnight if the server is running. If the server is not running at midnight, Domino starts a new log file when you start the server the next day. To save disk space, periodically check the size of log files to make sure they are not taking up too much space and delete the log files you no longer need.
The Domino Web server provides these log files.
Access log
Domino logs access statistics in this file. By default, Domino writes an entry to this log each time a client sends the server a request. You can use the No Log option in the Server document to skip logging information for certain clients.
Domino writes standard error (stderr) from CGI programs to the cgi_error log. Domino creates the CGI error log file on the same path you specify for the error log file and names the file cgi_error.
Referer logG
Domino logs the URLs that clients visited and that contained links to URLs on this site. Here's some sample data from a Referer log:

Domino uses a file cache directory to optimize response time. Domino stores image files and file attachments in the file cache directory. Since converting Notes bitmap images to Web image formats can take time, caching the converted files on disk allows Domino to return inline images more quickly. Similarly, file attachments are usually compressed in Notes; storing attachments in the cache improves server responsiveness.
The Domino file cache directory is named domino\cache; its location is relative to the Notes data directory.
The Server document contains several configuration settings for the Domino cache. Using these settings, you can specify the maximum file size, whether you want the cache automatically deleted when you shut down the server, and whether you want Domino to periodically delete files that are not being used.t
The format of the cache file names for attachments is:
<dbid><db-hash-key><noteid>.$File.<filename>
Note
The cache file format information is subject to change.s

Web users don't have access to Notes workstation menus, so Web database views need to contain view actions for creating and editing new documents. And because Web users see a "snap shot" of a view, they can't "select" a document before acting on it. Activities that depend on a document being in the current focus, such as editing, deleting, or responding, need to be designed as form actions.

When users create a new document, Domino calculates formulas, such as author name, date/time created, date/time last modified, or default values before displaying the new document as an HTML form. When users submit the form, Domino creates a document in a Notes database. Once the information is saved in a document, users can run an agent, mail the document, trigger a workflow process, and so on.
Editing documents from the Web
When users open a document for editing, Domino converts the document to HTML on the fly. When users submit their changes, Domino saves the edited document in the Notes database. Users can edit their own documents, or, if their access level is Editor or higher, they can edit other people's documents.
Deleting documents from the Web
Since Web users can't select a document from a view, they must first open the document and then click a link to delete the document. Users can delete any document for which they are the author if their access includes "Delete documents."

Domino searches both visible and hidden data in Notes documents. Consequently, search results may include documents that don't seem to meet the criteria because the matching data is in a hidden field or in a file attachment. If text from new documents isn't included in the search results, you may need to wait until the full text index is updated at the server.
Most search features for Domino are similar to those found in Notes. For more information about searching in Notes, see topics related to "Searching for Information" in Notes Help.
More about search options
Limit results to
Specify the maximum number of matching documents to display. To see all matching documents, enter "All."
Sort results by
Choose a preference for displaying search results.
Relevance
Sorts matching documents by how well they match the search criteria. Documents with multiple occurrences of the search string get a higher ranking than those with a single occurrence. The ranking depends on the length of the document; a short document with one occurrence may rank higher than a longer document with two occurrences.
Oldest first (by date)
Sorts matching documents in ascending order by date. Documents created on 7/18/96 appear before documents created on 10/05/96.
Newest first (by date)
Sorts matching documents in descending order by date. Documents created on 10/05/96 appear before documents created on 7/19/96.
Word options
(Optional) Choose an options to limit or expand the search text.
Find exact word matches only
Searches only for the query word. For example, if the query word is "print," documents that contain the words "prints" and "printing" are not returned by the search when you select this option.
Find word variations as defined by thesaurus
Also searches for synonyms of the query word. For example, if the query word is "print," documents that include the words "impression" and "mark" are returned by the search.

When your mail database resides on a Domino server, you can read and send mail over the Internet, giving you access to mail anytime, anywhere. Domino gives you the flexibility of choosing to use Notes mail from any workstation connected to the Internet or from any Web browser. Even if you don't have your Notes ID with you, you can read and send mail by entering the URL for your mail database and supplying your name and password.
Preparing to access Notes mail from a Web browser
Before you can use Notes mail from a Web browser, the Domino administrator must:
Register you as a Web user in the Public Address Bookn
Put your mail database on the Domino Web server and apply a Web mail template
Sample mail templates are available on the Domino site (http://domino.lotus.com).
Using Notes mail from a Web browserh
When you access Notes mail from a Web browser, you can read, send, respond, and delete mail (other mail options, such as Forward, are not available). Certain commands that are available from a Notes workstation cannot be converted for the Web. For example, there is no "OK/Cancel" confirmation dialog; instead, mail is sent or deleted without a confirmation dialog.
Be aware of the following issues:
Even if your Domino Web server is set up for Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) transactions that protect privacy and authenticate Web users, you should know that SSL offers less security than the Notes ID security system that is activated when accessing mail from a Notes workstation.
You must work from a Notes workstation to replicate mail from a local replica.
Send options are more limited than those available at a Notes workstation.
When you start to plan a Web site, your first consideration is the organization of the Notes components you'll create -- how many databases, views, navigators, and forms are needed to build the site you want?
The simplest Web site includes a single database, an About Database document that displays each time the database is opened (the home page), one or two forms and views, and possibly a navigator.
The single-database approach works well for sites that have only one or two main functions. Examples include:
A country inn whose informational site includes pictures of the inn, details about the facilities, a list of seasonal activities, and current prices.
A civic interest group whose interactive site hosts ongoing discussions about improving the community and stores member lists.
A complex Web site might include multiple databases, each with its own forms, views, and navigators, bound by document, view, and database links that make the multi-database organization invisible to users. The databases at such a site may also contain agents that process documents automatically.
The multiple-database approach works well for sites that have several functions or that contain interrelated databases. Examples include:x
A commercial site where customers can browse product catalogs, place credit-card orders, learn how to use products they already have, and mail ideas for new products to specific departments or divisions.
A Human Resources site where employees can search for benefits information, learn about changes to existing benefits, initiate requests for follow-up appointments with HR representatives, and view custom information about the components of their personal benefits packages.
The Domino site at http://domino.lotus.com contains many sample applications. We frequently update and enhance these applications, which you can download.

Every Domino Web site includes at least one database that incorporates documents, forms and fields, and views and folders. To make a site easy to use and explore, you can also use navigators, the About Database document, links, formulas, agents, and actions.
Databases.
A database is a collection of related information stored in a single file. The database can be as small as a workgroup's phone book that contains a few documents or as large as the complete personnel records for 50,000 employees. Every Domino Web site uses at least one database; some Web sites use more than one database.
Documentsa
Documents store information in a database. To work interactively at a Web site, users open a form, enter the requested information, and submit the page as a Notes document that is stored in the database.
A Web site database also contains read-only documents that give instructions to visitors, present information and graphics, and provide links to other parts of the site.
Formsx
A form is like a window through which users view the fields of a document; forms are the only way to see documents. A form may display all or just a subset of the fields in the document. The fields can appear in any order, regardless of the order in which they are entered or displayed in other forms.
When you design a form, you decide what components to show and how they should look to users. A form can contain fields to display data and text, colorful images to make the form attractive and easy-to-use, HTML code to format text for Web browsers automatically, and attachments and objects that represent external files. Most databases have several forms, each serving a particular purpose. For example, a discussion database usually includes a form for new topics and another form for responses. With Domino, you can also associate forms with navigators and views to create sophisticated Web effects.
Fields
A field contains a single type of information -- text, rich text (capable of storing a variety of type styles, graphics, and multimedia objects), multiple-choice lists called keywords, numbers, times or dates, and user names. The fields on a form define the kind of information each document contains.
Domino has several reserved field names, such as $$ViewBody, $$NavigatorBody, $$Return, $$QuerySaveAgent, $$QueryOpenAgent, and $$HTMLHead that you use to create special Web effects with forms, views, navigators, and agents. d
Views and folders
Standard-style views and folders display document summaries in rows and columns so users can find the documents they want to read. To read documents in a database, a user opens a view or folder, then opens the document, represented by one row.
Calendar-style views display a daily, weekly, or monthly calendar. Documents appear as entries for a certain date.
Most databases have several views that organize and present documents in different ways. For example, a discussion database may have three views: one that arranges documents in alphabetical order by author, a second view that shows documents by creation date, and a third view that sorts them by category name. In addition, some databases have specialized document views. For example, an approval application may have an "In Basket" view that categorizes documents by the next approver, a "Due Date" view that categorizes documents by the due date of the next action, and a "Request By" view that categorizes documents by who initiated the request.
Navigators
On the Web, navigators appear as image maps. They provide a graphical way for users to find documents or take actions without having to maneuver through views or find menu commands. You can design your own navigators to perform specific functions, including those activated by formulas.
Home pages
Each site needs an entry point to orient users and provide an overview of what the site offers. If your site contains multiple databases, designate one as the home database and create an About document that links to views, documents, or navigators in the same database or other related databases at the site. Then users who access the home page can click to find the information they need. To set the site's home page to launch automatically, choose File - Database - Properties, click the Launch tab, and select "On Database Open: Open 'About Database' Document."
Links
To help users find information on the Web, add Notes document, view, and database links, as well as links to external Web pages.
Formulas
Notes applications contain formulas that define the contents of documents and views, determine how data is displayed, and perform complex workflow and automation tasks. You can use Notes @functions to create formulas in any Notes application.
Agents and actions
To automate an application, add database agents as well as subform, view, and folder actions. Actions appear as buttons in an action bar above the view or document.
For example, a workflow agent can check a database every day for stalled approvals and send reminders or reroute the workflow. A tracking agent can check for low inventory or other problems and notify the appropriate person. A maintenance agent can delete or archive old documents or change the contents of a field in documents that meet certain conditions.

ow process, and so on. 6
Like the receptionist at the front desk of a busy office, a home page gives your site a logical entry point and provides information about what lies within. Not all visitors need to stop by the "front desk," but it's important to provide a home page for those who need it. Be sure to provide links to the home page from points within the site, so visitors who enter through the back door can find their way around too.
A home page should contain the following elements in a pleasing mix of graphics and text:i
A brief description of your company, product, service, or site
Links that show the organization of the site
Information for new visitors
Information for frequent visitors who need to know what is new
A way to search for information

Although you can use any HTML file as a home page for your Domino site, the Notes development environment lets you produce attractive home pages quickly. You can use an About document, a navigator, a view, or a document as the entry point for the site. The design element can be stored in a "home" database devoted to that task or can be included in a database that is used for other purposes, such as discussions, user registration, or product information.
Editing the Home URL field
To make a Notes design element the site home page, edit the Home URL field in the Server document or a Virtual Server document and specify a URL that represents the design element.
To open a navigator automatically, include the navigator name in the URL. For example, this URL opens the Main Navigator in the Our Home database:
/ourhome.nsf/Main+Navigator
To open a view automatically, include the view name in the Home URL. For example, this URL launches the Contents view of the Our Home database:
/ourhome.nsf/Contents
If an About document or navigator always launches automatically (specified in the Launch options in the Database Properties InfoBox), the Home URL need only open the database to launch the design element, as in:u
/ourhome.nsf

The Domino Web server offers several ways to build programming into your Web applications.
CGI programs
You can run CGI programs by placing them in the default cgi-bin directory or in a directory that has execute acces. Domino does not maintain access control at the file system level, so scripts need to include access control measures to prevent unauthorized use.
Perl scripts
Domino supports programs written in Perl (those with a .pl extension). They should be located in the cgi-bin directory with other programs.e
Domino looks for a Perl interpreter named PERL.EXE in directories in the path. This default can be overridden by defining an environment variable (PERLBIN) that gives the name or absolute path of the PERL interpreter (for example C:\PERL5\BIN\PERL.EXE).m
Java, Java Script, VBScripti
You can use Java programs, applets, and scripts and VB scripts by adding them as passthru HTML or in an $$HTMLHead field.L
@functions
Most @functions are supported in Web applications. If you are familiar with the formula language, use @functions as a quick way to add programmability to a form.
@commands
Since browsers don't provide menus for Web applications, Domino supports @commands that allow users to work at a Web site, including the ability to open and edit documents, delete documents, open a view, or change to another view.
LotusScript (within agents)
Domino supports LotusScript agents in certain contexts. Use the DocumentContext property of the NotesSession class to represent the current Web document.

Domino allows you to add special $$ fields to forms and associate the forms with views or navigators. You can also use these fields to customize the confirmation page a user sees after submitting a form, to pass HTML information to the <Head> section a
of a document, and to run agents.
$$Field name
Value
Comments
$$ViewBody
View name (in quotes) or a formula that computes the view name
Displays the named view. Only one $$ViewBody field is allowed on each form.
$$ViewList
None
Displays a list of views and folders with the standard Folders navigator, as seen in Notes with the View - Show Folders command. The font style you apply to the field applies to the style used to display the views.
$$NavigatorBody, $$NavigatorBody_o
Navigator name (in quotes) or a formula that computes the navigator name
Displays the named navigator. To create multiple $$NavigatorBody fields on a form, append an underscore and a character to each subsequent field name.
$$Return
A text message, or a formula that computes the confirmation page users see when they submit a formo
Allows you to display a personalized message, add a link to another page, return another page, or run a CGI script.P
$$HTMLHead
A formula that computes the Head tag information
Allows you to pass HTML information, such as Meta tags and JavaScript, to the Head tag for a document.
(The section of the document between <head> and </head>.)
$$QueryOpenAgent
Agent name (in quotes) or a formula that computes the agent name
Runs an agent before Domino converts a new or existing document to HTML and sends it to the browser.
$$QuerySaveAgent
Agent name (in quotes) or a formula that computes the agent name
Runs an agent before the document is actually saved to disk.

The @UserRoles function appends $$WebClient to the list of roles when a Web user opens a database. To tailor an application to do something different depending on whether the user is a Web user or a Notes user, use @UserRoles in formulas. For example, you can write formulas for subforms, actions, hide-when formulas, actions, and so on to display Web-only information or combine @UserRoles with @commands to change views or place a document in edit mode.
The example below inserts a computed subform based on the type of client accessing the document.
1. Open a form for editing.
2. Choose Create - Insert Subform.
3. In the "Insert Subform dialog, select the "Insert Subform based on formula" checkbox.n
4. Enter a subform formula to check if $$WebClient is a member of @UserRoles. For example:f
5. Create the two subforms, WebSubform and NotesSubform.
When users access documents based on this form, the content will depend on the client type being used.

ng HTM
Domino supports most Notes formatting features by converting them to HTML tags. Certain Notes formatting features (for example, indentation, inter-line spacing, and tabs) do not appear when viewed from a Web browser because HTML has no corresponding format. In addition, browsers may display tags differently from each other and not all browsers support the HTML tags that Domino generates.
When you format text, keep the following information in mind.t
Choosing fonts
Browsers determine which fonts to use to approximate the fonts you choose for your applications. Text may look different to a Web user than it does to a Notes user.
Choosing font size
Domino maps the font size you select in Notes to HTML sizes. The following table lists the point size in Notes and the corresponding HTML size.
Point size less than or equal to
Maps to HTML Size
greater than 24
Note that Domino does not map font sizes to HTML headings.
Choosing font stylek
Domino supports all Notes font styles, except Shadow, Emboss, and Extrude. To align a column of numbers or preserve or insert spaces, use the default monospaced font (Courier on a Windows system). Domino converts the default monospaced font to a monospaced font on the Web and preserves any spaces you enter.
Choosing text color
Domino supports all text colors available in Notes.
Choosing other formatting features
Domino supports the following:
Bullets
Numbered lists
Alignment (except Full Justification and No Wrap)
Spacingc
Named styles

Depending on the HTTP image conversion format specified in the Server document, Domino converts images to Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) or Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) files for display on the Web. Domino passes the image size and scaling information to the browser. If the browser supports scaling, the image has the same size and scale as it does in Notes. If the browser does not support scaling, the image appears in its original size, regardless of how you size it in Notes.
Notes stores a graphic as a platform-dependent metafile and as a 256-color platform-independent bitmap. Domino uses the platform-independent bitmap which, in some cases, may cause the graphic to look slightly different on the Web.
Changing image display options in the Server document
You can specify display options in the HTTP Server - Operational Information section of the Server document to make GIF and JPEG images look better on the Web.

Using transparent images
(Notes Release 4.5 or later)
Domino supports transparent images. You must import, rather than paste, the image to keep its transparent setting.
(Notes Release 4.1)
Use passthru HTML to reference the image. The transparent RGB color is #FEFEFE.
Using background images in forms
(Notes Release 4.5 or later)
Domino supports graphical backgrounds for Web forms. Copy the image to the clipboard, open the form in design mode, choose Design - Form Properties, click the Background tab and click Paste Graphic.
(Notes Release 4.1)
Notes stores graphic backgrounds in an internal field named $Background. To reproduce this effect for individual Web documents, add a rich text field named $Background to a form and hide the field when reading. When you create a document, paste an image into the $Background field.F
Placing images on forms
The current Domino URL syntax for referencing bitmaps in Notes documents -- specifically, the field offset part -- makes it impractical for users to create these URLs manually. As an alternative, you may import or paste the actual bitmap in place of a reference, create URL references to image files stored in the file system, or add images as attachments. v
Using passthru HTML to reference an image
You can use passthru HTML to reference an image for Web-only viewing. For example, this formula:
references this GIF89a animation of falling dominoes:s
2]2]2
]2]2]2
2]2]2]
33333f33
3f33ff3f
f33f3ff3
ff3fffff
]]]]]]]]
For information on creating GIF animations, see your browser's Help file.]
Using Notes to store images@
Creating a graphics library database allows designers to update, replicate, and copy Web images without needing access to the server's file system. Store images as attachments in documents and create a view that identifies the images.
To reference an image stored in the database, use the Domino URL syntax for opening documents from a view by key name. For example, the following URL references a flag image in the webimage.nsf database on the Mercury server. The URL looks for the image in the Animation view using the key "Gifs."

An image map is a clickable graphic that contains links to other Web pages. Image maps let users easily navigate around your site. To create an image map in Notes, you create a navigator and specify various actions for the different regions of the navigator. Domino converts the navigator to an image map for display on the Web.
Domino supports only the navigators you create using the Create - Graphic Background command. If you choose Edit - Paste to paste the image into Notes, Domino will not convert the navigator to an image map. Only hotspot polygons and hotspot rectangles are supported within navigators.
Client-side and server-side image maps
In HTML, image maps can be handled in two ways. With server-side image maps, the browser sends the coordinates for a region in the image map to the server, and the server sends the corresponding URL information back to the browser. With client-side image maps, the browser generates the URL information for the regions in the image map.
Domino converts a navigator into an image map that is both a client-side and a server-side image map, which means that all browsers are automatically supported. If the browser supports client-side image maps, it uses those tags. If the browser does not support client-side image maps, it uses the server-side image map HTML tags.
Use formulas to compute which view or database to link to. When you create the navigator, use actions for different regions. For example, you could use a formula to determine whether the user is a Notes user or a Web user and based on the result of the formula, use the @Command(OpenView) function to link to a specific view.v

By adding special fields to forms and associating the forms with views or navigators,
you can create HTML-like Web pages that combine form elements, such as styled text, graphics, multi-media objects, and tables with views or navigators. The resulting "frame effect" allows you to use Notes documents to help users navigate through the site and to add visual interest to views and navigators. l

When a form uses any of the following reserved field names, Web users see the view or navigator on the same page as the Notes document. You can place these Web-only fields anywhere on a form, including in tables, as part of collapsed sections, and as left-, right-, or center-aligned design elements. You can also create these fields on subforms or as shared fields for use with several forms.
The fields must be text fields that are editable or any computed type. You can combine these fields on the same form (for example, one $$ViewBody field, a $$ViewList field, and several $$NavigatorBody fields).
Field name
Value
Comments
$$ViewBody
View name (in quotes) or a formula that computes the view name
Displays the named view. Only one $$ViewBody field is allowed on each form.
$$ViewList
None
Displays a list of views and folders with the standard Folders navigator, as seen in Notes with the View - Show Folders command. The font style you apply to the field applies to the style used to display the views.
$$NavigatorBody, $$NavigatorBody_
Navigator name (in quotes) or a formula that computes the navigator name
Displays the named navigator. To create multiple $$NavigatorBody fields on a form, append an underscore and a character to each subsequent field name.

If you hide a field, the view or navigator is hidden too.u
When views display through a field, Domino disregards the view title and background color and uses the Server document to determine the number of lines to display. Domino ignores create and read access lists on forms associated with views and navigators.
Domino combines form and subform actions with views associated with a form. However, Domino does not display the default view navigation bar for such views. To give users the same functions, add view actions for Next, Prev, Expand, Collapse, and Search, with the following formulas:
Action nameI
Formula
Next
@DbCommand("Domino"; "ViewNextPage")
Prev
@DbCommand("Domino"; "ViewPreviousPage")
Expand
@Command([ViewExpandAll])
Collapse
@Command([ViewCollapseAll])
Search
@Command([ViewShowSearchBar])
You can also use these formulas for navigator hotspots when you use an $$NavigatorBody field to display the navigator or forms that you associate with a view.F
Use the following form names and fields to create an association between a form and a view or navigator. D
Form nameD
Field required
Comments
$$ViewTemplate for

$$ViewBody
Associates the form with a specific view. Domino ignores any value in the field. The form name includes
viewname
, which is the alias for the view or when no alias exists, the name of the view. For example, the form named "$$ViewTemplate for By Author" associates the form with the By Author view.
$$NavigatorTemplate forv
navigatorname
$$NavigatorBody
Associates the form with a specific navigator. The form name includes
navigatorname
, which is the navigator name. For example, the form named "$$NavigatorTemplate for World Map" associates the form with the World Map navigator.
$$ViewTemplateDefault
$$ViewBody
Domino requires the $$ViewBody field on the form but ignores the value. This form is the default for all Web views that aren't associated with a specific form.
$$NavigatorTemplateDefault
$$NavigatorBody
Domino ignores any value in the field. This form is the default for all Web navigators that aren't associated with a specific form.h

Whether you work from a Web browser or Notes, you can attach any type of file to a document, including binary files, compressed files, executable files, and Notes database (.NSF) files. You can download attachments from the Web or from Notes.
Attachments created in Notes appear in a rich text field and look like this on the Web:c
Attachments created from a Web browser look like this:
Clicking the graphic downloads (detaches) the file.
URLs for attachments
When Domino saves a file attachment with a document, it generates a URL so it can retrieve the file later. An attachment generates a URL whose last component is the original file name. For example:6
<ViewUNID> can indicate a ViewID or a ViewName. <DocumentUNID> can be a NotesID or a DocumentKey. This allows you to create URL links to attachments by, for example, supplying a view name and document key.
By default, the browser uses the name specified in the URL to save the file.

When a document is in edit mode, type a path and file name in the input field or click Browse to select a file. When you click the Submit button, Domino saves the attachment with the document.
Details
If the browser you use does not support file attaching, Domino disregards any entry in the input field. Some proxy servers do not allow binary file attachments.
To attach several separate files, the form must have multiple input fields, or you must submit the document multiple times, specifying a different file name each time.
To remove an attachment from a document, place the document in edit mode and click the box next to the file name:
Domino removes the attachment when you re-submit the document.
Domino supports MIME (Multimedia Internet Mail Extension) type mappings -- a process that maps an attachment's file extension to an external viewer or a helper application. This enables users to view or launch attachments automatically from Web pages.
For example, to allow a QuickTime video clip attached to a Notes document to be played on a user's machine, specify the MIME type mapping in the Domino Web server's HTTPD.CNF file:
When Web users click the QuickTime clip, Domino sends the MIME type mapping "video/quicktime" to the browser.E
The user can associate this MIME type with a helper application. With Netscape Navigator, this association is set in Preferences; with Internet Explorer 3.0, it is set in the Windows Explorer's View Options.

You can use your browser to view ActiveX controls, OLE objects, and Lotus Components objects that are embedded in Notes documents. Domino uses the OBJECT and EMBED tags to convert embedded objects to HTML. To create or edit objects, you need to work from a Notes workstation.
You must have:
A Windows NT or Windows 95 workstation
The OLE server application or Lotus component installedo
A browser that supports embedded objects
If you don't have a workstation that supports object viewing, you see a static image for each object.
Using Netscape Navigator 3.0 to view objects
To view objects from Netscape Navigator 3.0, install the NCompass plug-in, available from NCompass Labs (http://www.ncompasslabs.com).
In addition, to view Lotus Components objects, you'll need to download a special .REG file from the Domino site (http://domino.lotus.com) to load the necessary object settings into the Windows Registry.
Using Internet Explorer 3.0 to viewing objects
To run ActiveX controls from Internet Explorer 3.0, set the browser's ActiveX security level to "medium."r

Adding a field named HTML to a form, with an HTML file entered as its value, passes HTML directly to the browser and causes Domino to disregard all other fields. This is convenient when you want to use Notes for storing HTML files or when you want to display Web-only information that isn't appropriate for Notes workstation users. Web users see the HTML information when they open documents for reading, but not when they open documents in edit mode.
The HTML field can be computed or editable. Use a text field for HTML files smaller than 15K; use a rich text field for larger HTML files.

Domino lets you capture information that Web users enter in forms and store it in Notes databases. When you create input forms, you can use Notes application development resources -- for example, computed fields and input validation formulas. In addition, you can add HTML to further control the appearance of the form, capture the values in CGI variables, and customize the Web page response that users see when they submit a form. s

After users submit a form, Domino responds with the default confirmation "Form processed." To override the default response, add a computed $$Return field to your form and include HTML code as part of the formula for the field.
You can also use a $$Return field to run a custom CGI (Common Gateway Interface) program immediately after the user submits the form and Notes creates the document. For example, you may run a CGI program that uses the Notes API to further process the input data. The Web client displays the output of the CGI program to the user.
To run a CGI program, include the URL to the CGI program file and enclose it in brackets. Note that you can pass arguments -- for example, values from fields in the form -- to the CGI program. For example,
If input data from submitted forms can be processed in "batch" mode and messages to the user are not necessary, consider writing a Lotus Script agent to further processes the data instead of using a $$Return field.

Personalizing responses
Create a personalized message for the user who submits a form. For example, the following $$Return formula returns the response "Thank you," and appends the user's name.
Include HTML with a URL in a response to link to another page based on field values in the submitted form. The following $$Return formula returns a response based on the region the user selects. For example, if the user selects Europe, the message "Visit our site in Italy" with a link to the Web site in Italy. (Assume that "stdAnswer" and "stdFooter" are defined earlier in the formula.)
@If(Region="Asia"; stdAnswer + "<h2>Visit our site in <a href=\"http://www.japan.lotus.com\">Japan</a></h2>" + stdFooter;
Region="Europe"; stdAnswer + "<h2>Visit our site in <a href=\"http://www.lotus.com\it_ciao/it_ciao.htm\">Italy</a></h2>" + stdFooter;G
stdAnswer + stdFooter);o
Returning another page
To jump to a different Web page after the user submits the form, enclose a URL for the page in brackets. When the user submits the form, the Web client displays the referenced document. For example, the following $$Return formula displays the home page for the Lotus Japan site.

(Notes Release 4.5 or later)
To run an agent just before users open or save documents, create forms that have fields named $$QueryOpenAgent or $$QuerySaveAgent, respectively. The field value is the name of the agent to be run.
Such agents use the Document.Context property of the NotesSession class to represent the document being opened or saved. The script must set the DocumentContext first before executing the rest of the script. Agents used this way must be shared agents that run manually.o
$$QueryOpenAgent field
A $$QueryOpenAgent field runs the agent before Domino converts a new or existing document to HTML and sends it to the browser. Domino ignores output produced by the agent in this context.e
Examples for using this agent include performing large computations that aren't possible with @commands or collecting statistics about who has opened documents and when.
$$QuerySaveAgent field
A $$QuerySaveAgent field runs the agent before the document is actually saved to disk. The agent can modify the document or use the document's data to perform some other operations.
Examples for using this agent include:
Simulating CGI programs that run on user-supplied data by creating a $$QuerySaveAgent and adding a SaveOptions field with a value of "0" to the form. When the agent runs, you can collect field values from the filled-out form without generating a new Notes document.p
Collecting statistics based on data submitted by browsers, such as CGI variables, by creating a $$QuerySaveAgent that uses CGI variables.s

Common Gateway Interface (CGI) is a standard for connecting external applications with HTTP servers. When a Web user saves a document or opens an existing one, the Domino Web server collects information about the user, including the user name, the browser, and the user's IP address. To capture this information in a Web application, create a field with the name of a CGI variable or create an agent whose script contains a CGI variable as a DocumentContext property.
Creating a field with the name of the CGI variable
Create a field with any CGI variable name and mark the field "Hide when Editing," so users cannot enter information in it. When a field exists with the appropriate name, its value is copied from the CGI environment and placed in the field as a default value. This feature is useful in computed-for-display fields and for determining "hide when" conditions. o
For example, to obtain the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the user submitting the form, add a field named Remote_Addr to the form.
Creating a LotusScript agent that captures a CGI variable
(Notes Release 4.5 or later)
By creating a LotusScript agent that uses the Print statement and a CGI variable as a document property, you can capture CGI variable information and display it to the user. Such agents use the DocumentContext property of the NotesSession class to represent the document. The script must set the DocumentContext first before executing the rest of the script and the variable must assume a text list. Agents used this way must be shared agents and be set up to run manually.
For example, the script below causes the browser to display "User =" and the user's name.
Dim session As New NotesSession
Dim doc As NotesDocument
Set doc = session.DocumentContext
Print "User = " + doc.remote_user(0)
For more information, see "Using the DocumentContext property in LotusScript agents" earlier in this chapter and the list of CGI variables that follow.

Creating and maintaining links on Web sites is easy because you can use Notes links to generate structured, easy-to-navigate, accurate links that don't require manual hard coding or continual updating.r
Domino converts any Notes-created links (document, view, and database links) to hypertext links that allow users to browse linked pages on the Web. In addition, you can include links to other pages on the Web.
Links in Notes are more stable than links in HTML. HTML links are hardcoded references to file names, so if you move or rename a file, the link no longer works. Notes links do not reference file names; rather, they reference the universal ID (also known as the unique ID or UNID) of a database, view, or document. So even if a view name changes, a link to a document in that view remains valid.

Remote_Addr
The IP address of the remote host making the request.c
Remote_Host
The name of the host making the request.
Remote_Ident
This variable will be set to the remote user name retrieved from the server. Use this variable only for logging only.
Remote_User
Authentication method that returns the authenticated user name.t
Request_Method
The method used to make the request. For HTTP, this is "GET," "HEAD," "POST," and so on.
Script_Namee
A virtual path to the script being executed, used for self-referencing URLs.
Server_Nameg
The server's host name, DNS alias, or IP address as it would appear in self-referencing URLs.
Server_Protocol
The name and revision of the information protocol accompanying this request.
Server_Porth
The port to which the request was sent.

To create a link to a form or navigator, use any of the following techniques:
Action bar
Use an @command formula in the action bar to create the link.
For a form in the current database:
@Command([Compose]; "
formname
For a form in another database:
@Command([Compose];"":"
database
"; "
formname
For a navigator in the current database:
@Command([OpenNavigator]; "
navigatorname
For a navigator in another database:
@Command([FileOpenDatabase];"":"
database
"; "
navigatorname
The following action bar button formula links to a Main Topic form:
@Command([Compose];"Main Topic")
Action hotspot
Use @command formulas or the @URLOpen formula in the action hotspot to create the link. For example, @URLOpen("http://www.ibm.com").
Note that in general, action hotspots and action bars accept the same types of formulas.
HTML link
You can also use an HTML link. For example, the syntax for linking to a form is:
Note that Domino cannot generate links based on the currently selected document in a view. For example, suppose you create links to the Main Topic form and Response form. When Web users access a view in the database, they see only the link to the Main Topic form. The link to the Response Form does not appear because in the view, there is no notion of a "selected" document to which to respond. Users must open (or select) a document to see the link to the Response form.

To create a link to an external Web page, use any of the following techniques.

Searching for text throughout a site or within a view enables users to find the documents they're interested in quickly and easily. Notes provides a full-text-search engine that acts on text contained in Notes documents (not on text in HTML or other types of files). You can set up a site to allow text searching in a single view or in multiple databases. A user clicks a Search link or button, enters search criteria in a Search form, and submits the search form. Then Domino returns a list of links to documents that match the search criteria.
Setting up view searches
Searching a view is appropriate for text searches that involve only one database. To set up view searching for a database, do the following at a Notes workstation:
1. Create a full text index for the database.
2. Incorporate ViewSearch URLs in your site by adding them to views or forms that display with customized views.
Setting up multiple-database searches
The scope of a multiple-database search can include all the databases on a Domino server or virtual server site or be limited to a group of related databases. You may want to create several search site databases for the different types of searches you expect for a site. For example, a search generated from a home database view might search every database at the site; a search generated from a Product Support database might search only technical information databases.?
To set up a multiple-database search at the site, do the following at a Notes workstation:
1. Use the Search Site template to create a search site database.
2. Create Search Scope documents to configure the search scope.
3. Select "Include in multi-database indexing" in the Database Properties - Design tab or select the database in the Server Administration - Database Tools window and enable the Multi Database Indexing Tool.
4. Create a full text index for the search site database.
This indexes all databases included in the search scope. You don't need to create full text indexes for individual databases unless you want users to be able to perform view searches as well.
5. Incorporate SiteSearch URLs in your site by adding them where you want them.
Full text indexes take up additional disk space. If you enable searching for many databases or several large databases, you may need to increase the storage capacity of the Domino server. For more information about full text indexes, see Notes Help.

Searching for information at a Domino site

Search-related URLs are available for view searches and multiple-database searches. Typically you'll define a URL that displays an input form--either a customized search form or the default search form--to let users define their own searches. You can also define a URL that performs text searches without user input. o
SearchView URLs
Use SearchView URLs to limit a search to documents displayed in one database view.
This URL is useful for views that display all documents (so you can have a full-database search) or for views in which you can predict what users need to see, such as all documents whose status is "Completed."
To display a search form for user-defined searches, include the $SearchForm object in the URL:
You can also use the ?SearchView action with arguments:f
http://<site>/<database>/<view>?SearchView&y
<arguments>f
SearchSite URLsc
Use SearchSite URLs for text searches in multiple databases. Because the URL requires the name of a search site database, be sure to create one before using a SearchSite URL. h
To display a search form for user-defined searches, include the $SearchForm object in the URL:
http://h
site
search site database
/$SearchForm?SearchSite
You can also use the ?SearchSite action with arguments:n
http://

To prepare an existing Notes application for its debut on the Web, verify that the application is in the Notes data directory on the Domino Web server and then do at least the following:
Choose a home database and decide if you want to use an About document or navigator as the site's home page.
Add action buttons to the action bars in the forms to simulate menu commands, such as Create, Edit, and Save.
Modify the database ACL to designate access levels for Web users.
Set up text searching.

Domino uses URLs to access servers, databases, and other components of a Web site and display them to Web users. Knowing Domino URL commands allows you to design links or enter commands directly into a browser to navigate a Domino site or reach specific components quickly.
The Domino URL command syntax
Domino URL commands have the syntax:
http://
Host/NotesObject?Action&Arguments
where
Host
= a DNS entry or an IP address
NotesObject
= a Notes construct (a database, view, document, form, navigator, agent, etc.)
Action
= the desired operation on the specified Notes object (for example, ?OpenDatabase, ?OpenView, ?OpenDocument, ?EditDocument, ?OpenForm, etc.)
Arguments
= a qualifier of the action. (For example, Count = 10 combined with the ?OpenView action limits the number of rows displayed in a view to 10.)
Use the following guidelines when working with Domino URLs:
The Notes server name is not used in Domino URLs;
Host
identifies the server.S
Special identifiers used in Domino URL commands include: $defaultView, $defaultForm, $defaultNav, $searchForm, $file, $icon, $help, $about. These special identifiers are described in the following sections.
NotesObject
can be any of the following: for a database, the database name or replica ID; for other objects, the Notes object's name, universal ID, NoteID or special identifier. For example, to specify a view in a URL, you can use any of the following: the view name, view universal ID, view Note ID, or $defaultView.O
A Notes object's name and universal ID are identical in all replicas of a database, but the Notes object's NoteID will probably change in database replicas. Therefore, it is best to use the Notes object name or universal ID in URLs.O
Action
can be explicit or implicit. Examples of explicit actions include ?OpenServer, ?OpenDatabase, ?OpenView, ?OpenDocument, ?OpenForm, ?EditDocument. Examples of implicit actions include ?Open, ?Edit, and ?Delete. If you do not specify an action, Domino defaults to the ?Open action.
Append the Login argument to any Domino URL to require user authentication.
Because URLs may not contain spaces, use the + (plus sign) as a separator. For example, http://www.mercury.com/discussion.nsf/By+Author
Separate arguments with & (ampersands). For example, http://www.mercury.com/leads.nsf/By+Salesperson?OpenView&ExpandView
Separate hierarchical names with / (slashes). For example, to open a view named Docs\By Author in a database named Discussion, enter http://www.mercury.com/discussion.nsf/Docs/By+Author

About the Domino URL commandss
Click here to see this topic
The following commands access servers, databases, views, About documents, help documents, and database icons.#
Append optional arguments to refine the URL. Combine any of the following arguments for the desired result.
Start =
Where
is the row number to start with when displaying the view. The row number in a hierarchical view can include sub indexes (for example, Start=3.5.1 means the view will start at the third main topic, subtopic 5, document 1).
Count =
Where a
is the number of rows to displayh
ExpandView Displays the view in expanded format
CollapseView Displays the view in collapsed format
Expand =
Where
is the row number to display in expanded format in a hierarchical view. Do not combine this argument with the ExpandView or CollapseView arguments.s
Collapse = h
Where
is the row number to display in collapsed format in a hierarchical view. Do not combine this argument with the ExpandView or CollapseView arguments.
Use the OpenAbout command to access the "About database" document.
Syntax:e
http://Host/Database/$about?OpenAbout
Examples:
http://www.mercury.com/leads.nsf/$about?OpenAbout
OpenHelp
Use the OpenHelp command to access the Help document.
Syntax:n
http://Host/Database/$help?OpenHelp
Examples:n
http://www.mercury.com/leads.nsf/$help?OpenHelpc
OpenIcon
Use the OpenIcon command to access the database icon.a
Syntax:
http://Host/Database/$icon?OpenIcono
Examples:
http://www.mercury.com/leads.nsf/$icon?OpenIcona
Login argument
Append the Login argument to any Domino URL to force user authentication regardless of the database access control list. This ensures that anonymous Web users who weren't initially prompted for a name and password when they entered the site are required to supply a name and password to complete tasks that require user identity. e
ParentUNID = The Universal ID of the parent document, which is used in response forms, or when the Form properties option "Formulas inherit values from selected document" is selected.
DocumentKey is the contents of the first sorted column in the specified view. For more information, see "Opening documents by key" later in this chapter.
The CreateDocument command is used as the POST action of an HTML form. When the user submits a form, Domino obtains the data entered in the form and creates a document.
is the string, or key, that appears in the first sorted or categorized column of the view. Use this syntax to open, edit, or delete documents, and to open attached files. Domino returns the first document in the view whose column key exactly matches the DocumentName.
There may be more than one matching document; Domino always returns the first match. The key must match completely for Domino to return the document. However, the match is not case-sensitive or accent-sensitive.]
Note that
view
can be a view Note ID, UNID, or view name. In addition, the implicit form of any of these commands will work when appropriate. (EditDocument and DeleteDocument must be explicit commands.)
Using @Commands to link to a document
Use @Commands in an action button or action hotspot to link to documents by key. To do this, the action formula must combine two @commands: one to select the document, and one to open the document. To select the document, use the key argument with the [OpenView] or [FileOpenDatabase] @commands. To open or edit the document, use @Command([OpenDocument]). Both of these @commands must be present in order for Domino to generate the appropriate URL.
Note that if more than one attached file has the same name, the URL includes both the "internal" file name as well as the external name. Since the internal file name is not easily determined, make sure all attached files have unique names.
Domino treats all file attachment OpenElement commands as implicit commands, because some browsers require that the URL end with the attached file name.
FieldOffset is represented by xx.yy, where xx is the field number, and yy is the byte offset into the field. ImageFormat is either GIF or JPEG. If the FileElemFormat is not entered, Domino assumes the image file format is GIF.t
Note that the current URL syntax for referencing images and objects in Notes documents -- specifically the FieldOffset -- makes it impractical to create these URLs manually. As an alternative, you may paste the actual bitmap or object in place of the reference, create URL references to files stored in the file system, or attach the files to the documents.
The following commands allow you to search a Domino site or to search individual databases within a Domino site.
SearchOrder=[1,2,3] default = 1. 1 = "By Relevance", 2 = "By Date Ascending", 3 ="By Date Descending"
SearchThesaurus=[TRUE, FALSE], default = FALSE
SearchMax=[n], 0 default= 0 (meaning all).
SearchWord Variants=[TRUE, FALSE], default = TRUE
The ArgumentList must contain the Query argument; in addition, it may contain any or all of the other argumentsm
HTTPD.CNF is the configuration file for your Internet system and can be used to specify MIME (Multimedia Internet Mail Extension) type mappings--a process that maps an attachment's file extension (for example, .WAV for sound files) to an external viewer or a helper application. When you include MIME type mappings in HTTPD.CNF, Domino reads the extension of the attached file, and sends the appropriate information to the browser.
The following table contains a sample of MIME type settings in a HTTPD.CNF file:

Domino is server technology that transforms Lotus Notes into an Internet applications server. Domino combines the open networking environment of Internet standards and protocols with the powerful application development facilities of Notes, enabling you to develop a broad range of business applications for the Internet and intranet.
Using Domino, you can build applications that leverage access control to databases, views, pages, forms, and fields. This allows you to present information or commands differently to different users, even though all the information resides within one database or application.#
Domino extends a rich set of Notes features for Web application development, such as:#
A programmable content store through Notes databases
Full text search capabilities, with automatic indexing
Integrated application development
Messaging and workflow
Enterprise integration
Notes replication
Domino lets you develop interactive Web applications that:
Deliver dynamic content based on time, user identity, user access level, and client type
Host collaborative applications such as threaded discussions
Extend the reach of RDBM systems to the Web
Streamline and automate business processes with workflow applications
Domino also offers a rich framework for securing Web applications, such as:
The Notes Access Control model to provide a framework for securing Web applications
The Notes Public Address Book, for managing Web users as individuals or in user groups
A sample registration application that automates creating user accounts (available on the Domino site: http://domino.lotus.com)a
Database access control list for controlling access rights to information from the database down to the field levelt
Roles-based assignation of access rights to information
Support for Web basic authentication
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) support for server authentication and encryption of data in secured sessionsh

This section provides a brief technical overview of how Domino works. The following is a brief description of the key concepts of Domino; the figure displays an overview of the Domino architecture.
HTTP Server
Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is the standard Internet protocol that enables Web clients to talk to Web servers. The Domino HTTP server component "speaks" HTTP and, therefore, enables Web clients to communicate with Notes servers.
URL Interface
The Uniform Resource Locator (URL) interface is the standard Internet protocol that enables Web clients to tell Web servers what item they are requesting. The Domino HTTP server examines the URL in the incoming request and determines if the request is for an item in a Notes database or if it's for an HTML file in the file system.
If the request is for an HTML file, Domino acts just like any other HTTP server and serves the file to the Web client. When the request is for something in a Notes database, Domino interacts with the Notes database to serve the information to the Web client or to put information from the Web client into the Notes database.
Domino supports extensions that enable URLs to expose Notes functionality to the Web client. For example, this URL opens the main database on the Domino site: http://domino.lotus.com/domino.nsf?OpenDatabase
HTML Translation
Domino automatically translates Notes constructs such as navigators, views, documents and links into HTML for display in the Web client. For example, Notes links and action buttons become URLs in the Web client. You simply develop your Web application in Notes, and Domino does the rest.
HTTP Basics settings dictate how the server communicates with Web browsers. In this section, you supply the host name, the port number, and other settings related to the machine's Internet connection.
TCP/IP port number (default=80)
Specify the port number on which you want the Domino server to listen for HTTP requests. The industry standard port number for HTTP is 80. Do not use port numbers less than 1024, except for the default of 80, because they are reserved for other TCP/IP applications.
If you set a port number other than 80, clients must include a specific port number on requests to the Domino server. The port number is preceded by a colon and follows the host name in the URL. For example, the URL http://domino.lotus.com:8008/ requests the default page from a host named domino.lotus.com that is listening on port 8008.
If you change the TCP/IP port number, you must stop the Domino server and restart it so the changes take effect.
TCP/IP port status (default=Enabled)
Specify the status of the TCP/IP port. Either the TCP/IP port or the SSL port must be enabled for Domino to operate; you can also enable both ports. Disable this if you want to allow only SSL transactions.
SSL port number (default=443)
Specify the port for SSL security. The Domino server uses this port only for HTTPS requests. Requests for HTTP will still come on the port that you set as the TCP/IP port. If you change this setting, you must stop the Domino server and restart it so the changes take effect.
SSL port status (default=Enabled)
Specify the status of the SSL port. Either the SSL port or the TCP/IP port must be enabled for Domino to operate; you can also enable both ports.
Host name (default=blank)@
Enter the fully qualified host name of the machine on which you install Domino. To use an alias, specify any fully qualified host name that is defined for your machine in your Domain Name Server (DNS). The name you specify here is the name that is returned to the browser. If your machine does not have a host name registered in a DNS, enter the machine's IP address in this field. This allows Web clients to use your machine's IP address to establish communication.
If you leave this field blank, Domino uses the host name specified in the operating system's TCP/IP stack.
DNS lookup (default=Disabled)
Specify whether you want the Domino server to look up the DNS host name of the requesting client. The value you select affects the following things about how the Domino server works:
Performance: If you choose Disabled, the server does not use resources to perform the host name lookup. This improves the performance of the Domino server.
The Domino log files: Log files contain either IP addresses or host name, depending on what you choose. If you choose Disabled, the Domino log files contain IP addresses; if you choose Enabled, the Domino log files contain host names corresponding to the machine used by the Web client.
The Domino log filter: The log filter contains either IP addresses or host names, depending on what you choose. If you choose Disabled, the Domino log filter contains IP addresses; if you choose Enabled, the Domino log filter contains host names corresponding to the machine used by the Web client.
Default home page (default=default.htm)
If you already have an HTML home page, specify the file name here to have it load when users enter the site. The file needs to be in the Domino HTML directory and the Home URL field must be blank.
If you don't have an HTML file, leave this field as is and instead create an About document or navigator in a home database instead, and enter its URL in the Home URL field.
Maximum active threads (default=40)
Specify the maximum number of threads you want to have active at one time. If the maximum is reached, the Domino server holds new requests until another request finishes and threads become available. The more power your machine has, the higher the number of threads you should specify. If your machine spends too much time on overhead tasks, such as swapping memory, specify a lower number of threads.
Minimum active threads (default=20)
Specify the minimum number of threads you want the Domino server to use or have available to use. The Domino server will not close threads below this minimum, even if the threads are idle. The more power your machine has, the higher the number of threads you should specify. If your machine spends too much time on overhead tasks, such as swapping memory, specify a lower number of threads.
HTTP Operational Information settings give caching options for managing disk space and improving performance, image options for the format and display style of Web images, and display options for views and character sets.
Caching options
Cache directory (default=domino\cache
Specify the directory for the Domino server to use to store image files and file attachments. When a user requests a page that contains an image, Domino stores the image in the cache directory. When Domino receives another request for the same page, it displays the image stored in the cache directory to improve performance. Unless you specify a full path, the cache directory is relative to the Notes data directory.
Garbage collection (default=Enabled)
If you enable caching, enable the garbage collection process to prevent the cache file from growing beyond the maximum size you set for it. Garbage collection deletes files that should no longer be cached, starting with the least frequently accessed files. The most frequently accessed files are the last files Domino deletes.
The garbage collection process runs at the times specified in the Garbage collection interval setting.
Garbage collection interval (default=60 minutes)
Garbage collection occurs automatically when the maximum cache size is reached. Specify a time interval in minutes to have Domino regularly remove cached files.
Maximum cache size (default=50MB)
Specify the maximum amount of available disk space, in megabytes (MB), you want the cache to use. If you have plenty of disk space, increase the 50MB default size. The size of the cache usually stays below the maximum but may occasionally grow slightly larger.
Delete cache on shutdown (default=Disabled)
Specify whether you want Domino to delete the cache when you shut down the server.
Image options
Image conversion format (default=GIF
Domino converts images in Notes documents to GIF or JPEG files for display on the Web. Specify the image file format you want Domino to use. The image options that follow depend on the format you choose.
(GIF)
Interlaced rendering (default=Enabled)
Specify whether or not you want Domino to render the GIF images in an interlaced format. Browsers typically display a GIF image while it is being loaded. An interlaced GIF file is one whose image lines are stored out of sequence -- for example, as every eighth row, then every fourth row, then every second row, and so on. To users, the image seems to appear quickly because their eyes tend to "fill in" the missing pieces.
(JPEG) Progressive rendering (default=Enabled)
Specify whether you want Domino to render the JPEG images in a progressive format. Browsers typically load and display a JPEG image in one pass. A progressive JPEG image loads incrementally in several passes: the image becomes clearer with each pass. The effect is that users can identify a progressive JPEG image before it is completely downloaded.
JPEG image quality (default=75)
Specify a percentage for the JPEG image quality. The range is 5 to 100 percent. The larger the value, the larger the file and the better the image quality. The lower the value, the smaller the file, the less time it takes to transmit, and the lower the image quality.
View and character set options
Default lines per view (default=30)
Specify the default number of lines Domino uses to display a Notes view. Note that this setting affects every database on the Domino server.
Default character set
(default=Western)
Specify the default character set that most users are likely to need when they access the server. To offer many character sets, choose Multilingual.

HTTP Timeouts settings give time limits for activities between the Domino Web server and clients or CGI programs.
Idle thread timeout (default=0 minutes)
Specify the length of time, in minutes, the Domino server should keep an idle thread available. A thread becomes idle after the last request to it completes. If the number of threads already available or active is greater than the value on Minimum active threads, and the Domino server does not use the thread again within the specified time, the server closes the thread. If you do not want Domino to drop an idle thread, then specify 0 in this field. Specifying 0 means that Domino will keep the threads active forever.
Input timeout (default=2 minutes)v
Specify the time, in minutes, that a client has to send a request after connecting to the Domino server. A client first connects to the server and then sends a request. If the client does not send a request within the amount of time set here, the Domino server drops the connection.
Output timeout (default=20 minutes)
Specify the maximum time, in minutes, that the Domino server has to send output to a client. The time limit applies to requests for local files and requests. The time limit does not apply to requests that start a local CGI program.
If the Domino server does not send the complete request within the amount of time specified here, the server drops the connection. &
CGI timeout (default=5 minutes)
Specify the maximum time, in minutes, that a CGI program started by the Domino server has to finish. When the time runs out, the server sends a message to the program. After five minutes, the Domino server kills the program.
Domino uses the default character set and character set mapping selection to generate HTML text to and from the browser. If you have international users who need to see text in non-Western languages, you'll need to make changes in the Operational Information and Character Set Mapping fields in the HTTP Server section of the Server document.
Default character seta
(default=Western)
Select one character set (Western, Central European, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Korean, Cyrillic, Greek, Turkish, or Thai) or select Multilingual to allow users to choose their preferred character set when they create or edit documents.
Character set mapping
(default=Latin1
The default character set governs the available choices for character set mapping. For character sets that have several options, you'll also need to select which character set to use. If you chose Multilingual, choose a character set for each language group.
When this field is set to "Yes," individual database access control lists determine the level of access allowed to anonymous Web users.O
When this field is set to "No," Domino overrides individual database access control list settings regarding anonymous users. All anonymous Web users are prompted for a name and password when they try to access the server.
Allow HTTP clients to browse databases (default=Yes)
When this field is set to "Yes," Web users can use the OpenServer URL command to see a list of databases on the server.
When this field is set to "No," Web users can't see a list of databases, although they can still open individual databases for which they have access. Hiding the list of databases is useful if you have virtual servers on one machine or if some databases aren't for Web use.
SSL key file (default=keyfile.kyr)
When the Domino Web server is configured for SSL transactions, it can encrypt data that passes between Web clients and the server. This is the file name for the SSL key ring Domino uses for encryption activities.

Unless you want all Web users to access the server anonymously, you must set up user authentication at the server. Do this by creating Person documents and adding HTTP passwords for all Web users who are allowed access to the Domino server.
The Domino site, http://domino.lotus.com, has a sample registration application that is used to register users who visit the Domino site. Download the sample registration application and customize it for your site, or use it as a guideline and create your own registration application.
Creating a Person document for a Web user
If you manually create Person documents for Web users in the Public Address Book, the minimum information required is a user name in the "User Name" field and a password in the HTTP Password field. When you save the Person document, the HTTP password is encrypted.

The Domino site (http://domino.lotus.com) contains some samples of customized views.
This sample recreates the default look of Web views.

This sample combines a navigator, a view navigation bar, and a list of documents in the current view.
To include HTML code in a Notes document or form, create a text paragraph style and name it HTML. Domino does not convert anything formatted with the HTML paragraph style.
1. Highlight the paragraph you want to format as HTML.
2. Choose Text Properties and click the Styles tab in the InfoBox.
3. Click Create Style, enter HTML in the Style Name field, and click OK.
4. Close the InfoBox.
Details
When you use the HTML paragraph style, it's not necessary to enclose the HTML instructions in brackets.
To hide the HTML code from users who read the document, select the text, choose Text - Text Properties, select the Hide Paragraph tab, and select "Previewed for reading" and "Opened for Reading."
You can't use paragraph styles within tables.
Domino lets you control the size and length of fields in the form. To override the field defaults, enter HTML code in the Help description box of the Field Properties dialog box.
Size and maximum length of text fields
You can specify the size and length of text fields. For example, the following figure specifies that the Name field display 35 characters and accept a maximum of 50 characters.
Number of rows and columns of a text box in rich text fields
You can specify the size of the text box in rich text fields. For example, the following figure specifies that the Comments field be 5 rows long and 25 columns wide.
Maximum number of visible choices in keywords fields
You can specify the maximum number of rows that are visible in keywords fields. For example, the following figure specifies that the Request field have 5 rows. If that field has more than five keywords, a scroll bar appears so users can scroll to other keywords.
Wrap setting for a rich text field
You can specify the wrap setting for a rich text field. For example, the HTML tag WRAP=VIRTUAL in the following figure specifies that text entered in the Comments field wrap and that no line feeds or carriage returns be inserted at the end of lines.

To create links to other Notes documents, views, and databases, you can use any of the following techniques.
A Notes link
Add a Notes link to a document to let users switch to another document, view, folder, or database. In the Web browser, users click the link icon to access the link. This type of link might look like any of the following in Notes:
For example, to create a link to a view, choose Edit -Copy As Link - View Link.
A link hotspot
Add a link hotspot to an area of a document (such as text or a graphic) to let users switch to another document, view, folder, or database. This type of link might look like this in Notes:
An action hotspot
Use an action hotspot with an @Command formula or an @URLOpen formula to create the link. For example:
@URLOpen("http://www.lotus.com")
An action bar
Use an @command formula in the action bar to create the link. For example:
For a view in the current database
@Command([OpenView]); "
viewname
For a view in another database
@Command([OpenView]);"":"
database
"; "
viewname
Passthru HTML
Use passthru HTML to link to any Web page. For example:
To open the By Date view in the Domino Discussion database:

You can customize searching at your site by adding your own design touches to search input and search results forms.
Customizing search queries
When a user clicks the Search link from a view navigation bar or a URL that includes the $SearchForm object, Domino looks in the database (or the search site database in the case of a multiple-database search) for a form with the actual name or the alias name $$Search. If the form exists, Domino opens it; otherwise, Domino displays the default search.htm file.
Domino provides two Notes forms in the Search Site database for user-defined searches. You can copy these forms to any search site database or to any database that allows view-level searches. Use them as is or customize them for each search. You can also customize the default search.htm form.
Web Search Simple ($$Search is the alias name)
This is a Notes version of search.htm but has a link to the Web Search Advanced form.
Web Search Advanced
It allows users to create more detailed searches based on multiple words and phrases, categories, or dates. It includes a link to the Web Search Simple form.
A Search link appears by default in the view navigation bar, but you can customize a view to add different search capabilities.
Customizing search results
To customize the Search Results page, create a $$SearchTemplate form and associate it with a view. The $$ViewBody field displays the list of matching documents.
A few features in the default Search results provided with Domino can't be built into a customized Search results page: a count of the number of documents found, the ability to restate the search query, and a search bar that allows users to reset search results.
Use the following form names and fields to create the association.
Form name
Field required
Comments
$$SearchTemplate for
view
name
$$ViewBody
Associates the form with a specific view. Domino requires the $$ViewBody field, but ignores the value. The form name includes
viewname
, which is the alias for the view, or, when no alias exists, the name of the view. For example, the form named "$$SearchTemplate for All Documents" associates the form with the All Documents view.
$$SearchTemplateDefault
$$ViewBody
Domino requires the $$ViewBody field, but ignores the value. This form is the default for all Web searches that aren't associated with a specific form.
For example, this sample shows a customized Search results page for all views.
