Instant MSN Messages

Posted on February 28, 2003 by qtzar

There seems to be a lot of Instant Messenger talk going on between Bruce Elgort and Alex Hernandaz. There are not the only ones looking at IM on their Blogs, I’ve been doing a bit of research myself.

I’ve looked at the Online Status Indicator tool and I’ve noticed a few things. First of all you don’t need to ‘register’ to use it. Just point to the URL and it works anyway. Secondly if uses a small bit of VBScript to start up MSN messenger so it should be fairly easy to make clickable links from that.

<BODY ONLOAD=VBScript:IMessenger.InstantMessage(“qtzar@hotmail.com”)>

I’ll be working on it….

Domino Generated HTMl headers

Posted on February 21, 2003 by qtzar

This has been driving me crazy for a while but I finally managed to get it working.  And it was so simple I feel like kicking myself…

Basically I have been trying to get my domino http server to stop putting the html head and body codes around my forms when viewed over the web.  Why do I want to do this? Well the form I’m outputting is a single field that contains css code and the html head and body tags break the validation of the css.

Turning off the auto generated domino stuff was so simple but it took ages to find at especially as some sites said it was not possible.  So here it is for all to see…

To turn off the auto generated crap that domino insists on putting around forms you go to the forms properties and on the second tab ( in R6 anyways ) set the ‘On Web Access Content Type’ to HTML and then save the form.
