Xpages Cheatsheet

I read this post on PlanetLotus today.  It is a great four page list of Xpages code, which covers all of the common code used when developing. 

If you have not read this, please follow the link below for the article.  I have also added this to my useful documents section.

Browser debate

A question : when it comes to providing Xpages solutions, which browser would you choose?  

I have been looking into the browser compatability issues this week and have found a few things that simply do not work in either IE7 and IE8, even if the compatability mode is on.  I then moved to dismiss IE from our supported browser clients, which was a simple decision, however, which browser should I use.

The development team have recently been developing and testing using Chrome.  I like the add-on Extensions, I love the speed and I am happy with the usability.  I have never used firefox, but I understand this is a good browser.  We have noticed that everyting works well in both Chrome and Firefox, so I am happy to announce that we will recommend that our Xpages applications should run in Firefox or Chrome.

Rich Text (Continued...)

We have managed to implement two additional features, which are for adding a URL and adding an in-line image. 

There is a great article in the Developer wiki (http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/ddwiki.nsf/dx/04022009010354PMWEBMZZ.htm" title="Link" target=_new>Link).  We implemented the xpages method, by adding a file to the server file system and then calling the dojo from the xpage.  It works quite well, however the image has to be uploaded somewhere before you can reference it, you can't just paste in an image.
