Detailed Description:
This sample database demonstrates how to use JavaScript to provide address book functionality for Domino Web users, and how to incorporate context-sensitive help documents in Web applications (Domino R4.5 and later). The technique uses simple browser detection and field validation routines, and shows you how to create interactive dialog boxes by using Notes forms, pass-thru HTML, and generation of JavaScript at the browser. The sample dialog boxes add most of the functionality and look of the native Domino Public Address Book for the Web, as well as context-sensitive help.

For more information on the design strategy and JavaScript techniques, see the Iris Today article "Domino and JavaScript: Dynamic Partners (Part 3)."


If you decide to customize the sample database, make sure that the doclink in the "About" document still links to the only document in the "DemoDocument" view. Also, make sure to copy the AddressBox$nn and AddressBox$ie3 forms into your database design.
