Getting the Correct Syntax for JavaScript in XPages 
By Kathy Brown | 10/5/16 11:39 AM | - | Added by John Oldenburger
I was recently working on a project where my code was injecting XPage elements onto the page at runtime. To do that, you need to know a lot of syntax. Syntax that isn’t in the help file, or blogged about, or easily findable. Sure, there’s this, but that isn’t exactly reader-friendly, nor are there examples of how to use the elements.
Gotcha for Adding Ext JS (or other extras) to Domino Designer
By Kathy Brown | 6/2/15 8:32 AM | - | Added by John Oldenburger
I recently downloaded Ext JS 5 to add to my XPages applications. La dee da, create new application, download Ext JS 5, import into application, do some stuff, close Designer, re-open Designer, attempt to re-open my app, and BOOM. Now I can’t re-open my application. Ext JS5 has a lot of elements straight out of the box.

Repeat Control 101
By Kathy Brown | 5/30/13 2:10 AM | - | Added by Per Henrik Lausten
When I first started working with XPages, I immediately got the concept of repeat controls and saw some of the potential of what they could do. However, when I tried to actually use repeat controls, I ran into some roadblocks. So this is repeat control 101. If you’ve never used a repeat control, or tried it and it didn’t work right, hopefully this article will help you get going.

Simple validation with XPages
By Kathy Brown | 5/17/13 12:19 AM | - | Added by Niklas Heidloff
Of course there is really simple validation for XPages, which includes checking the “Required field” option on an edit box and entering the error message to display to the user. However, some elements do not have this option, and what if you want the field to have validation other than whether or not it is required?
