Lotus Domino Designer 8.5 Help - URL commands for creating, deleting, editing, opening, and saving documents

APPLICATION DESIGN

URL commands for creating, deleting, editing, opening, and saving documents
The following commands manipulate documents in a database. Hidden design elements are hidden from the server too; you can’t use IBMR LotusR Domino(TM) URL commands to access documents in hidden views.

Note The URLs shown below are for example only. They do not point to existing Web sites.

CreateDocument

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.

Syntax

http://Host/Database/Form?CreateDocument

http://Host/Database/FormName?CreateDocument

Where:

FormName is the name of the form being accessed.

Note The following items may be lost or corrupted if they are in a rich text field which is edited with a Web browser using Domino Web Server:

embedded images -- may be visible when editing, but will be lost when the document is saved;
tab tables -- only the visible row will be saved;
"hide when" paragraphs which are hidden from the Web -- the entire paragraph will be lost when the document is saved.

Avoid using these items in a rich text field if that field is to be edited with a Web browser.
