Strange Javascript numbers in IE9

Posted by on 10 October,2011 No comments

I got a strange error today. I loaded some data using Ajax from a Domino view.

Looped thru the data and did some addition with the numbers. Nothing strange with this and
this code have been in production for a long time.

tot+=parttot 

This code stopped working in IE9 both with and without compability mode. The code worked in Chrome and Firefox. If I ran the code using the IE9 debugger it also worked. But in IE9 it started to display the last parttot in the tot variable.

Strange or what???
It gets more strange. I changed the code to

tot=tot+parttot 

and now the code works in all browsers.

Lotus Notes Foo or will it be XWork Client

Posted by on 9 October,2011 No comments

Ed Brill talks about the roadmap for Domino, this is great customers want to know that the road continues. He has made up a name called Foo for the next version of Notes/Domino because the name is not decided yet. But he tells that there will be a 8.5.4 version and a Foo Version or as I think it will be named
XWork Client.
IBM released the new XPage server a couple of days ago and this server is called XWork Server
Link to some info regarding this (Link 1, Link 2, Link 3).
Due to the fact that IBM want to drop the Lotus Notes name, xWork will probably be used instead. I think XWork is a good new name because this describes very good what the Lotus Notes/Domino always has done it eXtends your Work. It’s a eXtra hand when your work.
It’s not just another software, it help you become more productive, it helps you and your colleagues to do more. Lotus Notes was an application framework before that was invented.

So I’m excited to see what the next step is for the XWork framework.

 

Select your web preview port

Posted by on 5 October,2011 2 comments

Before 8.5.3 local web preview often didn’t work for a number of reasons. Skype blocking port 80,

HTTP Server: Error – Unable to Bind port 80, port may be in use or user needs net_privaddr error

Or some other problem. Now your problems is solved, just open preference -> Domino Designer and change the port to a higher port i.e. 5000.

 

8.5.3 is live on my work machine

Posted by on 4 October,2011 No comments

I’ve installed 8.5.3 on My work machine.
So far everything works great. Need to really get time to try out all the new features sorting of ft results, running web querysave agents and the PostScript event (this name is really funny and unfortunately it didn’t make it to the Gold Release 🙁  ).
There are so many new functions in 8.5.3 great work IBM getting this out. I’m looking forward to start using this in production.

Where does SSJS print show in the notes client

Posted by on 8 September,2011 2 comments

Where does SSJS Print() in the client end up I answered a question in the XPage forum yesterday but I thought that this might be something worth writing
a line about because this is one of the things that I was wondering about when starting with XPages. To view the print statement you should look in the menu
Help -> Support -> view trace
Or you could create a new icon and in the property box for target
add the following -RPARAMS – console
The last param is also great when debugging Notes clients that doesn’t startup. But beware if you close the console window the client crashes!!

Watch what you put in you scoped varables

Your XPage app may run out of memory if you put js functions/classes or domino objects in scoped variables because these objects is not Serializable. So because you can it is not always ok to do that 😉

Custom controls and library controls

Posted by on 22 August,2011 4 comments

I read today in a blog post by Niklas Heidloff that IBM has been thinking about of building a converter of custom controls to extension library controls.

I think that isn’t any good idea, why because the installation of extension library is
alot of work today why would you like to have even more controls that needs to be installed into the designer and updated individually?
If this should become a good idea, then we need a new way of updating all these controls like the updater in Chrome or Firefox.
And the updater can have several update sites so you can have one on your local domino server for your own controls and one on OpenNTF.org.

The Oracle Google Android lawsuit

Posted by on 5 August,2011 No comments

>I read that the lawsuit that Oracle has done against Google for using Java in the Android operating system demanding $6 billons. That is alot of money. But I also read that Google has bought 1000 patents from IBM and that sale had gone thru recently.

I’ll bet that one or more of these 1000 patents is going to be used to do a counter lawsuit that will block the use of Oracles database engines. So Oracle will be forced to drop the lawsuit.
Apple has also done a lawsuite that is blocking Samsung for selling Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Australia and the US.
I understand that someone wants to get payed for the development they have done, but this is getting ridiculous!!!
Where would we be if all companies where working like this all the time?
