I cannot manage to make asmall piece of javascript working in a lotus notes 6.5 email.
I’m building a html, send it by mail as a html, and inside I would like to have some links to hide/show a few div.
I try to use document.getElementById but when I click on the link I have the following error:
"document.getElementById is not a function".
I’m thinking using a document.getElementById(id).style.display='none'; to hide it (if I can manage the div).
Any ideas how to show/hide my div?
The HTML engine in Lotus Notes is not anything like you’d get in a browser. I’m fairly certain the error message is correct when it says “document.getElementById is not a function” – there is little to no support for javascript in Notes emails.
If you need to have something hide/show in Notes, you will have to create a Notes form with actions and hide formulas to get the same effect. Then emails can be sent with the form embedded into the email, and when received the email will open that form instead of a typical memo form.
Note, it is unlikely most email clients (Outlook, etc) will support javascript due to the security holes it would open. You might have better luck sending a link to users and then having them open up a Web page or Notes database where you have more control over how things are presented to them.
