I’m creating an XPages application that will display a view that lists all the software applications at our site by name. I’ve got the application name displaying as a link, but I don’t want to open the document from the view when someone clicks on the link. Instead, I’d like to read a field on the underlying document that contains a URL and launch it. This URL could launch a Notes Client application, an Xpages application or just a web site.

What is the best way to retrieve the URL and launch it when the user clicks the link? What are the gotchas for each URL type?

Thanks,

MJ

    Construct your link as HTML. Lets say your field with the URL is called targetURL and your application name field is Subject then you do a computed column type HTML (so no escaping) with:

    "<a href=\""+curRow.getColumnValue("targetURL")+"\">"+curRow.getColumnValue("subject")+"</a>"

    You would have the fields in the view (but you don’t need them in the view control)
