I had the same idea, but you were faster :-)

Care to share? I'd love to build a similar type app for our customer incidents (which are stored in a Notes db) but I'm not sure where to start.

Very nice - I just posted something similar with a form in the sidebar using nothing but Dom. Des. and @formulas. (I tried embedded views, but they don't work too well.)

Denny, I cannot share the whole database - it's way too big :-)

But in brief, here is what I did:

- create a form with a field "SaveOptions" = "0", hide that field

- in queryOpen, put a script which gets your data, puts some html around it and save that in a user specific profile document

- create a computed text, marked as pass-through-html. Use something like @getProfileField("NameOfProfileDocument", "NameOfFieldYouStoredTheHTMLIn"; @username)

Then in Notes 8.0.1, go to preferenes and enable the widget functionality. Then open the database in which you created the form, then click the "Configure a widget from the current context" toolbar button. Change the notes URL to "notes://servername/replicaID/yourform?OpenForm" and finish the wizard. Èt voila, the widget is being created and shows your form with the pass through HTML :-)

Chris, I read your posting. Nice, too! How did you created that? I'm looking for a way to simple have a browser in the widget which I dynamically feed with HTML. Would be much better than Notes pass-through HTML.

Awesome. I will give it a try.

The form I used was pure Notes, although I thought about a way to also do HTML rendering, too, but didn't get too far on that (other, real job got in the way). For real apps (meaning, running on a real Domino server, not local like mine was), you could simply point the widget to a Domino url and use that for the widget - either an agent or something else to create the html you want.
