the total.
var nav:NotesViewNavigator = database.getView("By category").createViewNav();
var entry:NotesViewEntry = nav.getFirst();
while (entry != null && !entry.isTotal()) {
requestScope.status += "\n" +
entry.getPosition(".") + " " +
entry.getColumnValues().firstElement().toString() + " has" +
entry.getChildCount().toFixed() + " immediate entries";
var tmpentry:NotesViewEntry = nav.getNextSibling(entry);
entry.recycle();
entry = tmpentry;
