To display an embedded view applet in a Web application
About this task
You can enable an embedded view as an applet independently of the element it is embedded in.
Procedure
- Open a form or page.
- Place the cursor where you want the embedded view to display.
- Choose Create - Embedded element - View and select the view you want to embed.
- Choose Element - View Properties to open the properties box.
- Click the Info tab. In the Web Access field, specify whether
this view should display as an applet by choosing one of the following:
"Using Java™ Applet" indicates that the view applet is used in this embedded view regardless of the view's setting.
"Using HTML"indicates that the view applet is not used regardless of the view's setting.
"Using View's display property" indicates the view's settings are used for this embedded view.
Font support in the view applet
About this task
The view applet provides limited support for fonts. Since current versions of the Java™ Developer's Kit (prior to SDK 1.2) provide very limited support for text fonts, mapping between the Domino® Designer font set and the font set supported by a specific Web browser is constrained by the SDK supported by a browser. This can sometimes produce inconsistent results across different Web browsers. For best results use one of the following font faces: Courier, Helvetica, or Times Roman.
