customview.html and Features

[Sebwing]

Hi anyone,
i am working in a large company and we use LL 9.2. I ve access to my department LL-space. We store several MS-Word documents in a folder. Today we download the documents to cut&paste parts of the document into each other to get a large one. Now I am thinking about doing this dynamically on the LL-Server. There should be a HTML webside with some input fields where the user can choose which doc. he want to download. Maybe an idea is to generate a template document with all the choosen documents as a LL-link in it.
So my question is, what is generally possible with the customview feature? I ve read that also JavaScript, VBScript and Java applets are supported. Does anyone have some tutorials or docs about it? Or has anyone did something similar to what I ve described before?
Thanks a lot! Seb.

customview supports general html tags like anchor href's client javascripting etc.It is by design not able to execute
any livelink(oscript or weblingo code).It is generally static html page.
to create a customview.html take any static html page
make it aesthetic etc,if you need gif/jpg images you can either store that is livelink as an object or in the support directory if you did not want permissions to slow loading them.Now if your html page opens in IE fine now rename that to exactly 'customview.html' and load it into any folder in livelink.When the page loads you shoud see all
your gimmicks.

If you want dynamic actions consider using webforms and
their lookup module capability.This will allow you not to hard code stuff

Well, if I called the wrong number, why did you answer the phone?
