How to display the contents of a view on a web page without notes automatically converting the first columns to HTML link tags.
This is useful if you want to display a view as a list for information only or prevent a user from clicking through to the document.
Simply insert a new first column in your view and use the following formula;
""
Now when you display the view in a browser the links are no longer there.
If you want to use the same view in the notes client, you'll have to keep the column there, but you can shrink it down, set it to not resizeable and insert a couple of spaces at the beginning of the string.
(This has only been tested in Internet explorer 4&5, I'm not sure if it works the same in Netscape, but it should do)
USER COMMENTS FOR THIS REVIEW:
Regarding the above tip, the display of the view is inconsistant with this method. To make the columns not show up as links you need to select the column property "Show values in this column as links" in the "For Web Access" portion of the "Beanie" tab. Once this has been done and saved, the property can be deselected without changing the display.
You can also get the desired results by using "[</a>]" as the formula. This way you do not have to mess with the column properties. For Notes client access, change the color of the text to white.
