Remove "No Documents Found" message from empty views

I have been developing Web-based Domino applications for about 4 years now. I have always been annoyed by that big "No Documents Found" message on empty Web views.

I have developed several ways to remove this message. Here is the easiest.

Add this code to the form that the view is embedded in or the $$ViewTemplate form for the view.

This code makes all H2 text in the document invisible. Remember to make the color of the text the same color as the background.


REM "Just add this code to the HTML Head Content event in R5";
REM "or the $$HTMLHead field in 4.x";
REM "Make the color of the text the same color as the background.";

"<style type="text/css"> <!--    
H2{ color: #FFFFFF; }
--> </style>"
