Views built with this toolkit support, for example, quick search, alternating row colors, keyboard commands for opening documents and navigation (Enter, PgUp, PgDn), plus logic that 'remembers' its users -- i.e., returns users to the same position they were in when they left. Targeted at professional Domino development companies, the technology can be easily implemented in Web-enabled applications. And since the full source code is included, developers can adapt all functions to suit their particular needs. The license allows royalty free redistribution of this technology once embedded in Domino applications. A five-minute demo is available on the company's Web site. http://www.ideax.info Fatwire extends its Domino Bridge [Fatwire] Fatwire Software Corp., a Mineola, N.Y.-based content management vendor, has released a new add-on module that enables its flagship Content Server software to interoperate with Lotus Notes and Domino.
