Customizing Domino Web Access
You can customize the look of Domino Web Access. Using Domino Designer, you can add action buttons to views or dialog boxes, provide additional choices for the Welcome Page, and replace the Domino Web Access logo with a corporate logo. You can modify the following forms and subforms in the Domino Web Access FORMS6.NSF file:
For example, you may want to add choices to the list of Web sites that can be displayed in the Welcome Page. To do this, you modify the Custom_WelcomePage form. There are two arrays that can be modified. One array is for the title of the web site, the other array is for the URL of the web site. The template uses JavaScript, so it is possible to "calculate" a web site, for example, one based on the user's name or current mail database. You can write code in the Scene_PreSubmit function (inside the Custom_JS_Extensions form) to validate the new field. Note that the Welcome Page in this example uses the monthly calendar view.

var gWelcomePageChoices = {

    titles:[

         "Yellow Pages"

        ,"CNN"

        ,"IBM"

        ,"My monthly calendar"

    ],

    urls:[

         "http://www.superpages.com/"

        ,"http://www.cnn.com/"

        ,"http://www.ibm.com/"

        , "../../inotes/calendar/?opendocument&ui=portal&presetfields=s_CalView;M"

    ]

};
