[EP-tech] Re: Latest Additions

Hi Sebastian,

 i think you can try to add a little Ajax code to the index.xpage where
would you want to be displayed the "latest_tool chunk"

  * /image/roller.gif: you should download it in another place
  * the parameters: n=5 is the number of elements to display

    <div>

      <div id="latest_tool_lookup_status" style="width:68%;">

       <p style="font-size:0.9em;">Loading latest documents in progress <img valign="middle" border="0" src="/images/roller.gif" alt="wait ..."/></p>

     </div>

     <div style="display:none; font-size:1.0em; font-weigth:normal;" id="latest_tool_lookup"></div>

    </div>

    <script type="text/javascript">

      <!--

      $("mail_title").style.display="none";

      ajax = new Ajax.Request('/cgi/latest_tool',

                              {method: 'get',

                               parameters: 'n=5',

                               contentType: "application/xml",

                               onSuccess: function(transport) {

                                 $("latest_tool_lookup_status").style.display="none";

                                 var parser = new DOMParser();

                                 var xmlDoc = parser.parseFromString(transport.responseText, "application/xml");

                                 tables=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("table");

                                 for (i=0;i<tables.length;i++) {

                                   if (tables[i].getAttribute('class')=='ep_tm_main') {

                                            $("latest_tool_lookup").appendChild(tables[i]);

                                   }

                                 }

                                 $("latest_tool_lookup").style.display="block";

                               },

                               onFailure: function() {

                               }

                             }

                            );

     -->

    </script>
