I'm asking because I couldn't figure out how to compute the values in the standard resources page options.  Do I have to add them in the source, just like we are doing in pre xpages dev?

 

All I have in the options are options to use stylesheet or JS file located directly in the design of the NSF, URL but it has to be a valid one and can't see how to get that computed...

You should just be able to copy and paste your css and js into a Resource > Stylesheet or a js Code > Script Library. Then you can just use those resources as you normally would in xpages. Typically, when I have done that, I have renamed the resource. So, for instance if I was using a page to store my css called style.css, I just named my new xpages stylesheet xspStyle.css. That way you don't touch the legacy stuff while you are redeveloping to xpages.

 

Also, as far as the html goes, you can pretty much copy and paste your existing html between the <xp view> tags in your xpage and it will be fine. You'll probably then need to go in an tweak it to get it to work/display correctly, but it beats starting all over from scratch. If you are using <Computed Value> in your html, that will all need to be removed and redone. By and large, the more strictly you adhered to html conventions the easier it will go for you.

- Computed text on a XPage is the <xp:text> tag:

 

<xp:text escape="false" disableTheme="true">
  <xp:this.value><![CDATA[#{javascript:
/* Put your computed text here.  EL (Formula-like) is generally supported, as is arbitrarily complex JS and Java.  Your imagination is literally the limit */

  }]]></xp:this.value>
<xp:text>

 

- The above will literally show up in DDE as { Computed }.

Shorter version (restrictions on what can be in the JS:

<xp:text escape="false" disableTheme="true" value=#{javascript:/* your js/el here */;}" />

- Don't disableTheme unless you have your own CSS, or you don't want automagic <span> ... </span> around your computed output.  I basically never want the automagic <span> ... </span> so I include that as a matter of course.

Hope this helps...
