Hotspots

In form design, subform design, page design, navigator design, layout region design, and rich text fields, you can create hotspots. A hotspot activates when the user selects it and can be any of several types:

  • A link hotspot jumps to another object. As the designer, you supply the link.
  • A text pop-up displays text. As the designer, you supply literal text.
  • A button performs an action. As the designer, you supply a simple action, or formula, LotusScript, or JavaScript code.
  • A formula pop-up displays text based the result of a formula. As the designer, you supply a formula.
  • An action hotspot performs an action. As the designer, you supply a simple action, or formula, LotusScript, or JavaScript code.

Buttons and action hotspots are the same except that a button appears as a button and an action hotspot appears as highlighted text.

@Commands are not allowed in formula pop-up hotspots.

A hotspot runs on the user's workstation.
