Ways to create documents without submitting a form and without an agent

This weeks [tag]Show-n-Tell Thursday[/tag] revealed as usually some cool things. I would like to point out Tim Tripcony over at TimTripcony.com who has done some testings in the domino-form-agent-document creations thing. This is something we used a couple of years ago but without the XMLHttpRequest object. We used a hidden iframe approach back then, so taking this to a new level by implementing an Ajax-pattern is really cool. Have a look at his post which will contain this code-fragment:

function postMessage (strSendTo, strContent) {
// NOTE: in this example, strMyName, strServerName, and strDbPath are defined elsewhere
var messageBody = “__Click=0&
From=” + strMyName + “&SendTo=” + strSendTo + “&Content=” + strContent;
var AJAXPost = new Ajax.Updater(”PostResponse”,”http://” + strServerName + “/” + strDbPath + “/Message?OpenForm&Seq=1″,{postBody: messageBody});
}
