Why error for one user - xpages

My Xpages application is showing a strange problem. I have an XPage with with a tab control (2 tabs) and each tab has a dynamicviewpanel and a delete button. Each tab shows a different view depending on a condition. The first tab works completely fine for both myself and the user but the second tab, the view shows the correct documents and the delete button works fine for me and a fellow developer but when the user clicks on the delete button in the second tab they receive the error.
<xp:button id="DeleteContract" value="Delete Contract ID">
<xp:eventHandler event="onclick" submit="true"
refreshMode="complete">
<xp:this.action>
<xp:actionGroup>
<xp:confirm
message="Are you sure?">
</xp:confirm>
<![CDATA[#{javascript:var viewPanel=getComponent
("dynamicViewPanel3");
var docIDArray=viewPanel.getSelectedIds();
for(i=0; i < docIDArray.length; i++){
var docId=docIDArray[i];
var doc=database.getDocumentByID(docId);
doc.remove(true);
}}]]>
</xp:actionGroup>
</xp:this.action>
</xp:eventHandler>
</xp:button>
The error being presented on the browser is "Exception occurred calling method NotesDocument.remove(boolean) null"
The logs do not tell me much either
All the permissions are the same for each tab etc so it shouldn't be a permissions issue. Why would this be occurring?

Discovered the logic in the solution was working after all. It was bad feedback that was making us think the specific user could delete in one tab but not the other. After discovering the user could not delete from any tab, we found that they were a member of another lotus notes group that we could assign deletion privileges to and then all was working for them. Stupid I know, but it was confusing feedback that made me assume the user could delete in one tab but not the other. Thanks to all who contributed

Xpages typeahead in dialog does not work unless onChange triggered first

UPDATED at bottom...
I have a custom control that contains an input field with typeAhead enabled:
<xp:inputText id="UTAN1" value="#{document1.UTAN}"
maxlength="5" styleClass="dbListFieldData" style="width:60px;font-size:13px;">
<xp:typeAhead mode="full" minChars="2">
<xp:this.valueList><![CDATA[#{javascript:var key = getComponent("UTAN1").getValue();
var path = new Array("","utans.nsf")
#Unique(#DbLookup(path,"(UTAN Lookup)",key,1,"[PARTIALMATCH]"));}]]></xp:this.valueList>
</xp:typeAhead>
<xp:eventHandler event="onchange" submit="true"
refreshMode="partial" refreshId="utanPanel1">
<xp:this.action>
<!-- DO SOME STUFF -->
</xp:this.action>
</xp:eventHandler>
</xp:inputText>
If I use the control inline on an xpage, typeAhead works fine.
However, if I insert the control in a dialog and call it to open:
<xp:link escape="true" id="link3" styleClass="dbListFieldData" >
<xp:eventHandler event="onclick" submit="false" id="eventHandler3">
<xp:this.script><![CDATA[XSP.openDialog('#{id:miniDialogUTAN1}');]]></xp:this.script>
</xp:eventHandler>
<xp:image id="image2" url="/edit2.png" style="height:16px;width:16px;" alt="Edit UTAN"></xp:image>
</xp:link>
The typeAhead seems to be partly crippled.
If the field is already empty, suggestions comes up fine.
If the field has an existing value, backspacing only shows the existing value as a suggestion.
Overwriting the value entirely gives no suggestions at all.
The only thing that will get the typeAhead working is to change the value and hit Enter. Basically, trigger an onChange. After that, ALL the typeAhead fields start working.
Any ideas on how to correct this behavior? FYI, I'm an xpages noob, so please go easy on me.
UPDATE 6/29/2021:
I'm still desperately in need of help with this. I've been playing around with Firebug and found something interesting.
In type-aheads on a normal Xpage form (where type-ahead works), entering each character calls a POST every time. However, when the type-ahead is in a dialog, typing in characters calls GETs. If I hit Enter or tab out of the field (triggering onChange), I get a single POST, and then clicking back into the field and typing, it starts using GETs again and it pulls valid suggestions as long as I don't backspace and type something different. Then the suggestions go away. This would be expected since GETs are cached and POSTs are not.
So what's going on with type-aheads in dialogs that makes them use GET, and how to I force it to use POST on every key press?
To people of the future...
After weeks of fretting over this and finally giving up I stumbled upon the solution by accident.
My dialog opens in read mode. I have both an Edit button and a Cancel button at top and bottom that were originally hard coded in both spots of the dialog custom control. Later I went to clean some stuff up and decided to create a single custom control for both sets of buttons. Once I did that, suddenly the type-aheads worked!
It turns out that when I copied and pasted the XML from the (supposedly) duplicate button panels to the new custom control, I had copied from the bottom button panel (which I rarely used while testing).
When I compared the XML for the top and bottom Edit Buttons, I found that the top one had the following attributes in the onClick:
<xp:eventHandler event="onclick" submit="true" refreshMode="complete">
while the bottom one had:
<xp:eventHandler event="onclick" submit="true" refreshMode="partial" refreshId="dialogOuterPanel1">
So, the full refresh broke my type-aheads and a partial refresh fixed them.

Not executing SSJS code in eventHandler with complete refreshMode in XPages

It's been 3 weeks since I've been struggling with this problem
onClick eventHandler rejects to show any signs of being working properly when it goes hand in hand with refreshMode="complete"
The code is below:
<xp:button id="begginYOU"
style="float: right; margin-right:20px;"
value="Send">
<xp:eventHandler event="onclick" refreshMode="complete"
submit="true">
<xp:this.action><![CDATA[#{javascript:
print("I will never get this message printed with complete refreshMode");
}]]>
</xp:this.action>
</xp:eventHandler>
</xp:button>
I've tried everything - setting properties of id (on eventHandler itself), adding CSJS code which returns true (the message which I've added to console.log was always printed btw), setting disableValidators to true
I've even tried to remove all the inputs and just leave this one button on the entire page - nothing helped
Whenever I click the button - all I get is just a loading next to the tab's icon in the browser for just half a second and nothing, literally NOTHING happens
It ONLY works with refreshMode and execMode set to partial (provided that I provide ids respectively) but I have no idea why
It really drives me around the bend
But anyway I hope to receive experts' opinion on that problem, because I've run out of ideas
Many thanks in advance

Working dialog code from one application does not work in another application

I've working code to open dialog box using SSJS code to show error or warning to user when user click submit button. This button appears at the top of the xpage.
Applied the modified version of the above code in another application but instead of top of xpage, put button in section. If comboBox1 has initial value it is suppose to popup the dialog box. But it is not working. The client side validation is off in working as well as non working application. Why this code is not working? Where to check?
Here is code for a section button:
<xp:button value="Must click to Assign Quote Number" id="button6" style="width:207.0px">
<xp:eventHandler event="onclick" submit="true" refreshMode="complete" immediate="false" save="true">
<xp:this.action>
<xp:executeScript>
<xp:this.script><![CDATA[#{javascript:var comboBox1:com.ibm.xsp.component.xp.XspSelectOneMenu = getComponent("comboBox1");
var a=comboBox1.getValue();
if ( a=="Assign the PE Staff"){
var d=getComponent('dialog2');
d.show();
}
}]]></xp:this.script>
</xp:executeScript>
</xp:this.action></xp:eventHandler>
</xp:button>
Things to check off the top of my head:
Check that Ext Lib is loaded properly in new app (check application properties)
Check that namespace for ExtLib is on the new page (drag any Ext Lib control on the page, and this will be added for you)
Check that resources from the first page are on the new one (script libraries, etc)
Try print("var a=" + a) to see if comboBox1 is giving you a value (check your server log.nsf)
If you give more info on what is happening when it doesn't work then we might be able to suggest more things to check.

Action Group condition breaks inside tabbed table

I have a clickable image in a multi-tab tabbed table. The onclick event has two action groups (under one parent action group) with conditions. Each action group has one action. The first action group condition is "return false". Its action is a confirm that says "Test 1". The second action group condition is "return true" and its action is a confirm that says "Test 2".
When the above clickable image is anywhere but inside the tabbed table except the default tab, it appears to ignore the condition tests and as a result, both actions are triggered. If the image is inside the default tab, or if it outside of the tabbed table, it works as expected, showing on the second action (Test 2).
Note: If I replace the confirm actions with execute script actions, the conditions work. It appears this is specific to confirm actions.
Here is a sample of the clickable image code.
<xp:image url="/my.gif" id="image1" alt="Click here" style="cursor:hand;height:16.0px;width:17.0px">
<xp:eventHandler event="onclick" submit="true" refreshMode="complete" id="eventHandler1">
<xp:this.action>
<xp:actionGroup>
<xp:actionGroup condition="#{javascript:return false;}">
<xp:confirm message="Test 1"></xp:confirm>
<xp:executeScript>
<xp:this.script><![CDATA[#{javascript:try{
var val = getComponent("cfMessage").getValue();
getComponent("cfMessage").setValue("test 1")}
catch(e){}}]]>
</xp:this.script>
</xp:executeScript>
</xp:actionGroup>
<xp:actionGroup condition="#{javascript:return true;}">
<xp:confirm message="Test 2"></xp:confirm>
<xp:executeScript>
<xp:this.script><![CDATA[#{javascript:try{
var val = getComponent("cfMessage").getValue();
getComponent("cfMessage").setValue(val+", test 2")}
catch(e){}}]]>
</xp:this.script>
</xp:executeScript>
</xp:actionGroup>
</xp:actionGroup>
</xp:this.action>
</xp:eventHandler>
</xp:image>
The tabbed table that contains this code is unexceptional. I drug a new tabbed table control onto the page, created two tabs, and added clickable images to both tab panels.
Thoughts?
As you already noticed, it's not related to Tabbed panel.
What I found is that after a partial refresh on the component, XPages does not care condition attribute if it has client side interaction.
It seems like a bug (and a similar one is known since 8.5.2)
I would create two different images with different set of actions and control visibility with rendered tags.

How to open a classical Notes document in a new client tab, triggered by a XPage

I have to implement the following request, but all my tries failed:
If you click on a button/link in a XPage (XPiNC), a classic Notes-Document shall be created in another Notes Database. This new Notes document has to be open in a new client tab beside the tab with the XPage.
I’ve tried several ways with
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().redirect("notes://server/anotherdb/newdocumentunid?openDocument")
but none of them led to the desired result (There were 3 tabs opened or the XPage tab is empty).
Have you tried using window.open in client side javascript.
Add the code window.open("Notes://database/view/document?EditDocument")
that should work.
EDIT:
It is possible to execute CSJS from SSJS with view.postScript().
<xp:button value="client" id="button3">
<xp:eventHandler event="onclick" submit="true" refreshMode="partial" disableValidators="true">
<xp:this.action><![CDATA[#{javascript:var url = myJavaClass.createNewDocumentAndReturnNotesUrl(); view.postScript("window.open('" + url + "')");}]]></xp:this.action>
</xp:eventHandler>
</xp:button>
CSJS function window.open(url) is executed from SSJS after creating document in other database and getting back the URL for the new document. This way, the code is only executed when button is clicked and new document opens in a new window.
Actually, to create a document in the other database, you don't need to worry about what the document's UNID is. Just use this javascript:
window.open("Notes://database/form?CreateDocument")
