I have a file download control on custom control and this custom cotrol is there in xpage. Now when I click on attachment link in file download control, i get a prompt "Do you want to open or save this file". If i click on cancel/open/save... the xpage gets un responsive and no button works (I have edit and close button on page).
Which version of Domino and which browser are you using. Bear in mind 8.5.2 uses Dojo 1.5 but Internet Explorer 9 only supports Dojo 1.6 onwards.
If this is the problem, partial refreshes will not work anywhere on any XPage. to overcome it you should be able override the IE version.

Server: Domino 8.5.3 / Window 2003 5.2
We have a strange Problem. Since a few days, we cannot apply changes to our XPage application. Even, if we make some few text changes and open the application, the changes are not displayed. We looked into the generated XPage-Java-classes, here we can see, that the changes were applied to these classes.
Also, we tried to create a new Test-XPage, but if we open this xpage, the error "404 item not found" is displayed.
We also tried this http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21327454 but it doesn't help....
We have already restarted the http task and the server.
It looks very much like your XPages don't compile anymore. You can check that by opening the Navigator view in the Domino Designer and check webContent/web-inf/classes. Every XPage translates into a Java class and it seems that has stopped. You can try the Project menu option "clean" and you want to right click on the nsf and check the project properties if a builder has been disabled or is missing.
Next stop: reinstall Designer. Since the compilation happens in Designer, that's where you need to look
I am trying to setup xPage as Welcome page for notes client and to be deployed via policies. Only issue it opens up 2 window, one which is Bookmarks.nsf frameset and second one is the xPage. Tried many different ways to close frameset, but some internal setting doesn't like this since its a welcome page frame... any ideas or if somebody has done similar project.
I tried opening a view thru welcome page which opens up the xPage and then to close the view in Postopen event, but no luck. also tried same with Form.
Appreciate help .. badly stuck in it.
One way to do that is:
open your xpage in the client
right click on the tab and create a new bookmark for it
right click on the newly created bookmark and click "set bookmark as home page"
I don't know if you can do that via policies, but at least it works if I do it interactively
You can set this by policy by adding to the ini
StartupDB =
That will load the NSF every time the client opens. This command does not respect the enforce flag as its enforced by default, do not set the enforce flag...
You can also set the nsf to replicate by policy so remote users will be able to open it as well.
Does anyone else got the problem that you cannot preview an XPage from the "Preview in Notes" toolbar button w/o getting the error "404 The requested resource cannot be located"?
When I set the XPage as "launch option" for the application I can load it in the Client.
Yes, I have "build automatically" activated. In the browser it also works as intended.
Works fine for me.
XPiNC can sometimes cache application settings where XPages is involved. Try "Clear Private Data" from the Refresh drop-down button. Alternatively, I've sometimes needed to close and re-open Notes to pick up changes.
My preferred mode of development is to use a browser and just use XPiNC for a final check.
On my sharepoint site I am unable to add an existing basic webpart to a page where I've added webparts before. I am a site owner. I am using IE 8. I also work remotely using VPN.
The strange thing is IE won't even open up the EDIT MODE.
When I use Google Chrome, it is able to open up EDIT MODE, and it was also able to open up the Add Web Part popup, but when you actually select a web part and press ADD...nothing gets added to the main page.
The extra strange thing is from Google Chrome, I am able to delete and modify existing webparts.
I've upgraded to IE 9 and the same issue still happens.
i assume the similar issue you would be facing with firefox it seems your css is not compliant with IE8 try using ie8 in campatibility mode or use following querystring parameter at end of ur url
toolpaneview=2 and see what is the result
I had that problem and it appeared that a CSS file was messing up with the Ribbon controls.
Try to disable a CSS file at a time.

Pedro
We had this issue (or at least a very similar one) where, in edit page mode, clicking on 'Add a Web Part' had no effect. I was assuming that it is a JavaScript issue. In, I beleive, the same day, it effected both my Production and DEV Site Collections, in IE8, Firefox and Chrome. We restarted all of our servers and ran the config wizard. No good.
We were able to create new pages which seem to be uneffected.
For an existing page, our workaround is to edit the properties of the page, then, down at the bottom, select 'Open Page in Maintenance View'. Select one of the Web Parts and Close it. Note: It seems as though if you unselected the 'Allow Close' checkbox, it wont be on this list. Then click on the 'Go Back to Web Part Page'. Click on the zone where the closed Web Part was. You may now be able to 'Add a Web Part'. If so, the last Web Part folder on the left will be 'Closed Web Parts' which I beleive you can put back (Open) the closed Web Part.
I have see this issue occur when someone else has the current page open in edit mode. Until that person either checks in or undoes there checkout you will not be able to edit the page.
So we couldn't open .pdf in the browser in our SP2010 site. I set the setting to permissive browser file handling in central admin. I then found out that there's a bug that if a site is created from a custom template the pdf files uploaded to that site will still prompt for either Save or Cancel. I ran a hotfix on the server
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2459108
Consider the following scenario:
You set Browser File Handling to Permissive for a web application in the General settings page in SharePoint 2010 Central Administration.
You create a document library, and then upload an html document.
You open the html document in the browser.
Note You are not prompted to download the html document and it is rendered in the browser.
You select to include the content when you save the SharePoint site as a template.
You use the template to create a new SharePoint site in the same web application.
In this scenario, the Browser File Handling list setting for the document library in the new site is set to Strict. Additionally, when you open the html document, you are prompted to download the file.
Now when I click on a pdf with firefox I can open it directly but with internet explorer (8 and 9, default settings) I still can't do it, what's the solution here?
Edit: Maybe it always worked in firefox, anyway, when I create a new library it works as expected. How can I run this setting on all libraries?
There's a different, more subtle, but simpler root cause of this problem.
After much web searching and many hours with MSFT support, as hard as this may be to believe, it turns out that the root cause of my "SharePoint won't open PDF documents" problem was actually an Adobe extension/add-on. The symptom was an Adobe error msg "failed to open" after clicking the PDF list item in a document library. The culprit, an Adobe extension/add-on: "Adobe Acrobat SharePoint OpenDocuments Component".
I do not know how this got installed. What I do (finally) know is that this component actually does the exact opposite of what its name implies, i.e., it apparently prevents PDF documents from opening up when clicked in a SharePoint 2010 document library.
After various failed attempts to solve this problem (including changing "Browser File Handler" settings on the web app server from "Strict" to "Permissive" and other fixes suggested below and elsewhere on various blogs and web sites), nothing fixed the problem until we disabled this Adobe extension/add-on. Then, problem solved.
Note that you may not see this component in the "Tools > Manage Add-Ons" list until after attempting to open a PDF document from the library: apparently the add-on isn't activated (won't appear in that list) until an 'open' attempt is made. SO - if at first you don't see the component listed, try to open a PDF file and check the list again. If this component appears, disable it, and your problem is likely to go away.
Baffling, at best; or worse, actually nefarious on Adobe's part ...?
I'd still like to know how to get the PDF to open in a separate browser tab in IE vs. displacing the active tab. If anyone can help with that, please let me know! No custom coding solutions, PLEASE!
There is a better way to handle "Browser File Handle" issue. Take a look at my blog here: http://www.pdfsharepoint.com/sharepoint-2010-and-pdf-integration-series-part-1/
Solution #2 addresses Pdf extension without exposing entire Web Application to "Permissive" browsing. Setting "Browsing File Handle" to "permissive" opens too many vulnerabilities with other file extensions.
Thanks,

I have the same problem - originally installed Office Web apps, then turned that off, turned on the open in client application, then changed the setting on each doc library to open in browser .. Still have a problem with PDFs though.
If somebody includes a link to them in an announcement, then that person can open, other not. But only in IE - in FF there is no problme
Just change the Browser File Handling for the Web Application from the central admin as:
Central Administration > Application Management > Manage Web Applications
go to your Web Application example "http://sharepoint:80, just select it
from the top ribbon click "General Settings"
go down to "Browser File Handling" and change it to "Permissive"
If am not clear go to http://www.pdfsharepoint.com/sharepoint-2010-and-pdf-integration-series-part-1/
try this:
Make sure you're the site collection admin. Go into the site (not the central admin) and then go to site settings then go to site collection features. In there you will find the setting for " Open Documents in Client Applications by Default " it will probably be deactivated. Active it and you're good to go. users will then open attachments in their windows assigned applications, not the sharepoint web apps.
Also, try going into adobe reader and in the settings there is an option to open with the browser. check or uncheck it based on what you want it to do.
Encryption and SharePoint don't play well together
Right click My Documents or source folder
Select Properties > Advanced (button)
Uncheck "Encrypt contents to secure data"
This should solve many SharePoint problems you might have, including files not opening properly.
Appreciate this is an old post but still very relevant today. I spent a while trying to get this to work - just thought I'd share my findings.
This is specific to Adobe Acrobat. If you use a different PDF viewer, such as SumatraPDF the issue does not occur.
1. To prevent the 'Open, Save, Save As' dialog box in Internet Explorer:
This is specific to the versions of Acrobat. Set the following key/value:
Key: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\*acrobat_version_number*\FeatureLockDown\cSharePoint
Value Name: bDisableSharePointFeatures
Value Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 0x1 (hex)
e.g.
For Acrobat X:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\11.0\FeatureLockDown\cSharePoint
2. To disable PDFs opening in the browser
This is specific to the versions of Acrobat. Set the following key/value:
Key: HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\acrobat_version_number\Originals
Value Name: bBrowserIntegration
Value Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 0x0 (hex)
e.g.
For Acrobat X:
HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\11.0\Originals
