April Fool Revisited
On a day when it's hard to know what to believe I'll make it easy for you: this post is a joke. It's still makes me laugh when I remember my "JavaScript to launch Notes Client" prank. The funniest part was the number of people who really fell for it, even after so many of you had pointed out it was a joke.
Well, using yesterday's CSS technique, I've improved it a little. So, here it is again - the improved Notes Launcher: Click me to launch Notes.
The old version had the obvious giveaway that the
Taking it a step further too far we could use some code to make it appear in the centre of the screen, rather than the centre of the browser - the other giveaway.

I'm still laughing [ still or yet? :-/ ], Jake. It's a wonderfull joke ... ho-ho-ho ...
I wonder why in Great Britain the "joke's day" is April, 1th and, in Spain, for example, the day ( it's called "Santos Inocentes" ) is December, 28th ...
I'd like ALL the world celebrates the "joke's day" the same day ... I think it would be better for all of us ... ;-)

Richard, don't know what the problem is (maybe you should upgrade your Domino server to 6.5.4FP6.5.1_for_Sametime6.5.1FP6.5.4_for_Domino6.5.4), but the link works just fine for me. Maybe it's because I didn't recognize Jake pointing out, it's a joke. You know, I'm no native speaker ...
the classic is better and without errors (no red death) :-)
