Classic Domino and HTML 5
Sometimes a simple web application based on classic Domino is in place.
However Domino has not been updated in this area for many years.
If you create a form and use it on the web it will create a very old HTML document type.
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
In 2024 you probably want to use HTML 5 and some of the newer features in it.
Fortunately you can change it to HTML 5.
Example:
Add a field, "Computed for display" type, named $$HTMLFrontMatter and set it to "<!DOCTYPE html>"
Here is simple example using HTML 5 features.
Adding the "required" property to the field for HTML 5 client validation
In browser this will show if you try to submit an empty field
Also you can see the HTML 5 feature of showing SVG graphics.
Note ... on Database properties you need to turn off "Use JavaScript when generating pages" to make validation work
