Hi. I have customized DocView.aspx (and .vb) a little bit in Visual Studio.
I am having some minor and major problems.

1 - Title tag can not be changed using the title tag in the html head. How can I do this?

2 - Where does WLConnection.LogError write error information?

3 - the querystring param &cr=1 can cause an error the first time Docview.aspx is shown,
but it isn't being written by me. Is there any way to avoid this?

4 - I don't think this is related to #3.
On a server, I get an error on the first DocView.aspx try, but it works on the second try.
If there is no action for 20 minutes, then next time I try, I get an error.
Is there a session connection that I can open before the first use and keep open?

5 - This was asked here, but no answer was given.

In brief, does anyone know why these work in WebLink 8.3, but not in WebLink 9?
MetadataTab.Style("Display") = "none"
AnnotationsTab.Style("Display") = "none"

Thanks, Howard

I solved #'s 1 and 4, and I think #3 is related to 4. So if anyone can help on these two others, I'd appreciate it.

- Where does WLConnection.LogError write error information? I'd like to be able to add Exception info.

- The left side of DocView.aspx has 3 tabs, but I need to hide two of them. In WebLink 8.3, these worked in aspx, but not in 9.0.

MetadataTab.Style("Display") = "none"
AnnotationsTab.Style("Display") = "none"

And in WebLinkStyles.css, display: none; does not work for these tabs. Why not?

Thanks again for any help!

Try this:

doc-viewer-app .ulTabs li:nth-child(2) {
display:none!important;
}

How did you end up changing the title tag in the html head?

I would guess in the code-behind (.vb) using something like `Title = "The Title You Want"`

And the reason that our applications will typically assign page titles in the code behind rather than putting a <title> tag in the aspx is that we have a single page that supports multiple languages. That means that the value is dynamic and has to be handled in code.
