Making software easy is the really hard part. As our customers and partners know. we work very hard to make our Genii Software products easy and intuitive. But tomorrow (Monday, June 6th at 5pm EDT), I am trying a new challenge. I am holding a Learn-To-Code event in which I will be building a Drag-n-Drop Dominos game using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The goal is to have people code along with me, so I need to minimize "cooking show magic" where lots is already prepared for them. Getting the game working was fairly easy, but I am spending much more time simplifying the steps and trying out different approaches to make the code accessible to non-coders and low-coders. If this works out, I will likely do other such events, possibly also throwing in a Notes/Domino Learn-To-Code session here and there.</span></div><div align='left'><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"> <br></span></div><div align='left'><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;">This event is sponsored by the coding bootcamp, Tech Elevator, where I teach people to become full stack web developers.

There are others, but these four are ones I see routinely when exporting data with Midas Exports or retrieving data with Exciton Boost. (There are also ways that do play nicely, but why talk about them?) My challenge for myself is whether I can use both tools to export or retrieve the data from each in a way that forces them to play nicely with relational databases.</span></div><div align='left'><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"> <br></span></div><div align='left'><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;">In order from most to least common of the four top ways I see to make table data that don't play easily with relational databases:</span></div><div align='left'><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"> <br></span></div><div align='left'><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;">1) Hard-coded table cell fields, every one separate</span></div><div align='left'><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;">2) Parallel multi-value fields, one per column</span></div><div align='left'><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;">3) Response documents, one per row</span></div><div align='left'><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;">4) Tables embedded in rich text</span></div><div align='left'><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"> <br></span></div><div align='left'><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;">Watch this blog for my posts.

I mentioned on Facebook that I was surprisingly happy with the new workspace look, surprising only because I hated all the recent ones and have used the Textured Workspace until fairly recently. I was surprised that when I was asked for a screenshot like the one above, somebody else showed theirs and it looked quite different, like the one below.</span></div><div align='left'><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"> <br></span></div><div align='center'><img src="https://geniisoft.com/db/0/AE28FE7714DACEC9852586F00048D09C/BlogBodyRT/2.1e8?OpenElement&FieldElemFormat=jpg" alt="Inline JPEG image" height="474" width="550" style="border:none;"><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"></span></div><div align='left'><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"> <br></span></div><div align='left'><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;">After being questioned about what I might have done differently, I started looking and found the answer. If you right click on the workspace, there is a Background option. This has been advertised as a way to put a custom background image, but if you are like me and simply aren't sure you want so much blue, you can just set the option to None and you get the lighter screen like me.</span></div><div align='left'><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"> <br></span></div><div align='center'><img src="https://geniisoft.com/db/0/AE28FE7714DACEC9852586F00048D09C/BlogBodyRT/7.4ce0?OpenElement&FieldElemFormat=jpg" alt="Inline JPEG image" height="428" width="400" style="border:none;"><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"></span></div><div align='left'><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"> <br></span></div><div align='left'><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"> <br></span></div><div align='left'><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"> <br></span></div><div align='left'><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"> <br></span></div><div align='left'><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;">That's it, really. Not a big deal no matter what you choose. I should say, even with the blue background it is better than the Notes 9, 10, or 11 workspaces, so whatever you choose, it feels like a step up. Thanks, HCL.</span></div><div align='left'><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"> <br></span></div><div align='left'><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"></span></div>]]></description></item>

We could certainly use the new JSON classes in Notes to traverse the JSON, find the values and build a report, but our </span><a href="https://geniisoft.com/db/MidasLSX" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:10pt; color:rgb(0,0,255); text-decoration:underline; font-family: sans-serif;">Midas LSX</span></a><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"> is all about maximizing what you can do while minimizing the effort to do it. So, my business users want a snapshot of four specific exchange rates. I decided to present them like this:</span><img src="https://geniisoft.com/db/0/35C693C386E2FDB9852586CC0046975E/BlogBodyRT/0.102e?OpenElement&FieldElemFormat=jpg" alt="Inline JPEG image" height="231" width="600" style="border:none;"><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"></span></div><div align='left'><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;">But how did I get from the JSON returned to this table? As a practical matter, I could just use our AppendFieldsWithJSON method to create fields from everything. It would look like this (and goes on and on until ZAR), though this is not current data:</span></div><div align='left'><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"> <br></span></div><div align='left'><img src="https://geniisoft.com/db/0/35C693C386E2FDB9852586CC0046975E/BlogBodyRT/0.7c06?OpenElement&FieldElemFormat=jpg" alt="Inline JPEG image" height="284" width="400" border="1" style=" border-style:solid;border-color:rgb(0,0,0);border-width:1px;"><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"></span></div><div align='left'><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"> <br></span></div><div align='left'><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;">You can see that when our method hits an object inside the object (this one called rates), it presents the values like this. But I wanted the rates presented more nicely, so I switched the properties of the AppendFieldsWithJSON to start down at the rates object (by setting ChildOf='rates'), and specify it as a vertical table inside a single tabbed table with a label. That looked like this:</span></div><div align='left'><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"> <br></span></div><div align='left'><img src="https://geniisoft.com/db/0/35C693C386E2FDB9852586CC0046975E/BlogBodyRT/3.3b7e?OpenElement&FieldElemFormat=jpg" alt="Inline JPEG image" height="260" width="300" style="border:none;"><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"></span></div><div align='left'><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"> <br></span></div><div align='left'><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;">This is close, but I only want my four currencies, and I think the background should be green. Oh, and I'd like the labels to reflect the commonly used names for these currencies.

But even that gives us options. The following two dates represent the exact same moment in time, but do they represent the exact same information?</span></div><div align='left'><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"> <br></span></div><div align='left'><span style="font-size:12pt; color:rgb(163,21,21); font-family: Consolas;">"@created"</span><span style="font-size:12pt; font-family: Consolas;">: </span><span style="font-size:12pt; color:rgb(4,81,165); font-family: Consolas;">"2021-02-22T16:32:19Z"</span></div><div align='left'><span style="font-size:13pt; font-family: sans-serif;"> <br></span></div><div align='left'><span style="font-size:12pt; color:rgb(163,21,21); font-family: Consolas;">"@created"</span><span style="font-size:12pt; font-family: Consolas;">: </span><span style="font-size:12pt; color:rgb(4,81,165); font-family: Consolas;">"2021-02-22T11:32:19.53-05:00"</span></div><div align='left'><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"> <br></span></div><div align='left'><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;">While they are considered equivalent, are they? What is the piece of metadata that is lost in the first but not the second? It is the original time zone in which the document was created.</span></div><div align='left'><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"> <br></span></div><div align='left'><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;">Now, this may seem unimportant. In most cases, it probably is unimportant. But if there is one thing I have learned in my years converting data from one format to another, and especially in doing roundtripping or synching of data that must coexist in two different platforms, it is that every detail is precious some of the time or to some of the people. In meeting invites, we see both when the invitation is and what time zone it was created it. If we convert to the first of these two formats and then back, we lose that information, or even if we just pull it out for display elsewhere, we won't have it.</span></div><div align='left'><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"> <br></span></div><div align='left'><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;">Now, I want to be clear that even the second format is risky. A standard JSON parser that recognize dates may turn these both into the same timedate object. But a savvy parser in a system that has the capability to store time zones will store that time zone with the second format. It can't with the first. The detail is simply lost.</span></div><div align='left'><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"> <br></span></div><div align='left'><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"><em>Addendum</em></span><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;">: Just a quick follow up to this. In reality, you can't determine the time zone itself from the time offset, but you can calculate the local time in which the time was created. Therefore, we offer an option to use an extended construct for Notes time date item values that gives the time zone as a separate value along with the time and date, e.g., "StartTime": {"zone":"EST", "value":"2021-03-01T10:30:00.00-05:00"}<br></span></div>]]></description></item>

But both inside and outside of Notes/Domino, our core business is really data movement. If you have data in some format or encapsulation, and you need it in some other format or encapsulation, that's what we do. Whether you need the data to move for a moment, for the duration of a project, or forever, we help you move it.</span></div><div align='left'><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"> <br></span></div><div align='left'><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;">The challenge for me is usually not the format or system or structure the data is going to, but the format or system or structure the data is coming from. Often older, outdated systems, though certainly not always, I need to understand as much or more about the source as the destination. Which is why I spend time building new design and new data into things like Infopath Forms that are already facing EOL. Because when that data needs to go elsewhere and fit into some other design (whether Microsoft Power Apps or Salesforce Lightning Apps or whatever), we need to be able to understand the data we are likely to see, and the stuff we are less likely to see, but still will because developers will use anything. we need to be prepared for structures allowed in one system but not in another, especially multi-value anything (e.g., repeating tables), as those tend to be implemented differently in different systems.</span></div><div align='left'><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"> <br></span></div><div align='left'><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;">So, I am creating forms that will never be used by anybody but me, all to be ready for you.</span></div>]]></description></item>

Sometimes, the question goes the other way around. Either way, the answer is almost certainly yes. When it comes right down to it, one of the things we excel at is moving data around.  Chances are even good we can move from <Shiny New Thing One> to <Even Shinier New Thing Two>. (Companies do like shiny.) Moving data accurately and well is critical whether you want to move your data for a project, for a moment, or forever.</span></div><div align='left'><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"> <br></span></div><div align='left'><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;">We might already have a tool for it.

But we can most likely get your data moved, and we can most likely do it with the highest fidelity available. We are not as cheap as that freeware tool you can download from <Shady Website Du Jour>, but we also don't bring the viruses along with us. We might not have the sales team to take you out to a fancy meal before lifting your wallet and dumping it out on the table.</span></div><div align='left'><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"> <br></span></div><div align='left'><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;">We just care about data. We are especially good with Notes data, kind of a speciality of the house, but we are quite adept with other data as well. You might need it in JSON or XML or CSV or HTML, or most likely some combination. Whatever your shiny new thing is, we can help you get your data there, and make sure it shines too when it gets there. The image below includes some of the formats we support, but there are plenty  more that are specialized variants, so don't hesitate to ask. Just know that the answer is probably yes, and that even if it isn't, we can probably turn it into a yes in short order. We're good that way.

But last night, it occurred to me to try a similar test with Domino mobile and web development, surely a more pressing issue for many companies today who are upgrading Domino applications. I decided to make one change to the content first, which was to make the lists ordered rather than bullets, as it is easier to tell the levels apart.</span></div><div align='left'><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"> <br></span></div><div align='left'><span style="font-size:10pt; color:rgb(0,128,0); font-family: sans-serif;"><strong>Note</strong></span><span style="font-size:10pt; color:rgb(0,128,0); font-family: sans-serif;">: Before I start, I want to acknowledge that part way through writing this post, I started doubting myself, as I was sure nested lists couldn't be this bad. I realized that there are two ways to create nested lists in Notes, and while they may look identical, one renders more reliably than the other. The basic difference is how you create the indents for the list. Suffice it to say, you have no easy way of knowing which technique was chosen, so the rendering can only be considered unreliable.</span></div><div align='left'><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"> <br></span></div><div style="line-height:normal;" align='left'><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;">I decided to start with classic Domino web development and move forward in time. I would have included the new AppDev stuff, but it doesn't really render rich text at all. Go figure.

This will shift both the left margin and first line left margin. See the two middle icons below with the little arrows.</span></div><div align='left'><img src="https://geniisoft.com/db/0/4FBD40AF2816240285258680007AAE1D/BlogBodyRT/24.2b98?OpenElement&FieldElemFormat=jpg" alt="Inline JPEG image" height="128" width="337" border="1" style=" border-style:solid;border-color:rgb(0,0,0);border-width:1px;"><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"></span></div><div align='left'><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"> <br></span></div><div align='left'><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;">But these were not always there as options, and an earlier way to create nested lists was to change margins via the ruler.</span></div><div align='left'><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"> <br></span></div><div align='left'><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"><strong><em>Older method:</em></strong></span><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"> The older way to created a nested list was to use the ruler and change the margins. Older rich text, or text created by long time users, may be more likely to have nested lists created this way. If you look at the ruler below, this is the indentation for Granny Smith. Note that only the top margin (the first line) is indented. In Notes rich text, that first line margin is what determines a "new indentation", which is why the ordered lists start over. But for some reason, the different engines that drive Domino don't seem to recognize that simple fact, and treat the nested list as a single list, albeit with different list types.</span></div><div align='left'><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"> <br></span></div><div align='left'><img src="https://geniisoft.com/db/0/4FBD40AF2816240285258680007AAE1D/BlogBodyRT/25.3a82?OpenElement&FieldElemFormat=jpg" alt="Inline JPEG image" height="325" width="343" border="1" style=" border-style:solid;border-color:rgb(0,0,0);border-width:1px;"><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"></span></div><div align='left'><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"> <br></span></div><div align='left'><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"> <br></span></div><div style="line-height:normal;" align='center'><span style="font-size:12pt; font-family: sans-serif;"><strong>--> Request an </strong></span><a href="https://geniisoft.com/db/ExcitonBoostEvalRequest"><span style="font-size:12pt; color:rgb(0,0,255); text-decoration:underline; font-family: sans-serif;"><strong>Exciton Boost evaluation license</strong></span></a><span style="font-size:12pt; font-family: sans-serif;"><strong> today and give it a try. <--</strong></span></div><div align='left'><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"> <br></span></div><div align='left'><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"></span></div>]]></description></item>

While it would be possible to pull all the data at one time with this demo, it often would not be if there were many more orders or more textual content. Therefore, looking at the basic JavaScript I wrote about in </span><a href="http://www.GeniiSoft.com/showcase.nsf/archive/20210111-1037" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:10pt; color:rgb(0,0,255); text-decoration:underline; font-family: sans-serif;">REST plus RPC: building the JavaScript  for RPC</span></a><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;">, we should assume we might have multiple batches, one for each page of content. By default, that means 20 orders per batch. Since the image above shows that 312 orders are there to be processed, that would be sixteen calls. A developer knowing the data to be returned and the processing to be done might decide to do this in fewer calls or more calls, and thus adjust the page size accordingly.</span></div><div><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"> <br></span></div><div><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;">The JSON-RPC commands all have a particular format with a </span><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"><strong>method</strong></span><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"> required and </span><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"><strong>parameters</strong></span><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"> and return </span><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"><strong>id</strong></span><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"> used as needed. But when the fetch is done, the body of the request is always a single, simple JSON string. So, one of the choices to be made that will vary by project is whether to build up the objects as JavaScript objects and use stringify to create the JSON string, or whether to build the JSON string directly. Sometimes one works better, sometimes the other. To show what I mean, look at the JavaScript object for the </span><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"><strong>rtc.appendTable</strong></span><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"> method that creates the outer tabbed table along with its first tab set to the specified state. We could create all the tabs at once, but we don't know which states are represented, so we need to do them one by one. </span></div><div><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"> <br></span></div><div><span style="font-size:10pt; color:rgb(0,0,255); font-family: Courier New;">var tbl = {</span></div><div><span style="font-size:10pt; color:rgb(0,0,255); font-family: Courier New;">           jsonrpc: "2.0", </span></div><div><span style="font-size:10pt; color:rgb(0,0,255); font-family: Courier New;">           method:  "rtc.appendTable", </span></div><div><span style="font-size:10pt; color:rgb(0,0,255); font-family: Courier New;">           params:  [1, </span></div><div><span style="font-size:10pt; color:rgb(0,0,255); font-family: Courier New;">                     1, </span></div><div><span style="font-size:10pt; color:rgb(0,0,255); font-family: Courier New;">                     "TableWidth=FIT_TO_WINDOW RowDisplay=TABBED TableColorStyle=ALTERNATING_ROWS TableColor=RGB255,191,191 TableBodyColor=RGB127,255,255"</span></div><div><span style="font-size:10pt; color:rgb(0,0,255); font-family: Courier New;">                    ]</span></div><div><span style="font-size:10pt; color:rgb(0,0,255); font-family: Courier New;">          };</span></div><div><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"> <br></span></div><div><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;">This is a template, but in order to set the actual tab of the first state as we create the table, we would modify the object to add an additional parameter for the first "column", which is also the first tab of a tabbed table:</span></div><div><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"> <br></span></div><div><span style="font-size:10pt; color:rgb(0,0,255); font-family: Courier New;">tbl.params.push("Text='' TabLabel='"+ o.State + "'");</span></div><div><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"> <br></span></div><div><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;">After we do this, the object looks like this:</span></div><div><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"> <br></span></div><div><span style="font-size:10pt; color:rgb(0,0,255); font-family: Courier New;">var tbl = {</span></div><div><span style="font-size:10pt; color:rgb(0,0,255); font-family: Courier New;">           jsonrpc: "2.0", </span></div><div><span style="font-size:10pt; color:rgb(0,0,255); font-family: Courier New;">           method:  "rtc.appendTable", </span></div><div><span style="font-size:10pt; color:rgb(0,0,255); font-family: Courier New;">           params:  [1, </span></div><div><span style="font-size:10pt; color:rgb(0,0,255); font-family: Courier New;">                     1, </span></div><div><span style="font-size:10pt; color:rgb(0,0,255); font-family: Courier New;">                     "TableWidth=FIT_TO_WINDOW RowDisplay=TABBED TableColorStyle=ALTERNATING_ROWS TableColor=RGB255,191,191 TableBodyColor=RGB127,255,255",</span></div><div><span style="font-size:10pt; color:rgb(0,0,255); font-family: Courier New;">                     "Text='' TabLabel='AL'"</span></div><div><span style="font-size:10pt; color:rgb(0,0,255); font-family: Courier New;">                    ]</span></div><div><span style="font-size:10pt; color:rgb(0,0,255); font-family: Courier New;">          };</span></div><div><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"> <br></span></div><div><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;">If you want to use templates for the calls, they can just be constants, but here is where the downside comes in. In order to use the templates, you have to do a deep copy using either a utility library like lodash, or some clunky code such as:</span></div><div><span style="font-size:10pt; color:rgb(0,0,255); font-family: Courier New;"> <br></span></div><div><span style="font-size:10pt; color:rgb(0,0,255); font-family: Courier New;">var rowTmpl = {</span></div><div><span style="font-size:10pt; color:rgb(0,0,255); font-family: Courier New;">               jsonrpc: "2.0", </span></div><div><span style="font-size:10pt; color:rgb(0,0,255); font-family: Courier New;">               method:  "rtc.appendRow", </span></div><div><span style="font-size:10pt; color:rgb(0,0,255); font-family: Courier New;">               params:  [false, 1]</span></div><div><span style="font-size:10pt; color:rgb(0,0,255); font-family: Courier New;">              };</span></div><div><span style="font-size:10pt; color:rgb(0,0,255); font-family: Courier New;"> <br></span></div><div><span style="font-size:10pt; color:rgb(0,0,255); font-family: Courier New;">var appendRow = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(rowTmpl));</span></div><div><span style="font-size:10pt; color:rgb(0,0,255); font-family: Courier New;">appendRow.params.push("Text='' TabLabel='"+ o.State + "'");</span></div><div><span style="font-size:10pt; color:rgb(0,0,255); font-family: Courier New;"> <br></span></div><div><span style="font-size:10pt; color:rgb(0,0,255); font-family: Courier New;">batchActions.push(appendRow);</span></div><div><span style="font-size:10pt; color:rgb(0,0,255); font-family: Courier New;">batch = JSON.stringify(batchActions);</span></div><div><span style="font-size:10pt; color:rgb(0,0,255); font-family: Courier New;"> <br></span></div><div><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"> <br></span></div><div><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;">It works, but is inelegant at best, and also does a lot of work given that you are converting the eventual object to JSON anyway. So, an alternative would be to built the template as JSON to start with:</span></div><div><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"> <br></span></div><div><span style="font-size:10pt; color:rgb(0,0,255); font-family: Courier New;">const rowTmplStart = </span><span style="font-size:10pt; color:rgb(0,0,255); font-family: Courier New;">"{\"jsonrpc\":"2.0", \"method\":\"rtc.appendRow\", \"params\":[false, 1, ";]</span></div><div><span style="font-size:10pt; color:rgb(0,0,255); font-family: Courier New;">const rowTmplEnd = "]}";</span></div><div><span style="font-size:10pt; color:rgb(0,0,255); font-family: Courier New;"> <br></span></div><div><span style="font-size:10pt; color:rgb(0,0,255); font-family: Courier New;">var appendRow = rowTmplStart+"\"Text='' TabLabel='\""+ o.State + "'\"" + rowTmplEnd;</span></div><div><span style="font-size:10pt; color:rgb(0,0,255); font-family: Courier New;">batch += appendRow;</span></div><div><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"> <br></span></div><div><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;">For this demo, I think we are better off using the JSON string, but I wanted to be clear what I was doing, as it is a little less obvious than building an array of objects and stringifying them. Now, we just have to put it all together. I hope to work on that tonight.</span></div><div><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"> <br></span></div><div><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"></span></div>]]></description></item>
