Creating pseudo Action Bars for the Web
Action Bars generated automatically by Domino for the Web reside at the top of a form, page, or view, just as they do in the Notes client. By default, these buttons are pretty basic, even unattractive. Here is an example of an Action Bar rendered with HTML.

Action Bars can be displayed with the Action Bar Java applet, and the buttons then can be styled to a certain extent, which is an improvement from a style point-of-view. But the Java applet can be slow to load and problematic in other ways.
Rendered with HTML or with the Java applet, the Action Bar is still stuck at the top of the form.
Consider moving the functions assigned to the Action Bar buttons to a set of buttons or hotspots positioned elsewhere on the form. Such buttons can be laid out in a table and styled extensively with CSS.

An independent set of buttons can then be placed above or below the banner. A second set of these buttons can be arrayed along the bottom of the form, if desired...
