Hi,
After being sick and busy with other things I checked again and found out
that the xredirect does not work so the NameManager is not executed.
Even the following in the application sheet does not do any redirect when
pressing Save and View button of an application document:
```
<div class="hidden">
<input type="hidden" name="xredirect" value="$doc.space" />
</div>
```
Could you please help me how proceed further?
Thanks, Dennis
