I put a font color tag before the $$Viewbody field, for example, if my
background color is white, I put <font color=white> before the $$viewbody. You
can achieve the same with a div tag and a css. When there are documents, domino
generate a html table so the tag is not used.
But you are right, the user doesn't see "No documents found" or other message
anymore. In my experience, the "No documents found" appears only in a very new
database in which there are few documents, so the probability for a user to see
it is very small ...
If there are views which often doesn't have documents I use a hide when formula
because the view contains few documents (workflow).
My latest tips is the same as Scot Haberman with a javascript onload function
counting the number of links. What is more, with this method I show/hide the
next/previous buttons too.
