Does anyone have a piece of code that will illustrate the use of radio buttons to launch a report. I have a report with a parameter with 3 static values (on a htlm layout)... the user selects the radio button next to the desired value and then hits the run report button... Is it possible to launch the report once the radio button is clicked ?

MArk D,

try adding/looking into the onClick() event for a radio button. onClick is a common event trigger which you can use to issue a "document.formname.submit();" action. using the ...submit(); action will trigger a submit of the form.

This should point you in the right direction.


Thanks!

Mark D,

Try this example.
<html>
<body>
<script language = "JavaScript">
< !--
function RunReport(value) { 
  window.open("/ibi_apps/WFServlet?IBIF_ex=carinst&COUNTRY=" + value); 
}
// -->
</script>
<form method="POST" action="/ibi_apps/WFServlet" name="mainForm">
<b> Select a Country: </b> <BR> 

<INPUT type="radio" name="Country" value="ENGLAND"   onclick="RunReport[value);"> England <BR> 

<INPUT type="radio" name="Country" value="FRANCE"    onclick="RunReport[value);"> France  <BR> 

<INPUT type="radio" name="Country" value="ITALY"     onclick="RunReport[value);"> Italy  <BR> 

<INPUT type="radio" name="Country" value="JAPAN"     onclick="RunReport[value);"> Japan  <BR> 

<INPUT type="radio" name="Country" value="W GERMANY" onclick="RunReport[value);"> W Germany  <BR> 

</form>
</body>
</html>

Judy,
thanks for the example... it works fine.. if you wanted the report to be in a frame instead of a new window can that be done ?

Mark,

Just append the frame's name to window.open. Separate the target URL and window name by a comma. See JavaScript example below. 

function RunReport(value) { 
  window.open("/ibi_apps/WFServlet?IBIF_ex=carinst&COUNTRY=" + value, "frame_name"); 
}
