Hi,
New to IBI and using Webfocus 8.0.
Tried creating Active Chart but for some reason its missing Export to (Excel, PPT, Word) in IE 11.
Is it a known issue with IE11 or am I missing a code to enable "Export To" feature for the Active Charts.

Thanks

I can't comment on Active Charts, since we don't use them, but IE 11 is another disaster from Microsoft, and it's even bundled with Windoze 8.1 such that rolling back to an earlier version is impossible. Someimes you wonder what they are thinking in Redmond ...

I've given up and use Chrome almost exclusively.

I tried it in Chrome and it doesn't seem to work there either. Very strange. Not sure what I am doing wrong.
All I am trying to do is create a simple HTML Active Report with couple of fields. I am able to create a chart off the results but I don't see the export option. I see the export option when I run it in the Dev Studio. Both IE11 and Chrome showing the same behavior. IE10 seems to be working fine.

Here is my Code

-***
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
CAR
MODEL
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOLEAD
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT AHTML
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
INCLUDE = endeflt,
$
TYPE=REPORT,
LINES-PER-PAGE=20,
ARGRAPHENGINE=JSCHART,
ALLOW-TOOLS=OFF,
$
ENDSTYLE
END
-***

Try ALLOW-EXPORT=ON. Perhaps it needs some encouragement.

There is a bug with Active Reports in IE9 - if you have more than one Active Report on an HTML page (in separate tabs of a tab control, for instance), only the first visible one shows up, the report in another tab shows as loading, but never loads. - This is WF 8.0.08 behaviour. In WF 7.7.05, both reports do appear, though only the first one has the FREEZE-COLUMN option - it's not available in the second report. Apparently works in IE10.

Thanks Francis.
I tried Allow Export didn't work.

@Tom, I see the Export. But once I create Chart I cannot see the Export (Excel, Word, PPT).

Thanks

I now see what you are looking for. Per IBI Browser Support, should work in IE11, works in IE8. Guess that's why I haven't upgraded...

Works in IE8:

This is the bug in WebFocus 8. Already I have reported this issue and it is in the Product Division. Even this is not working with WebFocus 8.0.0.9 version. IBI able to reproduce this issue on their environment. They are working on a fix for us. As soon as I hear from them, I will update you. I would recommend open a case with IBI and mention that already a case opened regarding this for different customer. That way we can get the fix soon.

Now try this code. I added a dummy variable and now I see the Export under charts. I don't use this variable anywhere so the problem now is that I have to enter the value for the variable every time I run the report.
Not sure why would IE11 behave differently in this case.


----

DEFAULT &DUMMY EQ 10;
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
CAR
MODEL
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOLEAD
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT AHTML
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE SET WEBVIEWER ON
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
INCLUDE = IBFS:/EDA/EDASERVE/_EDAHOME/ETC/endeflt.sty,
$
TYPE=REPORT,
LINES-PER-PAGE=20,
ARGRAPHENGINE=JSCHART,
ALLOW-TOOLS=OFF,
$
ENDSTYLE
END

Should be:
-DEFAULT &DUMMY = 10


And uncheck properties "Prompt for parameters", is that better ?

Hi,
Thanks for the correction..it was a typo.
But when I uncheck properties "Prompt for Parameters" , I loose the "Export" feature in Charts Frowner. Basically, back to the same problem.
