Hi All,

I am trying to do a drilldown from a cell on a table that I made in the HTMLFORM section of a fex. The table looks great and I hooked a little code like this on the cell: onmouseup="runDrill()". runDrill just contains this:
var myUrl = "http://webfocus/ibi_apps/WFServlet?IBIAPP_app=otc&IBIF_ex=trendgr01";
window.open(myUrl, "mywindow");

After running the report and clicking on the cell I got an error on the HTML report page. I viewed the source and see that the url for the drilldown has been truncated at the ampersand. Consequently I can't open the window and run the drilldown report - not to mention the paramters that need to be passed as well.

How can I get past this problem?

Thanks,

Norb

Not sure if your URL is legal.

Mine are always like:
http://webfocus/ibi_apps/WFServlet?IBIF_ex=trendgr01

ie) IBIF_ex component right after '?', with no preceding '&'.

Then all amper variables are appended at the end.

Whenever you use an ampersand in the HTML portion of a fex, you need to code it like this &| - this is to prevent Dialogue Manager from assuming it's a DM variable.

Instead of this:

var myUrl = "http://webfocus/ibi_apps/WFServlet?IBIAPP_app=otc&IBIF_ex=trendgr01";

Try this:

var myUrl = "http://webfocus/ibi_apps/WFServlet?IBIAPP_app=otc&|IBIF_ex=trendgr01";

If this is run from a fex, then WF will see the & and think it's an &variable.

Use &| (& followed by the concat symbol).

Well you little geniuses were right again! I did the concatenation and it works. Thank you.

However, next I tried to pass a single parameter and I it doesn't work! I could just start crying!

This is the url from the source HTML file: http://webfocus/ibi_apps/WFServlet?IBIAPP_app=otc&IBIF_...gr02&USERID='957244'

When I copy it into the browser address bar it executes correctly. But this doesn't happen when I click on the cell to use the window.open() function. I also built the url without the single quote around the variable values. Any more ideas? I'm so close to the solution that I can taste it.

Thanks,

HOLD IT! STOP THE PRESSES!

I tracked down some offensive javascript variables, promptly booted them out and now this thing runs!

Woo Hoo! Party on Garth!

Thanks for everyone's assistance, thoughts, and prayers.
