[SOLVED] Is it possible to update a HTML Document (param screen) upon a drill down ?

This is a portal page with two panels. The top panel is an HTML Document 100% GUI, opens without issues. The bottom panel is a horizontal chart with a drill down.

Is it possible to select the drill down and at the same time update an object in the HTML Document?

Specifically what I want to do is; When the user selects a drill down, the Reports Title includes the selected LABELNAME.

Thank you,

Just curious Don, Why do you want to do this? And what will the final results be?

In the example, you see a chart with the top 10 drug classes. When the user drills down on the chart, the chart calls itself and displays the top 10 dispenses BY PATIENT for the specific drug selected.

Now the chart is no longer just "Off Formulary" as shown in the top of the parameter screen, it is more like:
"Reports Off Formulary - The TOP 10 Red Pill Capsule Dispenses by Patient". Something like that.

It's interesting that you asked this question, this is sort of like your bread crumb idea on the GEO Hierarchy drill downs at $ General. But that was on the report heading and the Stakeholder does not want to change the chart in any way, because it's the customers design.

Hi Don,

This would be easier if the two panels were built as a single InfoApp but I guess that boat has sailed!

There is something within jQuery that you might be able to use but you need to have a very good grasp of the DOM of your Portal page (yes, the entire page).

Essentially, when you select an element by Id, you would use $("#elementid") or element by class as $(".elementclass"). Well, you can give this construct a starting point from which to search.

Firstly, make sure that your "Label" has a unique class attribute - it doesn't have to refer to an actual class within your CSS file.

Next, if you code $(".mytextclass", window.top.document) you should be able to locate the element that contains your "Label".

I use this successfully to apply a modal drilldown that encompasses the entire Portal page and not just the panel from which I make the call.

Good luck.

First of all, thank you for advancing this idea. I'll do the research, but from the GUI perspective, is "unique class attribute" the "Class identifier (CSS)"?

Spot on.

As I say, this can be anything you want, just make sure that it is unique to ensure you hit the correct element!

You're up and about early! This keeping you from sleeping? Wink
