Help Pls.

I have a combined fex for six different but very similar reports. I need to display Title for the browser specific to the report invoked. I wrote a javascript function in my HTMLFORM wherein I am assigning the title passed to the function to document.title. But my problem is from where to call this function so that it is invoked the moment the report is run.


Thanks,

I figured it out. I embedded javascript in a defined field and used it to set the title depending upon the report executed.

Try also these examples:

Example 1:

HTMLFORM BEGIN
<script type="text/javascript">
document.title = 'My title' ;

-HTMLFORM END
Example 2:

-SET &TITLE = 'my title';
-HTMLFORM BEGIN
<script type="text/javascript">
document.title = '!IBI.AMP.TITLE;' ;

-HTMLFORM END

Example 3

SET &TITLE = 'my title';
-HTMLFORM BEGIN



-HTMLFORM END

But, still, I think it's better to solve your case html title post ensuring you are using HTMTABLE (without L) instead of HTMLTABLE.

Try using the TITLETEXT option that was introduced in 5.2. See below:

TABLE FILE CAR
SUM RCOST
BY COUNTRY
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=REPORT, TITLETEXT='Car Report for &DATE', $
ENDSTYLE
END

This also translates to the worksheet name in EXL2K format.
