Hai

Im working on drill downs and I am able to get everything work but I am trying something. Can someone help me on this?

1)When drill down is clicked, we can output open in same window or new window. But can we make it open as a pop up (or small window)?

2)After drill down is clicked, if use wants to go back to parent procedure, how can we design the URL? do I need to include the parameters that are used to generate the original report?

Thanks

1) Yes, you can do that, but only by including some javascript that will open a window with the desired size(s). The javascript would have to be able to recieve the needed parameters, put them in the a constructed url or form variables, and execute the request with output to the newly created pop-up window.
2) For this functionality, I just use the javascript drilldown which only does a history.back(-1). Of course this only works when you have caching enabled on the page.

In your report, in the heading for instance, include some word to return to your original window or report. Let's say this word is 'Return'. Then select this word, right click, select options and choose the drilldown tab that is shown. In the dropdown for type of drilldown, select javascript. In the box called javascript, type the name of the function. If your original drilldown was to a new window, you'd type 'window.close'. If it was to the same window you'd type history.go, but then you'd also have to specify a parameter, constant value, value equal to -1.
In the code this would get translated to:
TYPE=HEADING,
     LINE=1,
     OBJECT=TEXT,
     ITEM=1,
     JAVASCRIPT=window.close,
$
in the first case, or:
TYPE=HEADING,
     LINE=1,
     OBJECT=TEXT,
     ITEM=1,
     JAVASCRIPT=history.go('-1'),
$
in the second. Hope this helps ...
