[WORKAROUND] Call Execution of Button from Procedure

From looking at this HTML, the JS function "OnExecute" is not defined anywhere and neither is the JS variable "button".

Is this HTML contained in a window that was opened by the original? If so, you can probably do

parent.OnExecute(...)

but where the "button" variable comes from I don't know...

The frame which runs this procedure is on an html page which contains button1. We would like the button1 click event to be executed at the final end of this procedure.

Is this what you want: (exec fex1) -> (display an html form with another "run" button" in it after fex1 is complete to exec fex2)?
If so, that's easy enough. If not, please elaborate.

We are not trying to load an HTML page from a fex. Our starting point is an html page with a frame and a button. After the frame loads our fex, we , want the fex to execute the button on our HTML page.

All you need to do is add the call for the button click to the onInitialUpdate function, with the button hyperlink created to run the second fex.

Try using just this part;

//Begin function onInitialUpdate
function onInitialUpdate(){
button1.click();
}
//End function onInitialUpdate

//Begin function button1_onclick
function button1_onclick(ctrl) {
// TODO: Add your event handler code here
OnExecute(ctrl)
}
//End function button1_onclick

We do not want to execute button1 on the initial update. Button1 should only be executed from a fex.

So Is it possible to call button1.click() at the end of a procedure?

Well, I guess if you want this to appear to magically happen after the first fex loads you could set a delay after the first fex loads and then do the button click.

One of our developers came up with a workaround for this issue:

1. The procedure is executed in a drilldown with the target as an iframe:

   TYPE=DATA, COLUMN=N8, TARGET='iframe2',
FOCEXEC=app/facility_passmetricid(
METRIC_CLICKED=N9 ), $

2. The following onload call is added in the html to the iframe.

 
<IFRAME style="Z-INDEX: 1136; POSITION: absolute; WIDTH: 134px; DISPLAY: none; HEIGHT: 136px; VISIBILITY: hidden; TOP: 80px" id=iframe2 tabIndex=531  [B]onload=iframe2_onload(this)[/B]  WIDTHOLD="134" HEIGHTOLD="136" autoExecute="False" name="iframe2"></IFRAME>

3: The following javascript function is added to execute the button to refresh our graph.

   function iframe2_onload(ctrl) {
OnExecute(button1)
}

In the focexec that runs to fill your iframe, you can save your FOCUS result as a hold file and then bang it into an html wrapper at the end that kicks off whatever javascript you like. Something like this:

TABLE FILE CAR
.
.
.
ON TABLE HOLD AS RESULT_X FORMAT HTMTABLE
END

-HTMLFORM BEGIN
<html>
<body onload="javascript:executeParentButtonClick();">
!ibi.fil.RESULT_X;
</body>
</html
-HTMLFORM END

The reference to !ibi.fil.RESULT_X drops the hold file into that location in the html code. Your focexec will run, your result will be embedded into the iframe's html source, and the onload trigger of the iframe will execute. The function called by the onload trigger can do whatever you want it to and has access to the parent's javascript functions.

Bang files are magical for filling drop-down boxes, multi-selects, etc. They're also good for pre-processing three or four report tables and dropping them sequentially one after another in a formalized output (i.e., tucked into a html table with its appropriate borders and widths.)
