We have the option Current/Start date in Calendar Properties checked off in our reports. When the report htm page is open, this defaults the date to todays date. The issue is when users click Reset button, it just clears the date, it doesnt reset with todays date. It would be nice if it did and maybe it is a bug, but I have tried to fix this by adding javascript to populate the calendar text with todays date on Reset. I want this to work on one click, but it makes me double click Reset button to populate todays date with the javascript. How do I get this to work with a single click? Here is the javascript Im using that works when double clicking: //Begin function cmdReset_onclick function cmdReset_onclick(ctrl) { var d = new Date().toJSON().slice(0, 10).split('-'); document.getElementById("txtStartDate").value = d[1] +'/'+ d[2] +'/'+ d[0]; // mm/dd/yyyy document.getElementById("txtEndDate").value = d[1] +'/'+ d[2] +'/'+ d[0]; // mm/dd/yyyy } //End function cmdReset_onclick 8007 Windows 7, PDF, Excel | ||

If this is a HTML Composer designed page, I *think* if you have a onInitialUpdate() function that sets the date, then the Reset should reset the page and run the onInitialUpdate() function. Try adding your cmdReset_onclick function to onInitialUpdate()... Francis  Give me code, or give me retirement.

May not be the best way, but it works
function cmdReset_onclick(ctrl) {
var today = new Date();
var dd = today.getDate();
var mm = today.getMonth()+1; //January is 0!
var yyyy = today.getFullYear();
if(dd<10) {
dd='0'+dd
}
if(mm<10) {
mm='0'+mm
}
today = mm+'/'+dd+'/'+yyyy;
txtStartDate.value = today;
txtEndDate.value = today;
}

Moving code to onInitialUpdate seems to work when also having UpdateData in cmdReset_onclick, Thanks! //Begin function onInitialUpdate function onInitialUpdate(){ var d = new Date().toJSON().slice(0, 10).split('-'); document.getElementById("txtStartDate").value = d[1] +'/'+ d[2] +'/'+ d[0]; // mm/dd/yyyy document.getElementById("txtEndDate").value = d[1] +'/'+ d[2] +'/'+ d[0]; // mm/dd/yyyy } //End function onInitialUpdate //Begin function cmdReset_onclick function cmdReset_onclick(ctrl) { UpdateData(); } //End function cmdReset_onclick 8007 Windows 7, PDF, Excel | |||

Im new to JavaScript, can one of you tell me why (ctrl) is sometimes in the parenthesis and sometimes blank ()? Examples: onInitialUpdate() UpdateData() cmdReset_onclick(ctrl) OnExecute(ctrl) 8007 Windows 7, PDF, Excel | |||

It's an input parameter for the function. WF versions : Prod 8.2.04M gen 33, Dev 8.2.04M gen 33, OS : Windows, DB : MSSQL, Outputs : HTML, Excel, PDF In Focus since 2007 | |||

Why type (ctrl) vs ()? 8007 Windows 7, PDF, Excel | |||

When you add a function to a control by point-and-click in Dev Studio HTML Composer, it will add (ctrl) so that the JavaScript can reference the control - within the function you can then reference the control using ctrl - you don't need to reference the control via it's ID or name, but I tend to always use the control ID. I think this is the explanation! Francis Give me code, or give me retirement.

Example:
//Begin function combobox1_onchange
function combobox1_onchange(ctrl)
{
// Load the tasks based on the selected frequency
LoadTaskOptions(ctrl.value);

Here is my new issue with Reset button. The javascript i added works in resetting the calendar fields to todays date, but in a drill down it is not pulling in the dates from the first report htm page, it is setting the drill down htm to todays date too. I assume because the js is in the onInitialUpdate. Is there a way to get the Reset button to work just like pressing F5 on the keyboard works? in other words, is there javascript to mimic pressing F5? 8007 Windows 7, PDF, Excel | |||

Here is what I'm normally do : 1- Add the reset button as the Composer create it 2- Add an onclick event to the Reset button 3- Create a function with:
//To Reset calendar
function resetCalendar(){
var d = new Date().toJSON().slice(0, 10).split('-');
document.getElementById("txtStartDate").value = d[1] +'/'+ d[2] +'/'+ d[0]; // mm/dd/yyyy
document.getElementById("txtEndDate").value = d[1] +'/'+ d[2] +'/'+ d[0]; // mm/dd/yyyy
}
4- call the above in the onInitialUpdate() and in cmdReset_onclick(ctrl) functions. This way you will let the reset button do its "normal" job plus the calendar reset. I just add in the reset what it does not do as I wish. I think it should work.

This seems to work, and I dont even need an onInitialUpdate() script. //Begin function cmdReset_onclick function cmdReset_onclick(ctrl) { window.location.reload(); } //End function cmdReset_onclick Seems too easy... 8007 Windows 7, PDF, Excel | |||
