Hi,

Anybody has experience about popup calendar and js found in WF directories:
- ibi_html/javaassist/ibi/html/js/ibigbl.js
- ibi_html/javaassist/nls.js

We use WebFocus 714 MRE environment. Browser is IE and version is 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.090206-1233 and java version 1.6.0.

When changing both year and month at the same time IE fails without telling any good reason. If you change only month or year it works. And you can prevent this fail by changing first month or year - then closing the popup - opening again and changing another.

I ran this report with another computer using IE version 6.0.2800.1106.xpsp2.070903-1232 java version 1.4.2 and it works there.

So this might have something to do with browser and java version.

Thanks in advance for your comments

Here is the code from HTML-page:

  This is from html-page: 
<input size="10" type="text" id="calendar1" name="REPORTDATE" value="" onKeyUp="return liveValiDate();" operation="NONE" elementtype="14" ibiformat="YYMD" calendardatatype="1" calendardata="0/0/-3;0/0/0" /><span id="notmprt1" onMouseOut="return liveValiDate();"><SCRIPT id=IBI_loadcalendar type=text/javascript>

And here is the js-code from the report:

  <script type="text/javascript">

I suspect that it is when you are using String as Int. 1.6 is a lot more strict when trying to use var's than 1.4 was. Try using the parseInt() function when trying to recast your strings.

e.g.

 var cyear = parseInt(aDate.substring(0,4)); 

or:

 if (parseInt(cyear) < (currDate.getFullYear() - 3) || parseInt(cyear) > currDate.getFullYear()) { valid = 0 } 

Hi,

The same problem we also got. But it has nothing to do with Webfocus its an issue with IE patch that is being used. due to this patch some null value is being passed to JS thus aborting calendar .We got solution from both IBI ( suggesting changes in JS for calendar) and a hotfix from Microsoft.Either of them can be used.

If you try in mozilla this issue is not there.

I also tried the IBI file but it didn't work for me (calendar control didn't show at page execution time).

If you happen to have the Microsoft hotfix number, could you post it here please.

Thanks.

IBI file even didn't wrk for me and am still testing the js file by clearing cache and all. But of no use till now

Hotfix number I don't know , since it was installed by desktop team and it's not a public release till now. Public release might take some time. Better to contact Microsoft directly.

Thanks for trying, R. I have a ticket open with my internal help desk and even forwarded your information to them. I haven't heard a thing from them.
