Hi

I am trying to add a button to a HTML page and in hyperlink properties, want to select URL and call a FEX and that URL should include a value from dropdown in the same HTML page. I am missing something.

htp://server.com/ibi_apps/WFServlet?IBIAPP_app=appfolder_name&IBIF_ex=fex_name&RPT_TYPE=SUMMARY&CAR_NAME=TOYOTA&WFFMT=PDF

In the above URL, TOYOTA is selected from a dropdown with ID CAR_NM. How can I include this in above URL so that each time it picks the value in the dropdown?

Thanks a lot..

Why not using "External Procedure" as for the action for the button? That will call directly your fex and the parameters will be passed to the fex... No need to create the url, it will be created automatically.

Martin, its kind of very complicated page and fex, so want to go with URL. If no option, they will do External Procedure.

Enigma,

I'm with MartinY. You should use the External Procedure for that action. But if you are adamant against it, then you need to write a Javascript function that will generate your string. something along the lines of

var my_car=document.getElementById('CAR_INPUT').value;
var my_string="http://server.com/ibi_apps/WFServlet?IBIAPP_app=appfolder_name&IBIF_ex=fex_name&RPT_TYPE=SUMMARY&CAR_NAME=" + my_car + "&WFFMT=PDF";
  

same html page has a button and calls same report in HTML format. new button is needed and that should call report in PDF format. ho can I pass PDF value with PDF button?

Why not adding a new control to select output format?

You'll keep only one button to launch the report but having &WFFMT as a new parameter...
