[SOLVED] Possible to run report immediately on Calendar Control Popup Date selection

A few posts that are several years old discuss this, but are not answering the main question: is there a way to fire off a report immediately when the date is selected from the calendar control popup?

Setting on onchange event for the control only works if the user types the date manually in the input box. There seems to be no way to force WF to recognize the date was changed/selected by the user through clicking on the date in the popup calendar.


Has anyone been able to solve this?

Yes, create an action onselect, I think is what is, to submit.

HI Gavin, thanks for quick response. We wish TOrun the report immediately after the user clicks on the date on the POPUP calendar, not when hitting the Submit button or when clicking the form submit button. I did try it and the onlselect put on the calendar control only fires the report if the user selects part of the date text in the input box and that is not what we want.
If I'm misunderstanding, can you flesh out your suggestion...maybe with a small example?
Thanks.

I know what your talking about now.. If your using the IBI Calendar, then no. That control is controlled by IBI only with no properties. The properties being set is for the text box the calendar writes too, not the calendar control itself. The only way, I know of, to get around it is to write your own calendar, so you can control the onclick and selection method.

Then you can call the submit button..
document.getElementById ( "frmSubmit" ).click();

That has not been my experience.

When a date is selected from the calendar, the input box is updated with the new date. The onchange event for the input box is then triggered, and an IBI function can be called to execute a task to run the report:

function calendar1_onchange(event) {
    IbComposer_triggerExecution("task2",1);
}
