[CLOSED] Enabling Popup Desc causes javascript error.

February 27, 2009, 04:26 PM

Hi all,

I have a procedure that includes several other procedures (*.fex). Each of these procedures shows data from different tables. I wanted to show tool tip for the columns in a table so i enabled popup desc and added descriptions to the master file. The pop up/tooltip works fine as long as I turn on the popup desc on only one of the included procedures. As soon as I turn it on, on a second included report I get a java script error on the html page that calls the procedure. Please advice.

Thanks,
Nam

Below is the code on the html page:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>HtmlPage</TITLE>
<BASE href=HTTP://localhost:8080>
<script id=clientEventHandlersJS type=text/javascript>
//Begin function window_onload
function window_onload() {
UpdateData();
// TODO: Add your event handler code here
//add onInitialUpdate() function to make changes before initial run of the reports
}
//End function window_onload

//Begin function button1_OnClick
function button1_OnClick(ctrl) {
// TODO: Add your event handler code here
OnExecute(ctrl)
}
//End function button1_OnClick
</SCRIPT>
<script for=window eventname="onload">window.onload = function() { window_onload(); }</SCRIPT>
<META content="MSHTML 6.00.6000.16386" name=GENERATOR></HEAD>
<BODY style="OVERFLOW: auto" edaconnectionrequired="true">

</xml></BODY></HTML>

Below is the procedure code:

-INCLUDE reservation_details
-INCLUDE holder_details

both the procedures have popup desc turned on as below and the synonyms have the required descriptions.
ON TABLE SET POPUPDESC ON

Note: When popup is turned on only on one proc there is no problem. When it is enabled on both I see the below javascript error

'skn' is null or not an object

Hi all,

FYI, this seems to be resolved in the other topic that Nam has: http://forums.informationbuild...971057331/m/10310792

Hi Kerry,

I am still having this javascript error problem when POPUP DESC is enabled on more than one included report. The link that you included is for another problem. Or if you do have the right link to the solution please let me know.

Thanks,
Nam

Hi Nam,

I passed this one internally and here is the response: The best suggestion here would be to open a case and upload the entire page and fexs causing the problem.

To open a case, you may either call at 1-800-736-6130, or access online at InfoResponse.

Cheers,

Kerry
