Adding correct DOC TYPE to Dashboard's HTML

May 01, 2013, 05:50 PM

Hello,

The following is the HTML that is generated by WebFOCUS when a user logins to group view:

 
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>WebFOCUS Business Intelligence Dashboard</TITLE>
<SCRIPT type="text/javascript">
	window.name="mainWindow";
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<FRAMESET rows="*" cols="*" border="0">
<FRAMESET rows="105, *" cols="*" border="0">
<FRAME src="/ibi_apps/Controller?WORP_REQUEST_TYPE=worp_get_banner&BANNER_LINK=HELP,LOGOFF&" name="banner" title="Banner Frame" scrolling="no" FRAMEBORDER="0">
<FRAMESET rows="20, *" cols="*" border="0">
<FRAME src="/ibi_apps/Controller?WORP_REQUEST_TYPE=SHOW_TOOLBAR&TOOLBAR_NAME=ibitoolbar&TOOLBAR_TYPE=hor&" name="ibitoolbar" title="Toolbar Frame" scrolling="no" FRAMEBORDER="0">
<FRAME src="/ibi_apps/Controller?WORP_REQUEST_TYPE=SHOW_CONTENT&" name="contentFrame" title="Content Frame" scrolling="no" FRAMEBORDER="0">
</FRAMESET>
</FRAMESET>
</FRAMESET>
</HTML>

I want to add DOCTYPE and meta for IE=Edge, so the HTML would look like:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=Edge">
<TITLE>WebFOCUS Business Intelligence Dashboard</TITLE>
<SCRIPT type="text/javascript">
	window.name="mainWindow";
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<FRAMESET rows="*" cols="*" border="0">
<FRAMESET rows="105, *" cols="*" border="0">
<FRAME src="/ibi_apps/Controller?WORP_REQUEST_TYPE=worp_get_banner&BANNER_LINK=HELP,LOGOFF&" name="banner" title="Banner Frame" scrolling="no" FRAMEBORDER="0">
<FRAMESET rows="20, *" cols="*" border="0">
<FRAME src="/ibi_apps/Controller?WORP_REQUEST_TYPE=SHOW_TOOLBAR&TOOLBAR_NAME=ibitoolbar&TOOLBAR_TYPE=hor&" name="ibitoolbar" title="Toolbar Frame" scrolling="no" FRAMEBORDER="0">
<FRAME src="/ibi_apps/Controller?WORP_REQUEST_TYPE=SHOW_CONTENT&" name="contentFrame" title="Content Frame" scrolling="no" FRAMEBORDER="0">
</FRAMESET>
</FRAMESET>
</FRAMESET>
</HTML>

Is there anyway this can be done? Any JSP to edit? Thanks

You should be able to add it but since it will be in the core code you will have to insure that you document it so that you can repeat the modification each time you upgrade. Someone here may know the precise file to modify but I would suggest you open a case so that you can get exact instructions for your version of WF.

I found it. It is created by the following file:
ibi\WebFOCUS77\webapps\webfocus\worp\jsp\layout\WORP_Layout.jsp
I shall modify it later in the week on our sandbox and post my results back here.

Edited ibi\WebFOCUS77\webapps\webfocus\worp\jsp\layout\WORP_Layout.jsp file to include the following (just before the tag):<BR><BR><pre class="ip-ubbcode-code-pre"> <% String paramValue = request.getParameter("WORP_MPV"); %> <% if ("aa_gbv".equalsIgnoreCase(paramValue) || "ab_gbv".equalsIgnoreCase(paramValue) ) { %> <!DOCTYPE html> <HTML> <HEAD> <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=Edge"> <%} else {%> <HTML> <HEAD> <%}%> </pre><BR><BR>In the above code, the DOC TYPE is set only for aa_gbv and ab_gbv, for other views IBI default setting is used. I understand that this file might need to be replaced when we apply any hotfixes/upgrades (version 8 is years away for us). Any other disadvantages/thoughts on using this approach?
