I have created a launch page (2 frames) with two hyperlinks and some other control items (date boxes and dropdowns).

When I click on one of the hyperlinks, the report correctly loads in the content frame to the right. When I click on the other hyperlink l expect that report to overlay the report in the content frame from the first hyperlink.


Each hyperlink's properties box is coded: Target type and name: 'iframe39' (which is the name of the content frame).

I have been searching the 'Developing Reporting Applications' Manual and looking at Tech Support for any caveats re: multiple
reports to a frame via hyperlinks - but I see no advisories about this

I have no problems getting the controls generated report to be overwritten by a hyperlink-generated report.

Can you suggest anything?

You didn't mention what actually happens. Does it open a new window? From the description of your launch page, it sounds like it should work. Perhaps you have a typo? I'm not sure what you mean by

Francis,

I have created a launch page (2 frames). The frame page on the left contains two hyperlinks and control items (date boxes and dropdowns).

When I click on one of the hyperlinks or select parameters to be passed to a fex, the resulting report correctly loads in the content frame to the right.

When I click on the other hyperlink l expect that report triggered by the hyperlink to appear in the right side frame (thereby overlaying the (first) report which was
generated by the selected control parameters.

Instead of seeing the new report loading into the frame, the new report appears in a new window.

I have gone back over my configuration coding, and I verified that each hyperlink's properties box is coded: "Target type and name:
'iframe39'" (which is the name of the content frame).

I hope this clarifies it for you.

Thanks,
Tomsweb
Cool

Can you please repost the hyperlinks, and click on the Options link at the bottom left of the "Post A Reply" page and check "Disable HTML"?

Well, your problem is that one works and one doesn't, it would be nice to see both.

Almost correct...

Whether I generate the initial report via selected control parameters or via clicking on
the hyperlink...that initial report is loaded into the frame window. This is what I expect.

Then, when I want to generate a second (or next) report, it does not always load into the
same frame...sometimes it loads into a new opened window.

I have rechecked my settings, and I am sure that I have coded each control(thru report layout
painter) to load its report or URL into the frame page.

That is the problem. At best, its load performance is very inconsistent. Unless there is something missing, every report should always load into the right side frame.

If you need to see any other code, please let me know.

Thanks very much Smiler!

Tomsweb,

Unfortunately, I have no experience with the layout painter in v7 but I expect inconsistencies are to be expected! SOrry I can't help any further. Something that works sometimes and does not other times is very suspect. Perhaps you need the latest patches to Dev Studio or WF server.

The hyperlinks are attempting to launch GIS/ESRI maps in the frame and the controls
pass parms to report fexes to display in the
same frame.

After opening a case with the IB help desk, I learned that WebFOCUS treats displaying maps in a frame differently than it does a report.

The only way to launch display a map in a frame is to use a push button to launch the map instead of an hyperlink.

And so we learn...
