Hi all,

I have a v7.7.x HTML Launch Page for which I specified a loading screen. This is done in the body properties and becomes part of the body tag. Valid options are...
<BODY loadingscreen="none" >
<BODY loadingscreen="default" >
<BODY loadingscreen="url_to_htm_page" >


This all works just fine. However, I have a report that opens in an iframe on the HTML Launch Page and when that report runs it uses the same Loading Screen as the launch page.

Do any of you know how I may be able to prevent the Loading Screen from being displayed for the report running in the iframe?

I tried creating a launch page for the report that runs inside the iframe but I can't get the variable selections from the 'parent' launch page to pass to the 'child' launch page. Besides, that just seems like too much work to turn off a simple loading screen.

I also tried setting the report output to HTMTABLE and then including the table in a separate HTML page where I set loadingscreen="none" but that didn't work either. It seems like the setting in the top-most page is used by all child pages regardless of their settings.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Dan

Hi Dan,

I passed this one to our technicals and here is the suggestion.

To reference and change the loadscreen you would need the following code:

function onInitialUpdate(){
document.body.loadingscreen="default";
}


If this does not work, you may want to open a case with Customer Support Services for additional assistance, and/or maybe this will be a New Feature Request (NFR). To open a case, please call at 1-800-736-6130, or access online at InfoResponse.

Cheers,

Kerry

Sorry Kerry. There is a better way and supported way. For the BODY object use the "Loading screen" property to set it off, default, or to a custom screen of your choosing. This method is supportable and upgradeable.

Years later... the question isn't answered yet.

David's response confirms Dan's initial statement about the possibilities of the Loading Screen values.

I, too, would like to have the loading screen NOT appear in SOME iframes on an HTML Composer designed page.
