[SOLVED] Drilldowns and Jquery and HTMLFORM

I have a report is in HTML format using multiple drilldowns. It runs inside a frame on an HTML page, and it works fine. Now I want to style that report using JQuery Themes. In order to be able to put in the SCRIPT tags that JQuery needs, I took my report and added ON TABLE HOLD AS filename FORMAT HTMTABLE, and at the end of the code I used HTMLFORM BEGIN followed by !IBI.FIL.filename followed by HTMLFORM END. The report displays as expected, but the drilldowns no longer work, and I think it's because the IBI-generated javascript is not there any more. Has anyone downe anything like this?

First off, you don't have to hold as format HTMLTABLE, you can just hold as format HTML.

Secondly, what kind of drill downs are you using? If you are using javascript drilldowns, you will need to reference parent and have the javascript code within the html file. Drilldowns still work, but you may need to adjust them to work in the context of the frame. Example:

 
TYPE=DATA,
     COLUMN=N2,
     JAVASCRIPT=parent.add( \
     ID \
     ),
$
ENDSTYLE
END
-HTMLFORM BEGIN
<html>
<body>
!IBI.FIL.RESULT_X;
</body>
</html>
-HTMLFORM END

I'm just using the Webfocus drilldowns. Here's my drilldown code:

TYPE=DATA,
     COLUMN=N4,
     TARGET='_blank',
     DRILLMENUITEM='Printable Criminal History Report',
          FOCEXEC=app/criminalhistorylaunch( \
     THESPN=N3 \
     ),
     DRILLMENUITEM='Scanned Documents',
          URL=(ONBASE),
          TARGET='Document',
     DRILLMENUITEM='Mugshot History',
          FOCEXEC=app/mugshot_history_piclinkv2( \
     THESPN=N3 \
     ),
     DRILLMENUITEM='Jail Holds',
          FOCEXEC=app/jailhold_callv2( \
     THESPN=N3 \
     ),
$

Then, after I do the HOLD file, I have some HTML stuff that I was trying to put together. By using the browser debugger, I was able to see which IBI javascript files were necessary, so I added those in one at a time, but it's still not working. I'm convinced that I must be making this harder than it should be. Thanks again.

Looks like it's working! I changed it from HTMTABLE to format HTML, and that worked. Then I commented out my manually-added javascript lines, and it still worked! Thanks!

You - you're good, you.

With HOLD format HTMTABLE you do not get the JavaScript that is used for the multi-drilldown. You need to run the fex once with no HOLD statement, capture the generated HTML, then add the HOLD statement. This would result in the code below. In your example, you did not have the MDitems code, which is generated for each of the drill-down items.

-SET &ECHO=ALL;

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT SALES
BY COUNTRY
BY MODEL
ON TABLE HOLD AS HOLD1 FORMAT HTMTABLE
ON TABLE SET PAGE NOLEAD
ON TABLE SET STYLESHEET *
TYPE=REPORT, GRID=OFF, FONT='VERDANA', SIZE=8, $
TYPE=TITLE, STYLE=BOLD, $
TYPE=DATA, COLUMN=COUNTRY,
DRILLMENUITEM='Drilldown 1',
JAVASCRIPT=RunReportDD('MULTIDRILL3DD1' 'R1' COUNTRY),
DRILLMENUITEM='Drilldown 2',
JAVASCRIPT=RunReportDD('MULTIDRILL3DD2' 'R2' COUNTRY),
$
ENDSTYLE
END
-RUN

Hi Francis,
That's exactly what I was doing - capturing the html and then stuffing it back in. That's when I realized that there must be a better way. I tried J's suggestion of using just HTML instead, and that did the trick.

The interesting thing about J's method, which I also use all over is that the html page has non standards-compliant HTML - it will have two tags... Luckily the browsers are forgiving.

NO kidding. I've worked on my application for the last 3 years to get it looking just the way I want, and I'm sure I'll have to start all over again.

Is there a way to use this method on TYPE=HEADING?
