I am using HTML Launch pages with drop-down menus, text boxes, and push buttons created with WebFOCUS Resource Layout Painter. The HTML Launch pages call procedures within a self-service reporting application.

However the issue is that there is a requirement to dynamically assign English or French characters to text fields on the HTML Launch pages based on a language preference/value.

Is it possible to dynamically assign English or French characters to text fields on HTML Launch pages using WebFOCUS Resource Layout Painter? Any suggestions on how to accomplish this task is appreciated.

Thank you.

You can do this with Dialog Manager, but I don't think it can be done with Resource Layout Painter.

We were able to dynamically set the calendar created within the painter for version 7.1.3. The HTML page needed to check the value of the MRE language variable (&IBIWF_language).

We then modified the ibiglb.js in the WF/ibi_html/javaassist/ibi/html/js directory and created French versions of the calendar files (dynCalendar.js and calendarInit-fr.js from the WF/ibi_html/javaassist/ibi/html/maint directory).

It was messy but we couldn't find another way.
