I have an html page that has about 10-15 fex's being executed after a parameter is posted. Several of these fex's are within a div that has the display: none style associated with it.

When executed any of the fex's that are showing execute properly. Any of the fex's that are currently hidden do not...

If I alter the display of those that didnt show properly and rerun the report they now will be displayed...

Very frustrating...anyone have any answers?

The way I see it, we do not hide or show fexes, we hide or show the HTML that the fexes generate.

Do your fexes generate HTML, ie. options for drop down boxes?

I usually have all the WebFOCUS code execute first, then the HTML is displayed.

Of course, I may not have understood the problem, could you please elaborate?

Here is an example:

<div id=content style="display:none">
 <iframe id="report1" ...></iframe>
</div>


When I have the div set as display:none the report will not render. If I have it set to display:block it will... I also just figured out that if I use the visibility style set instead of display that it will render...Perhaps this is an IE issue?

Cascading Style Sheet

display: none - the element is not displayed and does take up any space on the page.
visibility: hidden - the element is hidden but takes up space on the page.

Does your iframe have an href to a WebFOCUS request?

If it's set to display: none, how do you know something's not working, whatever is in that iframe is not diplayed?

I have the page setup as tabs, a fex is associated with each tab. When I click on the tab I set the display:block for the div. The report in theory should then be displayed...This isnt happening...

Reading on the web it looks like this is a possible IE problem....I suppose now I am just looking to see if there is a workaround from WebFocus' side...

gweller,

Just by changing your display attribute to block will not render the report as it doesn't exist. If you wish to use this method then what you really need to use is the visibility attribute of CSS instead of display. Values for this are hidden or visible.

Be warned though, that because the fexes will be actioned but not displayed the render time will be dependant upon the individual reports. If you have limitations on how many agents can be run at a time on your server then, obvoiusly, some fexes will have to wait until an agent is free.

Another method, so that the initial render is fairly swift, is to assign the src attribute of the iframe when your user clicks on the relevant tab. This will execute the fex at the time of click.
