We have a fairly complex html launch page developed in 7.1.7. It has multiple chained list boxes and lots of check boxes. Before we upgraded to 7.6.10, we loaded the html into the painter, changed a new list box properties then ran the process and it worked fine. Problem is, we didn't test enough. After the upgrade, we dropped one of the check box parameters from the fex and removed it from the html. Now the procedure wants to prompt for every check box parameter and we can't seem to figure out how to fix it. We have been over and over the documentation to no avail. I'm guessing we are missing something because surely we are not going to have to rebuild the html process just for 7.6.10.This message has been edited.

You may have already done this, but check the Properties for the fex and make sure the Prompt for Parameters box is unchecked. Also, if you don't already have -DEFAULT settings for each of your parameters, adding them should prevent any prompting. WebFOCUS 7.7.05 | |||

It seems that after the upgrade, we are now prompted for any check box that we do not select, even though they all have -DEFAULT values. So, if we don't touch the code, just do the upgrade, this happens. Dev Studio /7.6.11/7.7.02M MVS/USS AIX/SOLARIS Windows WF Client 7.6.8/7.6.11 | |||

There are a number of parameters that get set up in the WF Client that also control parameter prompting. Did these parameters get set properly when you did your upgrade?

Thanks Darin. Not sure. I'll have to forward this to the sys admin that did the upgrade. I just remembered that before the upgrade, we brought up this process in app dev studio 7.6.10, against a 7.6.10 server, then made a change and ran it with no problem. It was only after the official upgrade that this happened which tends to support that there may be an improperly configured setting.

Darin, can you shed a little light on some of those settings? We are currently using 7.6.9 and have encountered a couple of issues and are looking at the "upgrade" to 7.6.10 (soon) for the IE8 capabilities. I have run into some issues with 7.6.9 and the HTML painter. When I try to use a Submit Button in an HTML Painter the Javascript for the button click event does not get placed into the code and I am not sure if version 7.6.10 resolves that issue or not.

Because of Darin's note, I went through and checked settings. During the upgrade to 7.6.10, the property of "Prompt for Parameters" go turned on for all focexecs. Having discovered that, we went through and "unchecked" that property and now the prompting works as designed.

I know I'm a day late and a dollar short on this, but for the sake of accuracy -DEFAULT does not eliminate prompting of a Parameter, it only loads in a Default value for your parameter. To stop getting prompted for a variable either do a -SET so that the variable is not unresolved or use -DEFAULTH which will hide the default value from prompting, but still allow passed variables to overwrite it.

Better late than never, Eric! Your comment was right on the spot and certainly clarifies some confusion surrounding the use of -DEFAULT and its impact on prompting. Thanks! Neftali.

Steve: I will definitely look at all of our Fexes to see if the "Prompt for Parameters" was turned on while we are testing 7.6.10. Eric: I will have to take a look at the DEFAULTH...I assume that is new to 7.6.10? When working in the HTML Painter if I add a button to the screen via the GUI and add a hyperlink to the button, should the click event of that button execute to the URL? OR do I need to actually add the JavaScript to the HTML code to add the onclick event for the button? It seems like the program would be intuitive enough to add that on its own but it doesn't seem to be doing that in 7.6.9 or 7.6.10?

Ginny, Thanks for the info....My Supervisor let me know that fact about an hour after I posted that question. Ginny do you know if the Javascript onclick event for a button in the HTML painter gets added automatically when you add the button and reference a URL link within the painter? OR do you have to add the javascript to the HTML code to get the button to work?

//Begin function button1_OnClick
function button1_OnClick(ctrl) {
// TODO: Add your event handler code here
OnExecute(ctrl)
}
//End function button1_OnClickThis is from an old page I created in 2007 (because I don't do URL references a lot--too much typing) and the button works and runs the focexec. It appears that you don't have to add code to get it to work. I surely didn't. You could try creating a simple page with just a button and no parms to execute a simple fex just to see what gets generated.

Not sure about 7.6.10, but it is resolved in 7.6.11. Just watch out for PDF outputs, some keywords have new definitions that could change the current layouts. Incorrect HTML calendar dates... Developer Studio 7.6.11 AS400 - V5R4 HTML,PDF,XLS | |||
