[SOLVED] Drill Down report via .NET Webservice
I have a report that is rendered to a .NET application via a webservice call. The report has a drill down link to another report that I want to render on the same page as the first report. This works fine via the WF servlet. However, I am not sure how to do this in .NET because it wants to post back to the browser, and I lose my original report.

Any body have any experience with drill down reports via .NET webservices? Can you invoke a _doPostBack in javascript on the drilldown on the FEX?

Help!!!

Not real sure I can help to much without something more to work with but I'll give it a shot......

Ajax sounds like it would be your friend on this one. Make the hyperlinks be javascript ajax function calls. When clicked this would send off an xmlhttp request to FOCUS in the background. You would then consume the response just like you did the first webservice call but this time on the just on the client instead of the server. The rest is just parsing it back in the original calling page. This is not so much a .Net nor FOCUS question more so than it is a Javascript question IMHO.

Never mind. I solved it by using Javascript=(param) from the DATA drill down in the report, and sending it back to the .NET app. Because it is with Javascript, there is no postback.
