Java Script in Cognos 8.4.1

[Aditi]

Hi,
I am unable to make this script work in 8.4.1 while the same script works in 8.2 :

<script> target_url = '--------'

function Print_Report() {


to_set = target_url;
to_set += '&p_parcomment_textbox=';
to_set += escape(document.forms["formWarpRequest"].elements["_textEditBoxUID_C1"].value);

var obj = document.forms["formWarpRequest"].elements["_oLstChoicesUID_G"];
var GrdLst = '';   
var ii;

for(ii=0;ii<obj.length;ii++)
{
   if(obj.options(ii).selected)
       GrdLst = GrdLst + "&p_parGrade=" + obj.options(ii).value;      

}


//GrdLst = GrdLst.substr(0, GrdLst.length-1);
//alert(GrdLst);

//to_set += '&p_parGrade=';
//to_set += escape(document.forms["formWarpRequest"].elements["_oLstChoicesUID_G"].values);
to_set += GrdLst;


to_set += '&p_parGrade=';
to_set += escape(document.forms["formWarpRequest"].elements["_oLstChoicesUID_G"].value);



var obj1 = document.forms["formWarpRequest"].elements["_oLstChoicesUID_GC"];
var GrdCatLst = '';   
var jj;

for(jj=0;jj<obj1.length;jj++)
{
   if(obj1.options(jj).selected)
       GrdCatLst = GrdCatLst + "&p_pargradecategory=" + obj1.options(jj).value;      

}
to_set += GrdCatLst;


to_set += '&p_pardatefrom=';
to_set += (pickerControlUID_SD.m_oForm.value);

to_set += '&p_pardateto=';
to_set += (pickerControlUID_ED.m_oForm.value);

window.open(to_set);
}

</script>


also along with this script i have the second JS  :):

<input type="button" value="Print" onClick="Print_Report()">

Can anybody help ??? :-[

For the 3rd line in your function
escape(document.forms["formWarpRequest"].elements["_textEditBoxUID_C1"].value);

try changing to

escape(getFormWarpRequest()._textEditBoxUID_C1.value)


var obj = document.forms["formWarpRequest"].elements["_oLstChoicesUID_G"];

try changing to
var obj= (getFormWarpRequest()._oLstChoicesUID_G)

Try one by one line..put alert and check ..

Suhan,
thanks for replying.
i got the script working by just changing the Form Warp Request.

But i would like to know which functions does not Cognos 8.4.1 supports which were used in cognos 8.2.
I am not aware of JS or Java.

is mylist function also not supported by 8.4??

following is the script which is also giving me an error.:


<script>
mylist = getFormWarpRequest().elements["_oLstChoicesAOP_CASE"];
mylist.remove(0);
mylist.remove(0);
mylist.onchange();
</script>

Yes it works in both way either by just replacing to getFormWarpRequest().

The code you have given to remove the dotted lines is working fine.

Just check if name of the value prompt is same  as AOP_CASE or this may not be the code which is giving you the error.

mylist is not a function.its just a variable name.it can be anything.for e.g  x

Just refer the doc link which i have given know about the supported functions.

Hope this helps you

Thanks

Hi Suhan,

I tried opening the link given by you, but i guess it has stopped working.

yes i checkd the name of the value prompt and it was wrong.
thanks for bringing this into light.
still my report doesn't works as desired.
I am again checking on the names of all the prompts mention (if they are correct).

I will post if i am stuck sumwhere..

Thanks a lot again!
