Mouseover Reprompt Button / Alert Pop up

[TheFrenchGuy]

Hello all,

I've checked on site for a solution but all I've test don't work.

My requirement :
_I have cascading prompts
_The first is auto submit, the second one multi select (not auto submit btw)

In order to aware user that if he choses multiple selection, he not gonna have detail, I want an alert or a message when he presses "Reprompt" button.

But I don't know how to do it !
I've test html items like <span id></span> or <p title></p> without any result.

Help may be appreciated =)
Thx in advance

ps : in order to retrieve how regions they have selected, I force the reprompt button by rendering finish button when "paramCount>0". If javascript autorefresh for multiple select is available

You can hide the Reprompt button, then create your own Reprompt button in javascript, then have your Reprompt button press the hidden Cognos Reprompt Button.

To access your hidden Reprompt button using javascript, you will need to wrap it in html tags.  The exact syntax depends on which version of Cognos 10 you are using.  10.2 and above have a PROMPT API.  Below 10.2 you can use 'getFormWarpRequest()'.

Hello Ross,

ok to create an html reprompt button, but as a rookie in javascript, I don't know how to implement the alert onclick or the text mousover. That's the big deal

ps : cool links you provide ! But impossible to found a js code for implement Reprompt button which works as the original one

Thank for what you've done
