Hi,

Does anyone know how to resize a Tree prompt using Javascript or some such?

My tree prompts take up too much space on opening (even though they are just showing the root member to begin with) and do not look ascetically pleasing.

Cheers,

Ha! I found out last night who you are - nice to see you posting on here, my friend!! :) Henceforth I shall call you Ricardo! ;)

I don't (ever) do javascript, sadly, but just wanted to mention that it's not supported in Interactive Mode reports in Cognos Analytics (Cognos 11). You might save yourself some headaches later down the line if you can find alternatives at this point.

Cheers!

Meep!

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

I expect you are old enough to get the Ricky Villa reference.

There must be a way of resizing tree prompts as it looks pants.

When is Cognos 11 out (or is it already)...?  Any good or has IBM shafted it and it's time to jump ship ;)

Cheers,

Ricky

I assume you've tried the Size & Overflow option...?

Ricardo Julio "Ricky" Villa

Yep. Ideally I would like it to dynamically change size without using scroll bars.

You mean the 1981 reference? The FA Cup final? Extra time? Spurs against Man City? Nope - not ringing any bells ;)

You ought to be able to use Size & Overflow to size your prompt, but it will be a fixed size.

Cognos Analytics (Cognos 11) was released last December. I don't think "any good" even scratches the surface of its awesomeness! :)

Take a look if you have a spare 40 minutes...
