Hi,

It looks to me like you've copied a piece of JavaScript written for a Cognos 10 report and tried to embed it in a Cognos Analytics report? If you want to adopt this approach, you're going to need to set the "Run with full interactivity" property for the report to "No", so that the report viewer emulates the old static Cognos 10 viewer. If you want to use JavaScript in a report with Full Interactivity enabled, you need to have the code stored in a file the server can access, and you reference it in your report using a Custom Control object.

Cheers!

MF.
