How to resize search and select prompt in Cognos 11?

[wdv72]

Hi all,

I would like to make the "search and select prompt" fields wider to fit the contents. In Cognos 8 and 10 this could be done with som e HTML items, but this does not work in 11.

Any suggestions?

How good are you with css? I wrote a custom control that makes it easy to embed custom css for specific controls:

Start with that, if you need any more help post here and I'll post a few examples.

Hi,

Does anyone happen to know how to get the Java code in the HTML items that worked in C10 to work in C11?  We have several reports that we're moving from C10 to C11 that have HTML items with Java...

Thank you,
Kevin

Hello wdv72,
If you want to change the prompt size globally, you can edit the css file aswell located: installpath\cognos\webcontent\prompting\reportskin\prompting\promptCommon.css

Hello kvangor27,

They should work the same way as they do in C10 if you set "Full Interactivity mode" to No.

Best regards,
Oscar

This seems like a clean solution but I am getting an error in 11.1 using custom control.
