When you run a report with a search and select prompt, the default selection is "starts with any of these keywords".  What I want to do is when you run the report, the default selection is "contains any of these keywords".  This would eliminate the user from having to open "options" to change it. 

If any one has an idea on how to accomplish this, please let me know.

Thanks.

I am having the same issue.  I've tried using the following javascript in an HTML item but for some reason its not working.  Feel free to try it to see if it works for you:

<script>
searchUID.setOptions('on', 'off');
</script>

(Where UID is the ID of the search and select prompt).

Send me an email and I will give you the answer to the problem.  However, I've been warned that this solution/trick is not 'upgradeable' to C8.  Because of that, I am not planning on using the solution, but you're more than welcome to it.

I've been using this:
Code Select
<SCRIPT language="javascript">

Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  searchFOO.setOptions('on', 'on');

</SCRIPT>

Where FOO is the ID of the search and select prompt.

Check my article on SupportLink. It should give you a good idea on how to develop an "upgradeable" solution.

But, I understand that you might be time pressed, so ..., alternatively you may put this piece of code as an HTML Item somehwere towards the end of page.

Code Select
<script language="JavaScript">

for( var i=0; i<preProcessControlArray.length; i++){

var cntlName = eval(preProcessControlArray[i]);

if ( cntlName.m_oSubmit.name == 'p_First name' ){

Ã,  var s = new String(cntlName.m_sRef);

Ã,  var oIdAdvancedOptions = document.getElementById("idAdvancedOptions"+s);

Ã,  var oimgAdvancedArrow = document.getElementById("imgAdvancedArrow"+s);

Ã,  var oIdSelections = document.getElementsByName("swsOption"+s);

Ã,  oIdAdvancedOptions.style.display = "inline";

Ã,  oimgAdvancedArrow.src = "../skins/current/prompting/images/prompt_option_collapse.gif";

Ã,  if (cntlName.m_oShowOptions)

Ã,  {

Ã,  Ã,  cntlName.m_oShowOptions.value="true";

Ã,  }

Ã,  oIdSelections[2].checked="1";

Ã,  cntlName.setOptions('on','off');

Ã,  break;

}

}

</script>

Enjoy!

I’m using the code below to change the default option to “Contains Any” the code selects the correct option but when clicking Search it returns the results of “Starts with”. But if I delete the code and select “Contains Any” manually the Search works correctly. I have the code in an HTML Item right after the Select & Search Prompt.

I’m running ver 8.1
ID = SSP

<script language="javascript">
document.all.swsMatchAny.checked="true";
searchSSP.setOptions('on', 'on');
</script>

Hi guys,

I had the same problem of Bryan. Darek can you explain why ? Maybe something is missing in your code.

This code will change the default option to "Contains any of these keywords" and "SSP" is the name of the Search and Select Object.

<html>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
//resize SSP (InternalClientNo prompt)
document.forms("formWarpRequest")._sws_SSP_matchAnywhere.value= 'true';
document.forms("formWarpRequest")._sws_SSP_matchAll.value= 'false';
document.forms("formWarpRequest").swsOptionSSP(2).checked=true;
// -->
</script>
</html>

What is the easiest way to change the default options for search and select prompt? Can you share it to me?
