I have a prompt page with both a tree prompt and a search and select box. I added some javascript to resize the results pane of the search and select box.
But when I include this resize code it causes the other tree prompt to render blank. Any ideas on what is happening here? Is there a way to have cognos redraw the tree prompt correctly while still alowing me to modify the search box size? I don't see why it's affecting the tree since everything in the javascript is modifying an associated div.
something like:
<script>
getelementbyid(mydiv)
Find the node within mydiv object that starts with TYpe (search box)
get the element by id here (gets the search box)
set it's width to 500
</script>
I am experiencing this exact problem myself. If anyone has worked through this issue, please do share!!
Thanks... Mark
Working with a post on a different forum, I was able to produce a solution. Thanks to "Ajitha" for the starting point...
I have this working in my 8.4 environment. As I have many prompt controls, I have altered the solution as follows so as to re-use the function for any prompt to be re-sized by adding a parameter to be passed in related to the object name (DIV):
1. Add an HTML item to the top of the Page Body and include the following code in it:
<script language="javascript">
function resizeSS(prmt_id)
{
var eleTg1 = document.getElementById(prmt_id);
var selectObject = null;
if (eleTg1 && eleTg1 != undefined)
{selectObject = eleTg1.getElementsByTagName('SELECT');
if (selectObject[0] && selectObject[0] != undefined)
{selectObject[0].style.width = 'Auto';}
if (selectObject[1] && selectObject[1] != undefined)
{selectObject[1].style.width = 'Auto';}
}
}
</script>
2. Before each and every Search and Select prompt control to be auto-sized, add an HTML item and insert the following code in it, changing prompt_name for each control so that it is named meaningfully and unique:
<DIV ID="prompt_name">
3. After each Search and Select prompt control to be auto-sized, add an HTML item and insert the following code in it, changing prompt_name for each control so that it is using the name given in the DIV tag in the HTML Item before the prompt:
</div>
<script language="javascript">
resizeSS('prompt_name');
</script>
I should also note where the fixed width pixel values of 600 were replaced with 'Auto'
...this will automatically expand the width of the object based on the search results/selections.
