Hi gurus,
I'm using a javascript for prompt button. I would have use cognos prompt button but, script has some alert messages to show when user entering the prompts.
When I hit the prompt button it is giving error as 'null' is null or not an object. Please find the attached snapshot of the error.
I used to have 2 date ranges prompts before and this button was working fine. Later we don't require the second date range so we deleted that prompt and modified script accordingly. Since then I'm getting this error.
Please help me out. here is the script.
Thanks in advance
