Title: "Live" Content in Active Report?
Post by: nikfalla on 24 Mar 2015 09:49:38 AM
My reporting requirement is for a ticker in active report that displays "Live" content.

Think about something like a stock ticker at the bottom of the active report dashboard.

I realize that the nature of MHTM file is to be consumed offline, but I am wondering if someone has ideas how to create a hybrid of offline content together with some live data.

Please note that my issue is not how to create a ticker, I have that part figured out!

Thanks in advance.

In case anyone is interested, I found the answer to my own question:
I was able to place an iFrame in active report and load the live content from the website.
This does run within the MHT file with no issues.

I would not have guess an iframe would work inside an MHT.

Thanks for posting the info.

For future people (Hi future people! Do you have wireless electricity yet?), just one caveat with this excellent method: It will not work properly if the AR is consumed from an off-line device.
