Greetings!
I have a report with a SELECT & SEARCH Prompt. My boss requires that our users (senior executives) do not have to click 'OPTIONS' and enable the 'Contains all of these keywords' sub-option. My boss told me this 'sub-option' should be enabled at runtime.
I am thinking of using Javascript. I found this script that I tweaked so it `walks` my prompt page and displays its element names one by one.
Quote<script type="text/javascript">
function getInfo() {
for(var i = 0; i < document.forms["formWarpRequest"].elements.length; i++)
{ alert("element type = " + document.forms["formWarpRequest"].elements.type + "\nelement name = "
+ document.forms["formWarpRequest"].elements.name)}}
</script><input type="button" name="RptWalk" onclick="getInfo()" >
Walk!
This is how I found the name of the `
Contains all of these keywords` property I want to use
_sws_TITLESEARCHLIST_matchAll.
Problem is that I am unsure how to code the script I have to add on my prompt page. Since
TITLESEARCHLIST is the element name for my SELECT & SEARCH Prompt, I assume I would have to call the `
Contains all of these keywords` property, right? I have tried using
document.forms["formWarpRequest"].elements["_sws_TITLE_selectChoicestitleSearch"].property[0]=false
and
document.forms["formWarpRequest"].elements["_sws_TITLE_selectChoicestitleSearch"].option[0]=false...and I get the "...Is Null Or Not An Object" error message. Can someone please provide a few suggestions or pointers?
Thanks in advance,
Al.
PS: Can this be done without using Javascript?
No, it cannot be done without JavaScript. I've thought I've seen it doen on this forum before ...
Maybe thsi will give you an idea: http://support.cognos.com/supported/supportlink/techniques/ta_0704_01.html
first sorry bad english.
I guess only javascript can do that.
Try this for
one search in prompt page:
assign a ID for "Select & Search Prompt", SSP for example.
Insert HTML Item at end of page with this code:
Quote
<script language="javascript">
document.all.swsMatchAll.checked="true";
searchSSP.setOptions('on', 'on');
</script>
if you have
more than one "Select & Search Prompt" use this:
Quote
<script language="javascript">
var e=document.getElementsByName("swsOptionSSP");
for(var i=0;i<e.length;i++){
if (e.id == 'swsMatchAll') {
e.checked="true";
}
}
searchSSP.setOptions('on', 'on');
</script>
Repeat this for anothers "Select & Search Prompt" changing only SSP for your ID.
I tested here and works fine.
Guys,
Per Zaith's suggestion, I tried
Quote<script language="javascript">
document.all.swsMatchAll.checked="true";
searchSSP.setOptions('on', 'on');
</script>
...and it worked!! One question about "setOptions" ... is it a Javascript function or simply a Cognos function?
is a Cognos function for class search in javascript.
change title of topic and include [Solved] ;D
If MatchAll is for "Contains all of these keywords" what are the values for the other three options? I need to do this with the third one.
