Hi All,
We have created custom print buttons for our reports to match our applications button style, size, color, etc. They look fine except when we apply these to tabbed reports. The updated version will look fine on the initial tab of the report BUT will revert to basic style and appearance on the subsequent tabs. Thinking the HTML only fires on the initial opening of the report and is not triggered to parse it once again for the second or subsequent tab of the report. Looking inconsistent from tab to tab.
Any thoughts on how we can tell Cognos to refresh the tab upon opening to trigger the parsing of the html to set the buttons for the updated design? Attached screenshot for visual.
Thanks,
Joe
I resolved this problem finally by moving the HTML item containing the 'script' with style applied AFTER the HTML item creating the button. Figured out the 'script' first did not apply because the 'button' hadn't yet been recognized in the parsing of the code, so nothing to apply 'style' to..as far as it knew.
Also, forgot to mention, I changed the 'id' for the second (or subsequent) buttons on the other tabs. then updated script to reference the new id.
i.e. 2nd tab reset to id="button2PDF" in 'button' html item. in 'script' html item, updated references to the new id. document.getElementById("button2PDF")
Thanks,
Joe
