DOJO widgets within Cognos report - any ideas ?

[horne47789]

Hi everyone - I have a set of reports which include some drop down selectors. Each drop down has up to 500 individual items which can be chosen from. The result is that users can't find the choice they want in the drop down.

I'd like to use dojo widgets instead. They offer more dynamic control on the front end, allowing the user to type in a few characters and the list is restricted based upon that. I could then have them pass their selected values into hidden Cognos prompts using Javascript.

The problem I have is that the dojo widgets are all badly rendered - there is obviously a conflict or issue with CSS when placing standard dojo code within a Cognos report.

Has anyone else done this - do you have any ideas what I can do to make the widgets render properly and be usable ?

Thanks a lot - Damian
