Javascript issues in Upgrading 8.2 to 8.3

[kamatamdeva]

Hello,
    We are migrating 8.2 to 8.3 and have some javascript issues. your help is appreciated.

Here is the issue that we have.

We used the following Cognos Supportlink article in all of our reports to remove the default 2 options from cognos value prompt

(http://support.cognos.com/supported/supportlink/15n4/techreview02.xml) . I am attaching the article as an image here



Here is the image of default cognos value prompt with Parameter name and “--------------“

We are removing the line and also replacing the text Parameter1 with more meaningful information like

“Please select Week” etc.

We are getting the name Week in above line from the properties of the prompt







We found that article in cognos support site and it is useful to remove those 2 lines for all the prompts with one script like below.



<script language="javascript">

var x = document.getElementsByTagName('select');

var RN_SelectName = "_oLstChoices";
var RN_SelectClass = "clsSelectControl";

var is_Required;

for (var i=0;i<x.length;i++)
{
if (x.className != RN_SelectClass) continue;

eval('is_Required =
listBox'.concat(x.name.substr(
RN_SelectName.length,x.name.length).concat
('.isRequired();')));

for (var j=0;j<x.length;j++)
{
if (x.options(j).value == "") {
x.remove(j);
}
}

if (is_Required) {
//remove the "-------------" option
x.remove(0);
eval('listBox'.concat(x.name.substr(
RN_SelectName.length,x.name.length).concat('.checkData
()')));
}
else {
//make "-------------" option blank
x.options(0).text = '';
x.options(0).value = '';
}
}

</script>







Now I Found the below article in cognos website but seems to be difficult to get the prompt name from properties with the below script

      For IBM Cognos 8.1 and 8.2 use this code fragment :

             <script>
                     document.formWarpRequest._oLstChoicesPromptName[0].text = 'My Own Text';
            </script>



    For IBM Cognos 8.3 use this code fragment :

              <script language="JavaScript">

                  function setDefaultValue()
                  {
                       var fW = (typeof getFormWarpRequest == "function" ? getFormWarpRequest() : document.forms["formWarpRequest"]);

                       if (fW)

                       {

                            fW._oLstChoicesPromptName.options[0].text = 'My Own Text';
                            fW._oLstChoicesPromptName.focus();
                            fW._oLstChoicesPromptName.blur();
                        }
                  }

                  setTimeout("setDefaultValue()", 10);
            </script>
