Temporarily disable prompt page

First off, hello everyone  :)

This is my first post so hopefully I'm not asking something dump...

I've been working with ReportNet 1.1 MR2 up until last week and we now switched to Cognos 8 BI. In ReportNet 1.1 I could "disable" a prompt page by disabling all filters that used parameters from the prompt page.
This is not working in Cognos 8 anymore. Is there any way to do this without deleting the page?

Thanks for any hints in advance!

Kind regards,
Mathias

First, make invisible all the prompts or blocks that contain prompts.
Second, use javascript to select and auto submit the prompts. This way the prompt page will not be visible to the user.
The key is, you have to submit the prompts to skip the page.

Thanks for the answer, really a bit more complicated than in 1.1  ;)

You could disable a filter if you select the query in query explorer. Select the filter you want to disable then in the properties pane change usage under general to disabled.

Can you please provide the javascript?  I'm using a select and search prompt.
