How to Add Action Button to the Prompt Page

[vamsivanka]

I am trying to add a custom action button to a report "Prompt" page using "Html Item"

My Code inside Html Item:

<form name="proj_review_frm" action="http://mywebpage/apps/pdrs/home.cfm" method="post" target="_blank"> 
            <input type="hidden" name="user_id" value='myuserid'>         
                 <input type="submit" value="     PDRS     ">
         </form>

when i run the report and click the new generated button, it is not talking me to the new page and also the action is not creating a new page tab.

Is there a possible solution for this? Let me know.

Thanks.

Somebody is still using Cold Fusion?  Wow!


It's even better in 11.0.7.  In full interactivity mode, JavaScript errors are shown in an alert box.  Without full interactivity mode, the Welcome page loads.

...but where does 'myuserid' come from?  It seems like you'd have two HTML items with a session parameter between them:

HTML Item:

Code Select Expand

<form name="proj_review_frm" action="http://mywebpage/apps/pdrs/home.cfm" method="post" target="_blank">
        <input type="hidden" name="user_id" value='

HTML Item with source type = Data item value

Code Select Expand

#sq($account.defaultName)#

HTML Item:

Code Select Expand

'>
        <input type="submit" value="     PDRS     ">
</form>

But this works:
HTML Item:

Code Select Expand

<a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=
HTML Item with source type = Data item value

Code Select Expand

'dinner'
HTML Item:

Code Select Expand

" target="_blank">Find Food</a>


So, if you're doing that, why not this?

Code Select Expand

<a href="http://mywebpage/apps/pdrs/home.cfm?user_id=

Code Select Expand

#sq($account.defaultName)#

Code Select Expand

" target="_blank">PDRS</a>


Is it a question of POST vs. GET?
