Using Web Display Format: HTML

Example: Customizing the Display of an HTML Report

The following example illustrates how you can customize the display of an HTML report by calling your own JavaScript function in addition to the WebFOCUS default JavaScript functions. Use the JSURL SET parameter to accomplish this.

The JavaScript function shown here disables the right-click menu when you run a report.

1. Create a js file and save it in a location accessible by the web server.

   For example, the following disables the right-click menu in an HTML report:

   function setnocontextclick () {
      if (document.body != null) { 
         document.body.oncontextmenu=new Function("return false");
      }
      else 
         window.setTimeout("setnocontextclick()",100);
   }
   function killmenuOnLoadFunc(arrayofonloads,currentindex) {
        setnocontextclick();
   }

   This file is saved as killmenu.js in the ibi_apps/ibi_html directory.

   Note: The onload function must be named in the format.

   customfunctionnameOnLoadFunc

   where:

   customfunctionname

   Is the name of the JavaScript file that contains the function code.

2. Add the JSURL parameter to your TABLE request. You can add the command to the edasprof.prf file if you want the js file to run with every HTML report that is run on that server.
3. Run the report.

   SET JSURL=/ibi_apps/ibi_html/killmenu.js
   TABLE FILE CENTORD
   SUM QUANTITY
   BY PLANTLNG
   END

   The right-click menu option is not available in the report output.

Example: Disabling Default WebFOCUS JavaScript Functions

You can disable or modify default WebFOCUS JavaScript functions using the JSURL SET parameter. The following example illustrates how all WebFOCUS default functions can be displayed in an alert box and disabled.

1. Create a js file and save it in a location accessible by the web server.

   This file is saved as disable.js in the ibi_apps/ibi_html directory. The arrayofonloads array consists of two string parameters, str1 and str2. str1 is the name of the function to call on load. str2 is a Boolean (true/false) that indicates whether or not to perform the action described by str1. The currentindex parameter is a sequence number that defines the order in which the function is loaded when the page is displayed.

   function disableOnLoadFunc(arrayofonloads,currentindex) {
     buffer ="";
      for (var index=0;index<arrayofonloads.length;index++) {
         buffer += arrayofonloads[index].str1+"\n" ;
         arrayofonloads[index].str2=false;
      }
      alert(buffer);
   }

2. Add the JSURL parameter to your TABLE request.
3. Run the report.

   -OLAP ON
   SET AUTODRILL = ON
   SET JSURL=/ibi_apps/ibi_html/disable.js
   TABLE FILE CENTORD
   SUM QUANTITY
   BY PLANTLNG
   END

   The output looks like this:
