DHTML

Format: DHTML (.htm, .mht)

Description: Supports hyperlinks and other World Wide Web features. Retains StyleSheet formatting.

Along with the features of the HTML format, DHTML supports the web archive format (.mht). An .mht file can contain multiple reports and graphs and is utilized for WebFOCUS Coordinated Compound Reports.

Suggested Uses: Report Library, Email for display in a web browser.

Considerations:

• The default file type for the DHTML format is .mht. If the output returned from your procedure is HTML, you must manually change the file type to .htm in order for the output file to open correctly.
• Bursting is supported, except for FML reports.
• DHTML can be distributed inline, provided the Reporting Server is not returning a web archive file (.mht). It cannot be used to distribute inline if the returned file is a web archive file.
• DHTML can be distributed as an email attachment and be sent as an inline email message when the output is .htm, but not when the output is .mht.
• DHTML will return two possible formats:
  • The scheduled procedure (FOCEXEC) outputs an HTML file when the request does not contain the SET HTMLARCHIVE=ON command. When distributing by email or FTP, the file type should be .htm.
  • The scheduled procedure (FOCEXEC) outputs a web archive file (.mht) when the SET HTMLARCHIVE=ON command is specified. When distributing by email or FTP, the file type should be .mht.
