Hello,

I'm trying to build a custom parameter page which can invoke different reports with same parameter set.

E.g.: In the following picture
index.php/fa/3485/0/

User can run report A or report B as they wish, passing same parameters.

With a custom parameter page:

//example.jsp

.....
<birt:parameterPage id="birtParmPage" reportDesign="Report_A.rptdesign"
name="my form"
pattern="frameset"
format="html"
isCustom="true"
showTitle="true"
showToolBar="true"
showNavigationBar="true"
>
ClientName: <birt:paramDef id="11" name="ClientName" "/>
<br>
Date From:
<input type="text" name="date_from" />
To:
<input type="text" name="date_to" />
<br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Run Report A"/>
......
.......
</birt:parameterPage>
....

....

<script type="text/javascript">
function RunReportB(){
window.location = "http://localhost/frameset?__report=Report_B.rptdesign&ClientName=<how to get the value of parameter ClientName, which is set by user?>&date_from=<how to get the value of parameter date_from?>&date_to=<how to get the value of parameter date_to?>"
}
</script>

<input type="button" value="Run Report B" onclick="RunReportB();"/>
The problem will be solved if we can get the values of parameter ClientName,date_from,date_to out from <birt:parameterPage> .... </birt:parameterPage> in any place in the jsp file.

Do something like the following:

<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/tlds/birt.tld" prefix="birt" %>
<%int myparm=22;%>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<title>Insert title here</title>
<style type="text/css">
..class1 { color:#ff0000; }
</style>

<script language="JavaScript">
function testme(){

alert("here" + document.page1.action );
var act = document.page1.action;
var newact =act.replace("testtag.rptdesign", "testtag2.rptdesign");
document.page1.action = newact;
return false;
}

</script>

</head>
<body>

Parameter Page 1
<br>
<birt:parameterPage
id="report1"
name="page1"
reportDesign="testtag.rptdesign"
isCustom="true"
baseURL="/2.6.2"
pattern="preview">
Text Parameter: <birt:paramDef id="1" name="text" cssClass="class1"
value="<%=myparm%>"/>
<br><br>
<input type="submit" value="Sumbit form A" onclick="JavaScript:testme()"/>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Sumbit form B"/>

<br><br>
</birt:parameterPage>

<br>
</body>
</html>

Just one further question, is there other property we can modify on the fly, besides document.page1.action, like document.page1.<Parameters>; ? Razz

Thanks.

Run the parameter page to html and view the source. You will see the
form the tags create and the parameters. The only issue is that they
will have javascript functions already generated for most of the
parameters. You can just manipulate the dom the same way the previous
example showed.
