jQuery and Sample Viewer Problem [message #1732424]

Hi,

I refer to an OpenText blog post (http://developer.actuate.com/community/forum/index.php?/files/file/1125-jquery-and-open-source-birt/) which details how to use jQuery in BIRT reports. I have downloaded the report and have it working.

I tested the report in the OS sample viewer (birt.runtime_4.3.1.v20130918-1142) and can see that there are issues when the Table Of Contents (TOC) is engaged and contains entries (see attached .rptdesign); it stops the jQuery.

With no entries in the TOC, I can open and close it and everything is fine but when I add some TOC entries on ProductCode (Element ID: 474), I see the following issues:

1. Open and close the the TOC then use viewer page navigation buttons:
- highlights remain until I use the page forward/back buttons but no more highlights after they are used
2. Open the TOC and select a link
- hyperlink works
- no more highlights after link selected

Q1: Are there known bugs with TOC and head.js?
Q2: Has anyone encountered this issue and found a workaround?

I am in the position where I must either exclude jQuery (and other js libs such as Google charts) from the reports or modify the viewer to exclude the TOC. One or the other!

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks,
David.
