Hello,

I am creating a simple report that how same listings and links in it and would like to add a button onto it so the user can click on it in order to refresh it.

I am aware of the script that does automatic refreshing (http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/mv/tree/163879/#page_top), but I don't know how to create a button that would work as a "refresher".

Thanks!

Can anybody say is it possible to have something like that on the report or not?

Is this script usable in some way? What has to be changed in order to make it work/do what I need? Obviously time should be close to 0 in order to make it look like it is working instantly, but how to make it work on a users request?

Thanks.


<form name="input" onSubmit="return reloadPage();">

<script type="text/javascript">


function reloadPage() {
//alert("Reload time");
var temp = new String(location.href);
var targetURL = new String();

if(temp.indexOf("__overwrite=") != -1 ){
targetURL = temp.substring(0, temp.indexOf("&__overwrite") -1);
}else{
targetURL = temp;
}

targetURL += "&__overwrite=true";



//alert( targetURL );
location.replace(targetURL);

return false;
}

timer=setTimeout('reloadPage()', 60000);
</script>



</form>

There is a button example in that thread.
Add a text element to the report, set its type to html and put in:

<form name="input" onSubmit="return reloadPage();">

I tried what you said but no luck.

There were some other things that I tried but they (http://www.mediacollege.com/internet/javascript/page/reload.html) didn't help either since they would prompt for parameters to be put in again when deployed (if I click on the button in a designer's preview mode then it refreshes fine)...

How to add parameter values to be incorporated into refresh process automatically so we ca avoid parameter prompting?

Thanks.

if you add the &parametername=parametervalue to the url it should work.
You can also add &__parameterpage=false to the url.
