Button on report [message #795508]

Good afternoon, thanks in advance for reading my problem

It turns out that I am developing a report in Birt from eclipse and one of the user requirements was to be displayed in HTML and from there to see some graphs and pressing a button to enter a short analysis! The problem comes in to develop Javascript button click and give input appears to fill with data and sends them to a text that places previously in the report, but it turns out when trying to pass from the Html Viewer with full text to PDF nothing appears and I think that is because it actually modified Html but only add the text virtually any property in JavaScript there to help me with the problem or solution? The intro text is using the following script:

<script type="text/javascript">
value1 function () {
name = prompt ("Description", "Enter ...");
document.getElementById ("MyTextBox"). innerHTML = name;
}
</ script>
<input type="button" onclick="valor1()" value="Ingresar comentario">

Very grateful in advance best regards,

You are correct. Since you are modifying the report with client side
script the PDF will not have access to this information. You may want
to add a servlet that writes the data somewhere (db?) and regenerate the
report in PDF. The report would have to then read the comment data from
the db and embed it in the pdf.

Thanks for the reply,
Really do not need to send the information to a DB, all i need is in the HTML report to give to the button click can be entered only analysis and can generate the PDF there any way to do so or is there any way to send that text to a variable and update the report and with that text?
thanks

I do not know of a way of doing this without some server side code.
