Here is an example that uses page scripts to do this. Run and Rendering
have to be separate, like using the frameset servlet mapping in the viewer.

Did you try using a text element with this expression:
<VIEWTIME-VALUE-OF>vars["PAGE_VAR1"]</VIEWTIME-VALUE-OF>
Set its type to html.

Aleksey,
Move your on create script to the on page break of the data item that
holds the group value. See modified attached example. Also read over
this section to see the order. Oncreate may actually fire for an item
that does not appear on the page.
