Can you call a Web Report from jquey in another WR like you can with request handlers?

Eric_Hohnbaum

I've used jquery within web reports to call an existing request handler and the callback has the output.  I'd like to do that using a Web Report as the url instead of a request handler but so far have not been able to get it to work.  

I have a simple web report that returns json formatted data and would like to be able to call it via but the callback is not happening.  I've tried the url in a browser tab and it works.: 

        var url = "http://dev-server/otcs/cs.exe?func=ll&objid=154463&objAction=RunReport"
        $.getJSON( url, {}, function(data,textStatus){
            try {
                if (data != undefined) {
                    $('#output1').val(results);
                }
                else {
                    $('#output1').val('no results found');
                }
            }
            catch (e) {
                alert('error testing json WR: '+e.message);
            }
        });

Have you tried using the subwebreport tag?  It has been a while but I thought you could do something like "var x = [subwebreport tag /]" and then work with x as you normally would.  The tag should be rendered when the java script loads not when it is executed.  If you want to render it at execution time (because you need some parameter for instance) then there is JS you can call (see "AJAX function reference" in "WebReports Advanced Information" help pages).
