Link format as html vs. no format in Link

snowak17

Hi all,

Following Setup:
Actuate Java Component (BIRT Viewer) v10 SP1 at tomcat 5.5

Simple report contains two hyperlinks:

- Link to same report with no format set --> works
- Link to same report with html set as format -->
does not work, at least does not show in browser. instead it opens a download dialog
which enables me to download a file without file extension (this is the reason why it prompts download window at all), which is
the correct rendered html report including all css and standard javascript. I then only could open it offline. This makes it difficult for end users that all hyperlink drill-throughs are requiring the end user to download the file and then open it.


- running the report with the frameset servlet works without problems but does not include all the styles and standard javascripts

When I go into Print function and select HTML, it brings up a blank page and also offers this download box as above.

It all would not be such a drama, but all the css styles and embeded javascripts are also not rendered. The standard html link formatting just
never looks nice on reports, so we did try to implement our own and further have mouse over effects on table cells, which switch background
color on mouseover.

Thanks for any help and advice in advance!

Hi,

do you have any idea what could be potential error sources why opening a report formatted as html does not work? Which are potential sources of error for this?

It does not seem to be a permissioning problem as frameset servlet works without any problem, but run servlet does not work at all and only gives me this odd popup for downloading an html file which has no extension and thus does not get displayed in IE7.

Any advice would be very appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
