I have birt integrated into my application, however there are several problems occuring that are not allowing me to use it in my application. Here is how i have the viewer called in the JSP:<br />
<birt:viewer<br />
id="noShow"<br />
pattern="run"<br />
reportDesign="smallChart.rptdesign"<br />
isHostPage="false"<br />
height="230"<br />
width="380"<br />
style="display:none"<br />
format="html"><br />
</birt:viewer><br />
<birt:viewer<br />
id="trowback"<br />
pattern="run"<br />
reportDesign="smallChart.rptdesign"<br />
isHostPage="false"<br />
height="230"<br />
width="380"<br />
format="html"><br />
</birt:viewer><br />
<br />
i originally only had one call of the birt viewer, however, if i only call one instance of the viewer it will not show up at all. So i had to call 2 viewers, and then simply hide the first one, and that somehow, someway made the 2nd viewer work.<br />
<br />
Another error is that the viewer only shows up the first time i run my application, as soon as i go in to edit code and recompile birt ceases to work from there on out unless i restart my entire server.<br />
<br />
It never displayed any form of an error anywhere in my eclipse, so i used the f12 debug function on my IE8 and the following was displayed:<br />
<br />
Here is what i can see:<br />
<div id="params_noShow" style='display:none'><br />
</div><br />
<form id="form_noShow" method="post"></form><br />
<script type="text/javascript"><br />
function loadViewernoShow(){<br />
var formObj = document.getElementById( "form_noShow" );<br />
var paramContainer = document.getElementById("params_noShow");<br />
var oParams = paramContainer.getElementsByTagName('input');<br />
if( oParams )<br />
{<br />
for( var i=0;i<oParams.length;i++ ) <br />
{<br />
var param = document.createElement( "INPUT" );<br />
param.type = "HIDDEN";<br />
param.name= oParams
.name;<br />
param.value= oParams.value;<br />
formObj.appendChild( param );<br />
}<br />
}<br />
formObj.action = "/inrhodes/run?__report=smallChart.rptdesign&__masterpage=true&__format=html";<br />
formObj.target = "noShow";<br />
formObj.submit( );<br />
}<br />
<br />
the final line (formObj.submit();).... causes the following error:<br />
"Object doesn't support this property or method"<br />
<br />
this is a major problem because obviously my graph doesnt show up, but then even on top of that it causes my javascript to bomb out and the remainer of the javascript on my page stops working as well.<br />
<br />
is this something you may have seen before? any help would be great, thanks!
