Jack ,

Thanks a lot for the reply .

My work will invlove lot of BIRT scripting . I was going through the Help content of my birtdesigner installed , but could not get much information .

I just want to have basic scripting features that birt povides .
Various birt scripting functions which help us in identifying a particualr column or table , content or row of the report document .

Basically i am looking for something which can provide me a knowledge on various BIRT functions to be used through either Java coding or javascripting so that i can make use of the content of report.

Thanks

hi ,

As per my knowledge there is no special book for birt scripting.You can go for another book "BIRT: INTEGRATING AND EXTENDING BIRT".
Also there is a link which would be helpful .

Hi ,

I was going through various scripting reports posted on birtexchange devshare .

The three below lines were used in one of the report scripting . It uses getElementById , document.getElementById to fetch data . I just need to know what all simmilar kind of properties are present which helps us in scripting .

document.getElementById("tblheader").style.display="";
var mytbl = document.getElementById("mytable");
var trs = mytbl.getElementsByTagName("tr");

Thanks
Priya
