open url in javascript of text element?

Arif shah

<p>Hi,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I want to open a report through a text item using some javascript. I have the following two question</p>
<p> </p>
<p>1) How do we access a parameter value in text item javascript code?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>2) How do we open a url using the javascript code.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have written the following code but it does not seem to work</p>
<pre class="_prettyXprint">
<script>
    function opentab()
    {
        if (<VALUE-OF>params["Category"]</VALUE-OF> == 'Part1')
        {
            
            window.open("https://localhost:8443/Datavis/frameset?__report=Crime%20Main.rptdesign&sample=my+parameter","_self")
        
        }
    }
</script>

<button type="button"
style="width: 150px; height: 30px; color: #5a698b;  font: bold 12px Arial;
padding-top: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px; background: #ddddff; text-align: center;"
onclick=" opentab()";">Overview
</button></pre>
<p>If someone can also suggest a better solution, that will be even better</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks</p>

<p>At first glace everything looks ok to me, if you use alert() to view the contents of your parameter are you seeing the correct value?</p>
