Javascript report action

[Clinton Smyth]

Hi

We're adding interactive functionality to our reports and would like to run a javascript function when an item is clicked on. Is this possible?

We've been reviewing report actions and can add a URL link (http://docs.telerik.com/reporting/designing-reports-interactivity-how-to-add-hyperlink) but a much improved user experience can be implemented with a javascript function.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks

Just figured it out!

Create a 'Navigate to URL' action and add the following URL:

= Format("javascript:openDetailsWindow(""{0}"")", Fields.CostCode)

The trick was escaping the parameter quotes properly!

Hi Clinton,

The applied solution is a hack that we do not recommend. The HTML rendering is updated and actions are not rendered as anchor tags, but as 'data-reporting-action' attributes which are handled by the viewer. Still our development team will investigate further the scenario due to security concerns.

Please elaborate on the functionality you need on navigating to an external URL. Note that the target page can include the desired scripts that will be executed on loading the page.
