report viewer - Use Javascript selector instead of JQuery selector

[Bharat]

In the html5 report viewer, we are using a jquery selector

 $("reportViewer").telerik_ReportViewer({...});

But what if we want to use vanila javascript selector for it like,

 document.getElementById("reportViewer").telerik_ReportViewer({...});

but when I am using this it is showing me an error: Uncaught TypeError: reportViewer1.telerik_ReportViewer is not a function

Hello Bharat,

The HTML5 Report Viewer is a pure HTML5/JavaScript/CSS3 jQuery-based widget and in its implementation uses jQuery objects. For example, telerik_ReportViewer, telerik_ReportViewer_SendEmail, telerik_ReportViewer_PagesArea, telerik_ReportViewer_DocumentMapArea, telerik_ReportViewer_ParametersArea etc.

You could write your custom vanilla JavaScript logic in telerikReportViewer-<VERSION>.js for the viewer in order to use the document.getElementById selector.
