I'm using cognos report studio and I came to an error on my prompt page. I got my coding to work right(I tested it on a blank page), but I noticed theres a yellow explanation point on the bottom left, which doesn't allow me to continue what I'm trying to do.
Here is a screenshot:
The error seems to be coming from my html tag in the prompt page.
Here is my coding:
<script type="text/javascript">
var theSpan = document.getElementById("FiscalYear");
var theSelect = theSpan.getElementsByTagName("select");
theSelect[0].options[2].selected=true; //This will make default value in prompt to be the first item after line, change the value '2' for other item
theSelect[0].options[0].text = 'Fiscal Year';
listBoxBusinessDate.checkData();
</script>
My error should be coming from there, I just can't figure out why. Any ideas on what it could be? Thanks.
This is a JavaScript error. The variable you are trying to use "listBoxBusinessDate" is null / undefined, so when you try to call a method on it (.checkData()), you get this error.
Where is this variable defined (its not in the snippet you provided, but could be defined earlier in the file)...?
