[sushil353]

Hi All,

I am new to this functionality of qlikview. i have a function to call a webpage using post method. but how do i call it using a button in my qlikview dashboard as it is written in javascript and edit module of qlikview is not supporting javascripts.

Please help me out to solve this issue. i have not provided the url in action due to security reasons..

   function callCND(){

                  var myForm = document.createElement("form");

                  myForm.setAttribute("action", "http://xyz");

                  myForm.setAttribute("method", "POST");

                  myForm.setAttribute("target", "_blank");

                  var myunitrpt = document.createElement("input") ;

                  var myexid = document.createElement("input");

                  myunitrpt.setAttribute("name", "UNITRPT") ;

                  myunitrpt.setAttribute("value","history");

                  myForm.appendChild(myunitrpt) ;

                  myexid.setAttribute("name", "EX_ID") ;

                  myexid.setAttribute("value","1093981623");

                  myForm.appendChild(myexid) ;

                  document.body.appendChild(myForm) ;

                  myForm.submit() ;

  document.body.removeChild(myForm) ;

}

Hi Sushil,

I agree that Alexander's suggestion is best. If you want to POST and then display the output, an Extension is the way to go.

Hi I'm Velu very new to QlikView please any one tell me how to develop a dashboards in web browser using java(jsp)

please help i tried but couldn't .in some manuals mentioned QlikView Java client how to use that..

The java client is no longer supported.

Any Qlikview dashboard can be displayed in a browser -- by using Qlikview Server -- without additional coding.

It is possible to call a JavaScript function from a QlikView Button by following these steps:

1. Create a button and choose Actions - External - Open URL
2. Enter your JavaScript function in the format = 'javascript: functionname(parameters); true()'.
3. Check the box 'Open in same window'
4. See attached for an example of launching a JavaScript popup.

Note that this will only work for javascript functions and not for user defined functions.
