KB40138: How to execute JavaScript from a Report Services Document in MicroStrategy Web 9.x and later.

It is possible to execute a JavaScript function from a Report Services Document.
Prior Strategy 9.0 the HTML container functionality was not available (please refer to KB30198 for information about HTML containers). This technical note describes how to invoke and execute any JavaScript function from a regular hyperlink within a Report Services Document.
You will need to follow these steps:

• Inside the Report Services Document insert a text field (or an object which allow you to establish a link like an image)
• Within text field’s ‘Navigation->Hyperlink’ properties insert the javascript call function as follows
  

  
  javascript:<my_funtion>('/MicroStrategy/<path>/<page_where_myfunction_is.aspx>',
  '<myfunction_parameters>');
  

  
  
  For example if you want to invoke in a new window an aspx page called ‘ChangeDateRange’ the syntax would be
  

  
  javascript:openWindow('/MicroStrategy/_custom/asp/ChangeDateRange.aspx?documentID=CDBD4CC7487138B4ABD18BBCB5FC6FEF','getNewDatel', 175, 220);

  
   
  Note: Replace : to :
  
• You will need to modify Strategy’s Web security in order to enable javascript functions execution. Enter to Web’s Administrator page.
   
• Check the property ‘Allow javascript execution for Report Services Documents Hyperlinks’ under Security->User Input Filtering
  
  

• You will now be able to click on the Report Services' text (or image) and invoke the javascript function
