One hyperlink, but with multiple entries / multiple targets

Of course we can create hyperlinks with one target.

But let’s look at the following scenario:
I have 3 detail reports, which I can acess via hyperlink from a master report (all hyperlinks using the famous openDocument.jsp).

Now, in the master report (=Webi doc) I have one column, Customer Number. When I click on Customer Nnmber a small pop-up window should showsup offering me to jump to Target Report 1, Target Report 2, or Target Report 3.

How can I do that, please?

That’s one among the typical issues of vanilla openDocument.

Having it solved should involve additional jscript functions, that you can inject within the webi report. This is can be achieved with a tag included in a free standing cell, preferably placed in the header section, so to have it repeated on every page.
This allows you to have your floating window available. I don’t know whether you already have such a widget already available, but there are aplenty around internet (e.g.: http://www.webdesign.org/web-programming/javascript/creating-a-floating-window.10895.html
or jquery’s remarkable http://docs.jquery.com/UI/API/1.7/Dialog#overview)

Other solutions: this is a blog, and we are not supposed to advertise, but you might find useful taking a look to DL’s RLS (www.delta-lambda.com).

Hi Joe,

I have a similar requirement for a tooltip to be displayed to click on the hyperlinks.
Can you please help me in explaining the code given by you.

Thanks
