I am generating a report using FEX with hyperlinks. I would like to highlight the hyperlinks when the user clicked it. This will help them not to revisit the same links again. Is there a way to achieve this

[Martin Yergeau]

AFAIK this will not be possible because once you have generated the report it is generated and to have the hyperlink changed (new color), you will need to generates another report.

A generated report is not like an HTML page where you can test the hover or click properties and then perform action accordingly.

If the hyper links are unique, then yes agree with Martin.

If they have no rnd parm or the like, then perhaps its a CSS issue.

Is your report format HTML, and are you using StyleSheet Linking

If so, maybe try CSS to color the unvisited and visited links

TABLE FILE GGSALES

HEADING

"Sales Report"

SUM DOLLARS/I08M

BY REGION

BY ST

BY STCD

ON STCD SUBFOOT

"View Store <STCD Sales By Product"

ON REGION PAGE-BREAK

ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT HTML

-*

ON TABLE SET STYLE *

INCLUDE = IBFS:/EDA/EDASERVE/_EDAHOME/ETC/jellybean_combo.sty, $

TYPE=SUBFOOT, LINE=1, OBJECT=TEXT, ITEM=2,

FOCEXEC=PRDSALES.fex(STOREID=STCD), $

ENDSTYLE

END

-RUN

-HTMLFORM BEGIN

<style>

/* unvisited link */

a:link {

color: BLUE !important;

}

/* visited link */

a:visited {

color: PURPLE !important;

}

</style>

-HTMLFORM END

 

Before the first link is clicked:

 

After the first link is clicked:

Nice David

The isssue that I see is that once you have clicked the link then close both reports (parent & child) and reopen the parent, the previously clicked link is displayed as Purple.

And the color change doesnt seems to always work.

I tried it with a drill down menu items and it doesnt work.

Thank you David. Your solution worked for my case.
