2.8.8.1 About HTML page streaming

HTML page streaming enables you to display individual pages of your HTMLHTMLCSS report output in your Web browser, without having to download the entire report. From the first page of the report, you can navigate to any page in the rest of the report. When you click a bookmark or hyperlink with a destination: ■ within the report, the frame that contains the current page will update with the destination page. ■ outside the report, the entire base frame including the bookmark frame, the page, and the navigation frame will reload. Navigation controls You can specify the navigation controls script for a report in either of the following ways: ■ with PLSQL SRW.SET_PAGE_NAVIGATION_HTML in a Before Report trigger ■ in the Report Property Inspector with the Page Navigation Control Type and Page Navigation Control Value properties Output file names With HTML page streaming, each page is formatted as a separate HTML document. If your HTML file is named myreport.htm and there are no bookmarks, the new files are named as follows: ■ myreport.htm for the base frame ■ myreportnumber.htm for the bookmark file, present only if bookmarks are used in the HTML files ■ myreportnumber_1.htm through myreportnumber_n.htm for the pages ■ myreportnumberj.htm for the navigation JavaScript Scope of HTML output To specify HTML to be displayed on only the first header or last footer pages of your report, set the Before Report or After Report properties or use the SRW.SET_ BEFORE_REPORT_HTML or SRW.SET_AFTER_REPORT_HTML PLSQL procedures. To specify global HTML to apply to the entire report, such as background colors or images, set the Before Page properties or SRW.SET_BEFORE_PAGE_HTML PLSQL procedure. The Oracle Reports Builder-generated HTML logo appears only on the last page of your report. Enabling page-streamed output To enable page streaming when you format your report as HTML or HTMLCSS output, you must specify PAGESTREAM=YES on the command line. This option cannot be set using the Oracle Reports Builder user interface. 2-66 Oracle Reports Users Guide to Building Reports See also Section 4.7.16.5, Displaying individual pages of HTML report output Section 4.6.10.1.12, Adding navigation controls for HTML page-streamed output using the Property Inspector Section 4.6.10.2.11, Adding navigation controls for HTML page-streamed output using PLSQL
