  • 1.  Malformed HTML Error

    Posted 10/07/21 11:22 AM
    We recently upgraded from Cognos BI 10.2 I think it was to Cognos Analytics 11.1.7 FP2 IF005

    The reports were tested in the Test environment with the same version of software installed.

    The reports were moved to the Production environment. However, from one report we are getting the error 

     
     HTML report output is not well formed. If your report uses "HTML Item" elements ensure that they result in well-formed HTML.

Reason:AttValue: " or ' expected

URL:null
Line:277
Character:84
Source:
This page contains the following errors:error on line 277 at column 84: AttValue: " or ' expected
Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.


    As far as I can see this error is coming from the prompt page on this report. This only has two HTML Items, and both of these are well formed and all double and single quotes are matching.

    Does anyone have any clues as to what might be causing this error?

    Does anyone know how to look at Line 277 character 84? This may be a basic question to you but we are Planning Analytics developers not Cognos Analytics developers. it is not clear as to whether this line number refers to the Report Specification in XML or the generated HTML, etc. In older browsers there was an option to view page source but Chrome that is not quite so easy.

    Regards

    Hi Paul,

    Would you be able to share this report specification or at least the 2 HTML items?

    Best regards,

    Hi Patrick

    The relevant part of the report spec is given below. Unfortunately it contains a fair amount of custom code written by an external consultancy and I have had to change their name to XXXXXXX for privacy reasons. Now that I look there are actually 4 HTMLItems but all are similar.

    <HTMLItem description="XXXXXXXX Close Function (No parameters)" name="XXXXXXXX_close_button8">
				<dataSource>
					<staticValue>&lt;!-- 
	- XXXXXXXX 2013
	- Cognos Integrated Navigation API
	- Close Function
	--&gt;

	&lt;div onclick='window.close();' style="cursor:hand" alt="Close this screen." height=60 width=100&gt;</staticValue>
				</dataSource>
</HTMLItem>
		
				<textItem><dataSource><staticValue>X</staticValue></dataSource></textItem>
				
<HTMLItem description="End Link" name="XXXXXXXX_9">
					<dataSource>
						<staticValue>&lt;!-- 
		- XXXXXXXX 2013
		- Cognos Integrated Navigation API
		- Close Function
		--&gt;

		&lt;/div&gt;</staticValue>
					</dataSource>
</HTMLItem>

    Hi Patrick

    Sorry I did paste this into a code block and was expecting it to retain the indentation but it doesn't seem to have done that.

    Regards

    Paul

    Do a find replace "&" to "&amp;", without the quotes.

    Hi Paul,
    is your report running with full interactivity? If yes: my latest knowledge is that you cannot combine HTML items with full interactivity. You can only use one of the features.

    I've also noticed that when you "transfer" a report by using the clipboard, this settings is not part of the xml. The new report will have this setting set to "Yes". Can you check this?

    Hi Robert

    Many thanks. I set Run with full interactivity back to No and now the report works. 

    The issue you have mentioned explains why the report worked in the Test environment but not the Production environment.

    Regards

    Full interactivity works fine with HTML items with a few caveats. The script tag automatically throws an error, Cognos simply won't let you embed scripts in HTML items any more. You have to use custom controls. Second the parser is extremely strict. In this case you're probably getting the error because the attributes in the HTML items aren't wrapped in quotes correctly

    change:
    <div onclick='window.close();' style="cursor:hand" alt="Close this screen." height=60 width=100>

    to
    <div onclick='window.close();' style="cursor:hand" alt="Close this screen." height="60" width="100">

    Hi Paul

    Thanks for that, putting quotes around the width and height numbers allows the report to run with full interactivity set to Yes
