HTML page streaming enables you to display individual pages of your HTML or HTMLCSS 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.
You can specify the navigation controls script for a report in either of the following ways:
in the Report Property Inspector with the Page Navigation Control Type and Page Navigation Control Value properties
with PL/SQL (SRW.SET_PAGE_NAVIGATION_HTML in a Before Report trigger)
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)
myreportb.htm (for the bookmark file, present only if bookmarks are used in the HTML files)
myreport_1.htm through myreport_n.htm (for the pages)
myreportj.htm (for the navigation JavaScript)
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 PL/SQL 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 PL/SQL procedure. The Reports Builder-generated HTML logo appears only on the last page of your report.
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 nondefault be set through the Reports Builder user interface.
