Found some code in one of my old CDML web files that I can't figure out. Was wondering if anyone would know what this is?

<a href="javascript:openReport('browser=Safari&browservernum=1&sid=SG636222&uid=63.xxx.xxx.145361&qid=Q6&name=&language=')">

Of course the part that is uid= is a IP address that I have swapped out xxx with. I am not sure what this type of javascript might do?

This might already be obvious to you, but it's pointing to a JavaScript function called openReport() and supplying it with one long argument. In order to work out what it actually does, you need to refer to the function itself and check what the code does with its argument. It'll either be in the <head> section of the document, or in an included file listed in the head section. Without that it's impossible to know for sure ...

... at a guess though, I'd say that it's formatting a CDML query whose results open in a pop-up window. Things like -db=, -format= etc are probably assembled from variables in the function itself.

Cheers,

Kevin
