rsInvalidItemPath Error and Jump to URL Issues

I am having a navigation issue with jump to URLs in reports. When I have a report that supports drilldown if I click the drill down then click a Jump To URL to render the next report I get a second toolbar. If the drill down was never clicked the jump to works fine.

My workaround was to try and create a javascript url to reset the url for the top frame. However, the same url that was working before is now throwing an rsInvalidItemPath error. Any thoughts?

Here is my original Jump To URL expression that was causing the second toolbar to appear on drill down:

=Globals!ReportServerUrl + "?/Early Life/Early Life Technician Summary QA&pDate=" + Parameters!pDate.Value.ToString().Replace("&", "%26") + "&pArea=" + Fields!Measures_AreaUniqueName.Value.ToString().Replace("&", "%26") + "&rs:Command=Render&rs:Format=HTML4.0&rc:Toolbar=true"

Renders as:
http://ilschd-sitdev01/ReportServer?/Early%20Life/Early%20Life%20Technician%20Summary%20QA&pDate=%5BOrder%20Finalized%20Date%5D.%5BFiscal%5D.%5BMonth%5D.%5BDecember,%202005%5D&pArea=%5BArea%5D.%5BOffices%5D.%5BArea%5D.%26%5BChicago%20North%5D&rs:Command=Render&rs:Format=HTML4.0&rc:Toolbar=true

I changed the Jump to URL expression to the following to try and fix the toolbar issue:

=top.location.href='" + Globals!ReportServerUrl + "?/Early Life/Early Life Technician Summary QA&pDate=" + Parameters!pDate.Value.ToString().Replace("&", "%26") + "&pArea=" + Fields!Measures_AreaUniqueName.Value.ToString().Replace("&", "%26") + "&rs:Command=Render&rs:Format=HTML4.0&rc:Toolbar=true" + "'"

Renders as:
BLOCKED SCRIPTtop.location.href='http://ilschd-sitdev01/ReportServer?/Early%20Life/Early%20Life%20Technician%20Summary%20QA&pDate=%5BOrder%20Finalized%20Date%5D.%5BFiscal%5D.%5BMonth%5D.%5BDecember,%202005%5D&pArea=%5BArea%5D.%5BOffices%5D.%5BArea%5D.%26%5BChicago%20North%5D&rs:Command=Render&rs:Format=HTML4.0&rc:Toolbar=true'

This version of Jump to URL causing the rsInvalidPath Exception to be thrown.

Did you get this problem fixed, Adam? I have a similar problem it sounds like where I have a record containing an "&" but SRS is trying to read it as two parameters instead of one, so I get the same 260 characters long error.|||

You can use POST instead of GET i.e. using a HTML form with hidden fields rather than building up a URL string. This should get you around the 260 character limit.

RS2005: Navigation to NEW Browser Window

Hello,
we want a new browser window to open if we click on a report element with a
hyperlink-action. A second report should be displayed in the new browser
window at the same time. Is this possible?
Regards,
RalphIn the field you want to link, go to the action property. Select jump
to URL and enter an expression like the following:
="javascript:void(window.open('http://www.google.com','_blank'))"
Where the http://www.google.com is where you should put the link to
your report. If you have parameters, you will have to modify the query
string to include the parameters & their values (by programatically
concatenating them).
If you do a search through these forums for "javascript new window"
(without quotes) you should get many samples on how to accomplish some
of this.
Good Luck.
Regards,
Dan
