I guess the idea is to force the page assembler to process the comment, which is inside the tag we wanted preserved.<br />As always, thanks a bunch for your help!

But when I look at the source, I don't see my iframe tag within the html source. It looks like the page processor strips the iframe tag. Have you ever noticed that. I even tried enclosing it within div tags and it still strips it. How do I work around this limitation<br /><br />-SatishSatishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00425760500262314159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34020393.post-67232553127464814632011-02-09T13:44:11.719-08:002011-02-09T13:44:11.719-08:00@Dileep, I think the easiest way to do this is to ...@Dileep, I think the easiest way to do this is to create a JavaScript that calls an iScript and passes the page, component, etc, to the iScript. The iScript will run as the user, so you will have %OperatorId, etc.<br /><br />As far as injecting the script into all PeopleSoft pages, I recommend using my custom scripts module documented in chapters 6 through 8 of my PeopleTools Tips and Techniques book. Basically, you inject the iScript call from PT_COPYURL. The code in my book includes JavaScript functions/methods for parsing the menu, market, component, and page name from strCurrUrl.Jim Marionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12995110203807924786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34020393.post-7470783359936172522011-02-09T10:31:52.107-08:002011-02-09T10:31:52.107-08:00Jim,

Got a quest...Jim,<br /><br />Very informative blog you have.<br /><br />Got a question...I need to record the number of page hits of a particular read-only PeopleSoft page.

I thought ...@Mark, thank you for the clarification. I thought it was Tidy, but wasn't certain :). Using &nbsp; is another good option. The difference between an HTML comment and a non breaking space is that &nbsp; adds another node to the DOM tree. If it is hidden and you plan to replace the contents anyway, it doesn't matter. If you are planning to append to the contents of the container (div), then it might matter.Jim Marionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12995110203807924786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34020393.post-59447140350244216542010-03-08T21:52:38.528-08:002010-03-08T21:52:38.528-08:00Jim,

It's actually tidy that is stripping the empty elements during the page assembly process.<br /><br />MarkUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11107162255892355605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34020393.post-71295137818939316132010-02-22T12:03:14.289-08:002010-02-22T12:03:14.289-08:00Thank you Duncan for confirming your experience wi...Thank you Duncan for confirming your experience with this.
