Please help

Hi,
How can i use a java script function in sql reporting services.
I have a textbox - which i want to make as a hyperlink and when the user
clicks on it - it has to open another report or say url in another browser.
i am usin
<hyperlink>="javascript:window.open('http://www.google.com',_blank)"</hyperlink>
but it doesnt work . Can you please help me how to do this ?
Thanks
RPDon't be doing this by hand. Use RS capabilities. For the textbox do a right
mouse click, properties, advanced, navigation, jump to URL.
Then put in this for a report with parameters:
Here is an example of a Jump to URL link I use. This causes Excel to come up
with the data in a separate window:
="javascript:void(window.open('" & Globals!ReportServerUrl &
"?/SomeFolder/SomeReport&ParamName=" & Parameters!ParamName.Value &
"&rs:Format=CSV&rc:Encoding=ASCII','_blank'))"
For a website put in this:
="javascript:void(window.open('http://www.google.com','_blank'))"
Note that you have to have SP1 or SP2 installed. This functionality was
added in SP1.

I didnt do this by hand. I rt clicked on the textbox, properties - advanced
- navigation
jump to url.
The funny thing is :
if i give the
="javascript:void(window.open('http://www.google.com','_blank'))"
and click on the link, i get 'page cannont be displayed' with
"javascript:void(window.open('http://www.google.com','_blank'))"
in the url.
click on that - will open a new window.
2. if i access the report from localhost\reports\reportname - this is the
situation
but if i access the report from localhost\reportserver\reportname - it works
absolutely fine.
what is the diff. between reports and reportserver ?
Thanks

It works regardless of how the report is pulled up (I did it both ways:
reports and reportserver).
Don't know what to tell you, it works for me (I am on SP2).
