Parameter Dialog HTML Template
The 'Parameter Dialog HTML Template' field specifies an HTML template file (as a resource) to be used for the default parameter prompting screen. The template can contain regular HTML as well as three optional tags, $(report.parameters), $(report.title), and $(report.description). These tags correspond, respectively, to the report parameter fields, report title, and report description. When the report prompts the user for parameters, it will load this HTML template and substitute the appropriate values for the tags.
A sample HTML template file is shown below:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
</head>
<body>
<img id='Logo' src='http://chart.inetsoft.com/images/inetsoft.png'>
<p>Please enter the parameters for $(report.title):</p>
<div class='ParameterBlock'>
$(report.parameters)
</div>
</body>
</html>
If you save this HTML template file with the name 'ParamTemplate.html' in the SREE Home directory (WEB-INF/classes), you can enter the resource path in the 'Parameter Dialog HTML Template' field as follows: “/ParamTemplate.html”.

Style can be added to the parameter screen by specifying an external CSS file in the 'Parameter Dialog CSS File' field. See Parameter Dialog CSS File for more details.
