Has anyone figured out a way to add a custom dropdown menu (similar to the Help menu) to the OBIEE 11g global header?
I can add additional links to the global header by modifying customlinks.xml. It turns out that the src attribute can be set to JavaScript, as in:
<link id="testLink" name="<i>Test</i>" description="Test JavaScript" src="javascript:alert('Test')" vpat="true" target="self" >
<locations>
<location name="header" insertBefore="help" />
</locations>
</link>
So, theoretically, I might be able to add a link that is actually a JavaScript dropdown menu. What I have not worked out is:
- How do I include the JavaScript code and the list of menu items? Best I can think is to replace the div with some code from elsewhere.
- How do I make my menu look the same as the other dropdown menus in the global header?
Help????
