View html output in drill downs charts

[putteringpluie]

I'm using the code given in this example to create drill down charts: https://v8doc.sas.com/sashtml/gref/z1025699.htm.

I'm using the path to my home folder in the linux server to output all the html files, i.e., the first line for me is 

filename odsout '/home/username/';

 When I click on the 'Company Sales' graph for the central region, I just get the error "Unable to locate the hyperlink. central.html". I was expecting it to open the central.html file that is sitting on my home folder. 

 I see that all the html files are getting generated in my home folder on the SAS Linux server. EG is running on a Citrix machine. How do I make EG find the html files? 

SAS EG Version: 7.1

That's a really, really old reference (2 decades maybe).

Try changing HTML to HTML5 and see if you get the desired behaviour.

The issue here is HTML isn't a single file, its a text file that has links and references to other files and images. So when you have that file, you need to know where the other items are. You can control that on the ODS statement using the PATH option.

Alternatively HTML5 embeds all the images and references into a single file which makes it easier to share.

I think this is a newer version of what you're trying to do:

Thank you the reply. Changing to ods html5 did not change the result. 

The example code in the newer link is also giving me trouble. For example, I only see a blank page in the results tab in EG and the regsales.html and salesreport.html files are not showing up at all in the 'Results - HTML' tab in EG. Any ideas?

Show the full code you ran and the log please.

Please find attached the sas log and the screenshot of the results. I don't see any error in the logs.

I can't test your code if you don't post it.

Sorry, its the same code that was given in your link. I just changed the filename gout to point to my home folder in linux.  

filename gout "/home/username/";

data regsales(drop=drillurl imgurl);
   length Region State $8 drillurl imgurl $50 htmlstr $256;
   format Sales dollar8.;
   input Region State Sales drillurl imgurl;

   /* Create and add the HTML variable for each observation. */
   htmlstr="href="||quote(trim(drillurl))||
      " title="||quote(trim(Region)||" Region") ||
      " ONMOUSEOVER=ShowImage("||quote(trim(imgurl))||
      ",400,25,200,200); changeOpacity(.5)";

Doesn't look like you've changed it to HTML5....
