Question

Hiding the quick base nav ui when embedding report/view

Forum|alt.badge.img+8
I have embedded a qbase report/table view within a website and I'm hiding the qbase nav ui by adding "ifv=1" to the end of my embedded report URL.....this works great...until......a user tries to sort a column...this action reloads the report and removes the "ifv=1" -- thus showing the qbase nav ui. 

Is it possible to overcome this....so that when a user sorts on the report....that the qbase nav stays hidden?

thanks for any help or advice

    You will most likely need to use the BOL (Branding On Load) technique if you permanently wish to hide the UI.  There are several tutorials on the forum on how to implement, if desired.

    QB uses the url to control the page, so any modifications will always reveal the header UI.

    I think the user wants to embed a table report into an external website without the QuickBase chrome (using the parameter &ifv) and have the column sorting feature not break out of the chromelsss report.

    You can do this using the IOL technique by redefining QuickBase's BuildURLroot function that generates the URL used to display the sorted column report:
    function BuildURLroot(table, action, options) {
        table.qbDBID || (table.qbDBID = GetHTMLattribute(table, "qbDBID"), table.qbQID = GetHTMLattribute(table, "qbQID"));
        var url = table.qbDBID + "?a=" + action + "&qid=" + table.qbQID + "&ifv=1";
        return 0 != (options & kOpt_WithATUparams) && table.qbATUparams && (url += table.qbATUparams), url
    }
    Here is a demo including embedded the report into an external website (jsfiddle.net):
