[SOLVED]Rotating Text in WebFOCUS 7.7.04

We have text that is rotated vertically using the following define:
PROGRAM_AREA_DESC_FLIP/A70 = '
' | PROGRAM_AREA_DESC | '
';

This has been working in 7.6 -- In our test environment in 7.7 the define itself is printing and not the values in rotated form. Does anyone have a suggestion how to do this in HTML? I have tried to put rotate in a cascading style sheet, calling in the style sheet and then adding CLASS=rotate and that did not seem to work.

Thanks,

PROGRAM_AREA_DESC_FLIP/A70 = '(open caret)div STYLE="writing-mode: tb-rl;filter: flipv fliph;">' | PROGRAM_AREA_DESC | '';

Just noticed that the define rotated the text in the display.

The request -- Table file xx
PRINT FLD1
ACROSS PROGRAM_AREA_DESC_FLIP
....

Vivian, use the code tags to put code in the post.

PROGRAM_AREA_DESC_FLIP/A100 = '<div STYLE="writing-mode: tb-rl;filter: flipv fliph;">' | LC1 | '</DIV>';

This seems to work in 7.7.03.

TABLE FILE CAR

          COMPUTE PROGRAM_AREA_DESC_FLIP/A100 = '<div STYLE="writing-mode: tb-rl;filter: flipv fliph;">' | MODEL | '</DIV>';

I am going to pass this to the testing team. I myself do not have access to test -- the server version is 7.7.04 -- I wonder if that is making a difference. Will keep you posted and thanks.

We just tried your code and it does NOT work. Our set up is that Dev Studio is on 7.7.03 and the server is on 7.7.04.

The result of running the code just produces the words in the compute -- does not rotate the text or even give the column titles.

Do you have access to 7.7.04 server?

Thanks again for your help.

Just tried it using 7.7.04 server and it runs fine.

Unfortunately I only have IE6 and it's on XP but that shouldn't matter too much (famous last words!).

I have tried in on Win 7 / WF 7.7.03 / IE9 and it worked fine.

Have you used IE developer tools to look at the HTML and CSS generated?

I pass your info on to the test team -- I am just wondering if it is the EXACT combination of 7.7.04 - IE9 and Windows 7 ---

Hopefully they will be able to view the source code and see what the problem is -- In the mean time, if someone in the IBI community has access to the exact combination of WebFOCUS and Windows and IE and could run the simple car file test, that would be great ---

Thanks

I just checked with the testers - This is our exact combination:

Windows 7
IE 9
WF Client - 7.7.094
WF Dev Studio 7.7.03

We really need this to work -- We have it in several programs .... so it looks like it needs to be tested on that exact combination -- In the maean time, we are doing a view source to try to identify the problem.

WIN7, IE9, WF7.7.04 report output:


...View Source HTML for the WF7.7.04 report output. The less-than signs (<) are showing in hex [<):

And this just in from the testers:

Did this for 7.6 & 7.7 and the 7.7 View Source shows hex for the < and > symbols. 7.6.11 shows the symbols

If you can tell me how to paste a captured output, I can paste that also - or if you have an email address, I could forward the output ---

Thanks

Try adding
SET HTMLENCODE=OFF

It fixed the problem for me.


WF Production Version - 7.7.03 WIN 7 Solaris Oracle 11g
WF Production Version - 8.0.83 Win 7 Oracle 11g and SQL Server 2008

Yep - that was the culprit! Our administrator had it set in edasprof to on -- we turned it off in the program and now it is fat and happy.

SET HTMLENCODE=ON to encode the HTML output that is data.

This setting will disable the rendering of HTML tags within a browser when these tags
are stored within the actual data, or created using a DEFINE or COMPUTE command.
Thanks

Your administrator may have added this setting at the reporting server level because of a security requirement. Having the setting on makes your html reports less vulnerable to cross site scripting. I would let him know that you are overwriting the setting at the report level.

Yes, the admin is well aware of this --- but thanks for the heads up -- good for others to know for sure.
