Problem with WebFOCUS Styling - not very cascading

I don't know if WebFOCUS styling is supposed to cascade, but it doesn't work very well.

For example, why on earth do the two style commands below not work together?

COL1 is wide and the brwser wraps the cell contents, I want to turn wrap off, so I add TYPE=REPORT, COLUMN=COL1, WRAP=OFF, $.

I also want to colour the COL1 data based on a condition, so I add TYPE=DATA, COLUMN=COL1, COLOR=RGB(0 97 113), WHEN= BODYTYPE EQ 'SEDAN', $ When I add this, the WRAP no longer works. I know I can add WRAP=OFF in the TYPE=DATA command, but why do I need to?

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
COMPUTE COL1/A200 = MODEL | ' '| MODEL;
*

ON TABLE SET PAGE NOLEAD
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=REPORT, SQUEEZE=ON,
FONT='ARIAL', SIZE=9, BORDER=1, BORDER-COLOR=SILVER, $
TYPE=REPORT, COLUMN=COL1, WRAP=OFF, $
TYPE=DATA, COLUMN=COL1, COLOR=RGB(0 97 113), WHEN= BODYTYPE EQ 'SEDAN', $

ENDSTYLE
END


Thanks,


Francis

Yep, I've noticed too...


It uses 'CSS' to add the style, but isn't cascading itself.

Must say I have better experience with using WF ( with or without .sty file ) to just add CLASS-names (multiple if needed ) to different parts of the report and use a 'real' .css to take care of the styling.

e.g.
TYPE=DATA,
   CLASS=datastyle,
$
TYPE=TITLE,
CLASS=titlestyle,
$
TYPE=DATA,
COLUMN=COL1
CLASS=datastyle datahighlight,
$


CSS will apply both classes to the HTML-element when specified.

This might be something to work with,

Greets,
Dave

Try changing "DATA" to "REPORT" in your "TYPE=DATA, COLUMN=COL1, COLOR=RGB(0 97 113), WHEN= BODYTYPE EQ 'SEDAN', $" line.

DATA Trumps REPORT when cascading.

Does TITLE Trump REPORT (I think so)? If so, try adding "TYPE=TITLE, STYLE=NORMAL, $" after you "TYPE=REPORT, COLUMN=COL1, COLOR=RGB(0 97 113), WHEN= BODYTYPE EQ 'SEDAN', $" line.
