Hi All,

Im trying to create a report in html format

The report should be like

--Summary section1
--Detail section1
--Summary section2
--Detail section2
.....
.....

Here summary and Detail section are two different table requests.

The report is coming fine for less than 5 summary/detail sections. When it exceeds 5 then the report is coming similar to squeeze is off( width size is increasing)..
and also styling attributes like border,backcolor etc are missing for the the rest of the tables.

Im using htmtable

-HTMLFORM BEGIN
-REPEAT LBL_NXT FOR &V_COUNT FROM 1 TO &V_NO
< !--WEBFOCUS TABLE &SMRY>
< !--WEBFOCUS TABLE &DETL>
-SET &V_CNT = &V_CNT + 1 ;
-SET &SMRY = 'SMRY'||&V_CNT ;
-SET &DETL = 'DETL'||&V_CNT ;
-LBL_NXT
-HTMLFORM END

can any body help to acheive the report?

do this:

-HTMLFORM BEGIN
<HTML>
<TABLE  some controlling specs here if you like>
 
-REPEAT... your repeat specs
<TR>
<TD...some specs here>
!IBI.FIL.&SMRY|;
</tr>
<tr><TD>
!IBI.FIL.&DETL|;
</tr>
-LBL_XT
</TABLE>
</HTML>
-HTMLFORM END

See what i'm doing? giving you some specific control over your whole output table by making each individual output table the contents of one cell of an overall hosting table,
and also changing your < !-- webfocus syntax to the more modern bang ibi syntax !IBI.FIL
..
yes of course thanks Alan

Shouldn't the TR be within the -REPEAT? Otherwise won't you get a horizontal set of tables.

The bug i found is the summary stylesheet is not in sync wid detail stylesheet. Im put in detail style sheet more right gap and left gap . so the final report looks like as if squeeze off.

Still the problem exists

Every thing alignment, borders are comin fine for only first few tables. After 31 htmtable request(summary + detail), the tables are comin fine with proper alignment of data.but the borders , backcolor and font are not comin for these tables.


Hi sussannah
I used the above code, but the problem remaines same. Anyway thanks for the help

Is there any limitations in the above method of displayin?

Take a look at this:

Try setting WF_BURST_OUTPUT to Off.

Hi All,

I dont have the permission to set WF_BURST_OUTPUT OFF. and also if we set this at server side it may affect other reports.

so we analyzed the output from html files. Every thing was applied and can be seen in the source code of html output. The problem here is, for every cell/table the webfocus is applying the same styling attribute to the html output. For huge no. of tables the browser is not capable of handling that many styling attributes at a time.

so we are looking for alternate option. We are trying to create CSS stylesheets. That can be used common for all the similar tables. In this way we can reduce redundant styling attributes for the similar tables.

once we done, i wil post the results here ...

Thanks & Regards
cdp

We stored all the tables in the html tables
Then by using the htmlform command we are displaying all these tables which refer to only one css file instead of multiple css(this is produced when we are using webfocus styling attributes)

  
-HTMLFORM BEGIN
<HTML>
<TITLE>
"BUDGET TOTALS REPORT"
</TITLE>
<HEAD>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/style.css" type="text/css">
</HEAD>
<BODY>
-LBL_NXT
<DIV>
!IBI.FIL.&SMRY;
</DIV>
<DIV>
!IBI.FIL.&DETL;
</DIV>
-SET &V_CNT = &V_CNT + 1 ;
-SET &SMRY = 'SMRY'||&V_CNT ;
-SET &DETL = 'DETL'||&V_CNT ;
-IF &V_CNT LT &V_LOC_CNT THEN GOTO LBL_NXT ;
</BODY>
<HTML>



The code for style sheet using the CSS instead of webfocus functions

  
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOLEAD
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE HOLD AS &DETL FORMAT HTMTABLE
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
UNITS=IN,
PAGESIZE='Legal',
SQUEEZE=ON,
ORIENTATION=LANDSCAPE,
LEFTMARGIN=0.100000,
RIGHTMARGIN=0.00000,
TOPMARGIN=0.00000,
BOTTOMMARGIN=0.00000,
$
TYPE=REPORT,
LEFTGAP=0.0500000,
RIGHTGAP=0.0500000,
CLASS='RPT',
$
-*ACCOUNT NUMBER AND DESCRIPTION
TYPE=SUBHEAD,
BY=PAYROLL_ACCT,
CLASS='B_SBHD_ACTDESC',
$
-*COLUMN TITLES
TYPE=SUBHEAD,
BY=V_ACCTNO_DESC,
HEADALIGN=BODY,
CLASS='B_SBHD_TTL',
$
TYPE=SUBHEAD,
BY=V_ACCTNO_DESC,
OBJECT=TEXT,
ITEM=1,
CLASS='B_SBHD_TTL_LTHY',
$



All the tables have the same classes defined in the Style.css. Since the same classes are referring by all the tables we can eliminate the problem

Thanks & Regards,
