[CLOSED] Create Separate CSS and HTML files in a TABLE request
My TABLE request includes the following:
.
.
ON TABLE HOLD FORMAT HTMTABLE
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
this creates one html file with BOTH the report data and the css code.
Instead, I would like WebFOCUS to create 2 files. One containing the report data and the other that contains just the css code. Is this possible? I've considered post processing the output html file created and separating the text myself, but I was hoping that there was an easier way.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Kerry,

You cannot get WebFOCUS to create separate HTML and CSS files.
An alternative (and I feel better) method is to NOT use the HTMLCSS ssetting. Instead, use CSS classes - an HTML file is created and the CSS is your own stylesheet.
SET PAGE=NOLEAD
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM
SALES
BY COUNTRY
HEADING
"SALES REPORT"
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=REPORT, SQUEEZE=ON, $
TYPE=HEADING, CLASS=Head1, $
TYPE=TITLE, CLASS=ColumnTitle, $
ENDSTYLE
ON TABLE HOLD AS H001 FORMAT HTMTABLE
END
-RUN
-HTMLFORM BEGIN
<html>
<head>
<title>sales report</title>
<style type="text/css">
body { font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; }
td { font-size: 12px; }
.Head1 { font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; }
.ColumnTitle { color: blue; }
</style>
!IBI.FIL.H001;
-HTMLFORM END

thank you Fransis. I should have mentioned that my requests also contain
.
.
TYPE=REPORT, HFREEZE=ON,SCROLLHEIGHT=4.50 ,$
and it is my understanding the the use of HFREEZE requires HTMLCSS to be turned on. Can you offer anything else? Thanks again!!

Yes, you should have mentioned that
You may be able to use a combination of HTMLCSS and style sheet classes, the only way to find out is to try.
I should have asked, "Why?".

Just curious as to why you need to separate the generated code into individual HTML and CSS files?

Francis - I am not the html/css expert here so I am only repeating what I thing the web developer told me. He said;
the internal css wont get processed as a style sheet only gets processed and applied when an ENTIRE page loads. (I am giving him html files in HTMTABLE format that he is incorporating into other pages). He said he needs it separated so he can force it to be applied by connecting it at run time to the document model or having it preloaded.
Hope that makes sense.

Unless the report is a huge HTML file, I don't think there will be a difference between the embedded CSS and the external file, but then, he's the expert.
