We are trying to link to a CSS file that will be used for all of our future reports. We have tried following the instructions by placing it into the baseapps folder and also the bin folder and cannot get it to link.

Also, I've noticed that when I type in the LINK code, DeveloperStudio always adds the UserSuppliedFullPath="1". What is this and what does it accomplish. Thank you!

Search for CSSURL. You may need to provide the full url or just the name of the css file in your application folder. I think this depends on your environment.

Maybe we are just over complicating all of this, but we cannot get anything to work. The only time we can get the CSS to work is by placing it in the Other folder within the individual project folder. This will not work as we are trying to establish a master CSS file that will be referenced by multiple files in multiple folders.

So I tried the CSSURL...I assumed the SET CSSURL goes in the but it keeps moving itself into the which basically is just throwing text onto the screen.

Like I said, we're probably overlooking such a small step, but we've spent many many hours trying to make this work with no success.

How about placing the CSS file on on a web server that WebFOCUS can access.
  
SET CSSURL = http://webserver/stylesheets/my_css.css

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT 
     COUNTRY
     CAR
     MODEL
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT HTML
END


Look at the view source.

Also, do you want a CSS file for the parameter screens, as designed in HTML Composer? That CSSURL will not work.

sounds like you're using the GUI Report Painter.

You can point-and-click your way to the CSS stylesheet. Report > Styling... > Style File Selection > External Cascading StyleSheet URL.

I typed baseapp/style1.css (I'm not sure if this is the correct syntax) and this piece of code was generated:

ON TABLE SET CSSURL 'baseapp/style1.css'

A style sheet is applied by the browser. The URL should be just that ... a URL.

e.g. ON TABLE SET CSSURL 'http://localhost:8080/approot/baseapp/sample.css'

For the layout painter, there are steps to ensure the css is not moved or messed with.
