TABLE FILE CAR
SUM RETAIL_COST
BY COUNTRY
BY CAR
BY DEALER_COST
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=REPORT, CSSURL=http:///STYLESHEET.css, $
ENDSTYLE
END

STYLESHEET.css
--------------
TABLE
{
border-collapse: collapse;
border-color: black;
}
td{
border-color: black;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
}

The above code gives the output with grids being displayed across all rows and columns ignoring the grouping.

That is, for the above grouping England is common for the car Jaguar,Jensen,Triumph and similarly Jaguar is common for the dealer cost 7,427 and 11,194. But the above code draws the grid for every Retail_cost under England, making England to get displayed in first grid and followed by 3 empty grids(or td).But the requirement is all these empty grid should be merged with England and should be displayed as a single td with the name ‘England’ centered.

Can anyone let me know how can this be achieved through style sheet?


Thanks & Regards,
Sridevi

Given that what you are meaning is ROWSPAN, you are actually talking web page structure and not styling.

To my knowledge this can not be achieved using CSS or WF style sheets, however, COLSPAN can be applied in WF.

The CSS style property empty-cells should do it for you, unfortunatley, in IE, when using border-collapse, the empty-cells property does not work. Then there's the border-spacing property that could be used instead of border-collapse, but that doesn't work in IE either.

If you Google "CSS cell spacing" you'll find a lot of articles about this problem, basically you can't have everything - border-collapse AND empty-cells.
