[SOLVED]Across Data Title Backcolor
When I run the below code for HTML my column title backcolor for dealer cost is the same as the car title. When I change it to AHTML it changes to BLue. How do I control the backcolor and color of the delaer_cost title?

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
DEALER_COST
BY CAR
ACROSS MODEL
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOLEAD
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT AHTML
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
INCLUDE = IBFS:/EDA/EDASERVE/_EDAHOME/ETC/endeflt.sty,
$
ENDSTYLE
END

you're using a canned style sheet, so open it up and dig into it...

I did as suggested and I remember trying this before. The RGB color being displayed is rgb(45 102 182). There isn't anything in that file close to it. I entered every RGB in a color display app and nothing showed close to it. I found in the past that there are somethings you can not override for active reports. I think this is one of them. I thought i may have missed something and someone else had this problem and found a solution.

Or use this link to download a colordetector. Hover the mouse over the color and give you the numbers.

It appears there is a loophole in the WebFOCUS stylesheet selectors - there appears to be no way to reference the across column titles for Active HTML.

After some digging with html developer tools (F12) I discovered the background colour is applied to the table row using an Active HTML css class. The font is set to monospace because it's contained within a "tt" html tag (which, by the way, is not supported in HTML 5).

I would open a case and wait a year or two and then have the case closed without resolution. In the meantime, here is a workaround - include some css to override the default Active HTML behaviour:

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
DEALER_COST
BY CAR
ACROSS MODEL
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOLEAD
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT AHTML
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
INCLUDE = IBFS:/EDA/EDASERVE/_EDAHOME/ETC/endeflt.sty,
$
ENDSTYLE
END
-RUN

-HTMLFORM BEGIN
<html>
<style>
/* override Active HTML across column title background colour */
.arGridColumnHeading { background-color: rgb(102,102,102); }

/* override Active HTML across column title font (within a custom html tag "tt" */
.arGridColumnHeading tt { font-family: "TREBUCHET MS"; font-size: 9pt; font-weight: bold; }
</style>
</html>
-HTMLFORM END

Interestingly this only occurs when there is one measure going across - if there are two measures, the column titles are styled properly. I'll open a case.

I tried to search on the web for this, but is there a way to make the column widths wider or spacing between the columns. It doesn't appear that you can do this. I thought you may be hiding some more tricks up your sleeve.

Normally, ACROSSCOLUMN WRAP would work, but the bug prevents it from working - when there is only one verb object the style is not applied.

This works:
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
DEALER_COST
RETAIL_COST
BY CAR
ACROSS MODEL
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOLEAD
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT AHTML
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=REPORT, ACROSSCOLUMN=DEALER_COST, WRAP=4, $
ENDSTYLE
END
-RUN


This does not:
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
DEALER_COST
BY CAR
ACROSS MODEL
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOLEAD
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT AHTML
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=REPORT, ACROSSCOLUMN=DEALER_COST, WRAP=4, $
ENDSTYLE
END
-RUN

Maybe adding some padding to the column titles is the quickest way to make the columns wider, unfortunately this affects all columns, including the BY columns.

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
DEALER_COST
BY CAR
ACROSS MODEL
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOLEAD
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT AHTML
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
ENDSTYLE
END
-RUN

-HTMLFORM BEGIN
<html>
<style>
/* override Active HTML across column title background colour */
.arGridColumnHeading { background-color: rgb(102,102,102); }

/* override Active HTML across column title font (within a custom html tag "tt" */
.arGridColumnHeading tt { font-family: "TREBUCHET MS"; font-size: 9pt; font-weight: bold; padding-left: 40px; padding-right: 40px; }
</style>
</html>
-HTMLFORM END

Ok! Thanks for trying. I had tried the wrap and when it didn't work I figured it was me.

That did work for me. I originally tried to use width: xx but that didn't work for me. Thanks again.
