Is there a way to put one border around the entire data section? In the following example, each and every cell in the data section has a border:

SET HTMLCSS = ON
SET BYDISPLAY = ON

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT SALES
BY COUNTRY
BY CAR
ON TABLE SET ONLINE-FMT HTML
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=TITLE, BORDER=LIGHT, BORDER-STYLE=RIDGE, BORDER-COLOR=RED, $
TYPE=DATA, BORDER=LIGHT, BORDER-STYLE=SOLID, BORDER-COLOR=BLUE,$
ENDSTYLE
END

Thanks,
Sean

The quick answer:

SET HTMLCSS = ON
SET BYDISPLAY = ON

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT SALES
BY COUNTRY
BY CAR
ON TABLE HOLD AS H001 FORMAT HTMTABLE
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=TITLE, BORDER=LIGHT, BORDER-STYLE=RIDGE, BORDER-COLOR=RED, $
ENDSTYLE
END
-RUN

-HTMLFORM BEGIN
<SPAN style="border: 1px solid blue;">
!IBI.FIL.H001;
</SPAN>
-HTMLFORM END

Francis,

Thanks for that interesting example. I notice this technique will surround the entire report, include TITLE, HEADING, FOOTING, etc with a border.

But is there a way to surround only the DATA section with a border? And can this be done in native WebFocus, or must HTML be used?

Thanks,
Sean

Sorry, I did not take that into account.

Unfortunately, I don't think it's possible. If WebFOCUS would generate <TH - Table Header tags and <TBODY - Table Body tags to separate the HEading and column titles from the report body, then you probably could use CSS styling to put a border around the body of the report.

You could perhaps use a border-bottom on the column titles and a border-top on a footing and thus get two out of the four borders! Then, perhaps, you could use a border-left on the first data column and a border-right on the last data-column - all this sounds pretty ugly, and there may be gaps in the border...

Sorry I can't be of any more help.
