[SOLVED] Two tables with different styling when printed in HTML

Hi,
I am trying to print the same table in repeat loop 2 times under two conditions.
for loop1 :Report by condition1
for loop2 :Report by condition2

such that the in HTML output table with condition1 will appear first then the same table filtered under the condition2.
When both having data the report works fine, since the same styling report is repeated in loop.

If anyone of the case is having no data i need to display a nodata message whose styling is different from the base table with data.

When both tables with different styling is printed in html format the borders, backcolor etc seem to disappear.But the same works fine with Excel format.I can't use the method by including .css stylesheet

Can anyone help me out.

It is uncanny that one of my users reported the very same problem at the same time you posted this question.

We have a temporary fix in that if we change this line:

ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON

to OFF, the styling issue goes away. You might want to try that. What we think is happening is that when the browser renders the page, it has 2 html documents in it, you can briefly see the sytling for the first one, but then I think it is being overlayed by the second one.

My user's resolution is eventually going to be the PDF Layout Painter which I don't think will help your situation.

One option may be do a "ON TABLE HOLD AS MyTable FORMAT HTMTABLE" combined with a "-GOTO NoDataLabel" (up on no data)which contains the desired formatting of the "No Data Report" and embedding the "MyTable"

I know that will work. I only hope that it makes sense to you.

Quite correct Doug.

It's is generally bad practice to render multiple complete HTML documents into a single window or frame.
It breaks all the rules and quite often breaks the content.

Create 2 HTMTABLEs and present them using

-HTMLFORM BEGIN
!IBI.FIL.REP1;
!IBI.FIL.REP2;
-HTMLFORM END

With the appropriate headers, body etc.

Thanks JG,
That with EMPTYREPORT could do the trick without the need for the check for no data.

hi all,

Thanks that really helped me , now it works fine.

I used HTMLCSS before on table hold format and then created hold files as

ON TABLE HOLD AS TEMP1 FORMAT HTMTABLE
ON TABLE HOLD AS TEMP2 FORMAT HTMTABLE

-HTMLFORM BEGIN
<html>
<body>


<div align="center">
  !IBI.FIL.TEMP1;
 </div>
  <div align="center">
  !IBI.FIL.TEMP2;
  </div>
</body>
</HTML>
-HTMLFORM END
