How to get style of element

dzish

Hi, 
 
can anybody help me? 
 
I want to change style of element. I found element and tried in many javascript events 
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'>
var style = myElement.getPrivateStyle();
</pre>
but style is always null. Where can I obtain style?

Hi dzish,

Are you talking about manually styling an element? Or are you talking about the style sheet?

If manually styling an element, in it's onCreate script, you can access the style with this.getStyle(). Then, you'll have the different style options that can be set, i.e. this.getStyle().styleOption = "styleValue";

Hi, 
 
I meant "manually styling an element". But I also forgot to write one essential thing. The report is called from Birt Sample Viewer (BSV). 
 
My scenario is: 
1. I'm generating report in BSV . it's html format with tables without page breaks. 
2. Then I'm doing export of that report from BSV to pdf. I want this one with page breaks. 
 
For getting format I tried "__format". It was alaways "html" even with export to pdf. 
Then I tried "reportContext.getRenderOption()" it returns pdf but only onRender event. 
 
You can try to generate my example. With straight export to pdf from eclipse "view report as PDF" it's correct. It . With export to pdf through BSV it doesn't work. 
 
Note:in the example I finally get style of element, but it doesn't change pagebreaks as I wish.

dzish,

What version of BIRT are you using, so I can open/modify the report in the correct version?

Hi,

I have 2.5.1 and I must use it. I've used workaround. I put to report empty label which is visible in all formats except html. And it has "pagebreak after always".
So in html it is seamless and in other formats it has page breaks.

thank you
