How do i use word wrap in report design?

Mylsamy

Hi all,

I am using Birt report version 2.3.2.

I created a design in JDBC datasource and access the data.

and the dataset value is dateSetRow["CompnayName"]="sdssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssddddddfsfsfdsfdsfsdfsdfdsssssssssssssssssssss" like this.

I display the character is one line with out break the word when i view the report.

But i want to apply the Word wrap to that column.

Can I do this?

Please help me.

Hi Myl,

You may have to use substrings or insert break characters into the string to get it to wrap to the next line. If I find anything else out on this, I'll post it in here.

Thanks for your valuable reply Williams,

Now i found the solutions for word wrap. I call javascript method wrap(), that method i defined and now okay.

But the problem is starting here, when i view the report in Report viewer it display the output in HTML and PDF format. The same report i run through servlet means it display wrap() that is javascript method is not defined error.

Error : Unable to load Script file WebContent/scripts/WordWrap.js.

Error : A BIRT exception occurred: Error evaluating Javascript expression. Script engine error: ReferenceError: "wrap" is not defined. I attached my report design file and PrintResume XML file.


My Javascript code is : WordWrap.js

function wrap(longStr,width){
length = longStr.length;
if(length <= width)
return longStr;
return (longStr.substring(0, width) + "\n" + wrap(longStr.substring(width, length), width));
}


Can i add any jar files to my Project? or How can i solve this problem?

Hi,
Did you able to get rid of the exception, even i am seeing the exception when i try to do 'export data' to CSV format, from this report [which is deployed under tomcat server].
However i did not see any exception, if i do export data from BIRT eclipse setup.

Any help !!

Here is one solution. Put your content in a dynamic text item with the following text:

<div style="word-wrap: break-word"><VALUE-OF>row["longStr"]</VALUE-OF></div>

This works in both IE and Firefox, which supports the non-standard "word-wrap: break-word" style. Not sure about other browsers though.
