HTML rendering problems
jsinai
Hi, I'm using the report engine api v3.7. One of my reports has a strange problem. The style I've specified is ignored in the html rendering of the report. It looks fine in the PDF rendering, and in the designer preview. No matter what I do, I can't get it to honor the font and color settings, whether I use a style or individual settings.
More detail: there are two places where this is a problem. One is a grid within a grid. The other is a table header.
Another, more minor issue, is that the borders around grids and tables in the html rendering are sometimes missing or appear as dashed lines.
I've attached screenshots to show the difference between the designer preview and the engine api html rendering.

I dont use BIRT 3.7 but 3.6.1 and never had that problem, but there always some difrences between PDF and HTML. But maybe best if you could attach a report with just the styles that can mimik the problem ?<br /></p></blockquote>

Thanks for your reply. I've attached a simplified report that shows the problem.<br />

For the table header problem, I solved it by removing the table header and instead putting a label above the table.
For the grid-within-grid problem, I removed the inner grid, and I made the dynamic text items that were inside that grid have inline rather than block display.
