including css file at view time - ok button not enabled

deeebee

Hi,

I have a report which contains a help button (image) which when clicked will display a help message in a div floating over the page. The style for the div are located in an external css file on the web server. I would like to reuse the styles from the stylesheet as I will likely have more help boxes on the report.

In eclipse when I right click on the style node in the outline view and choose "use css file..." I can choose the "include css file at view time" option but when I enter the uri into the box the ok button never becomes active so I cannot finish the action.

Am I missing something or is this a bug?

I'm using birt 2.5.2.

Thanks

Richard

ok, I worked out that I need to also add the css as a resource and import it.

Problem is that birt seems to barf on my css because it has _ in the text.

I managed to work around the issue though by adding the <link...> to the html source by using document.write.

Bit of a hack but the end result works.
