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?

    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.
