Trouble in page breaks

2004-09-27 13:56

I?m trying to export a report to HTML format. This report has a single group which is

used to break pages (I checked the option "Start on a new page" for this group).

I configured the A4 page sizes, but when I open this report in Internet

Explorer the page breaks don?t work fine. Besides, when I export the same report to PDF format

it works fine. So, what I have to do in order to get the same result using either HTML or PDF format?

 

 

Thanks in advance.

What HTML Tag you expect to be inserted at the position of the page break?

None, I thought that JasperReport would do it for me. Am I wrong?

My report is displayed fine in PDF format but HTML presentation doesn?t respect the page breaks. I setup A4 page size in Ireport, but when I open the report in Internet Explorer and use the "Preview" approach, it seems the pages are bigger than actually they are so that they are not displayed very well.

I would like to show each group in a new page.

There is a way to force page breaks in HTML, using the style "page-break-before:always". I know it is not a portable way to do that, but you can force page breaks.

But even I use this approach it wouldn?t work, because the pages aren?t started properly in HTML. I mean, the report groups aren?t presented in each page as expected, some of them are presented in the middle of the page not on top.

How can I solve this problem?

 

Thanks in advance.

Extend JRHtmlExporter to your needs.

or

Use something else to generate HTML.

There is no 'newPage' Tag in HTML !!!

 

HTML is always a single page.

 

The page break you see in the IE of whatever Browser you use is just a 'cut' of a single HTML page into parts that are printable by your printer.

 

Solution -> generate PDF and let the user upload the PDF.

However, there is a CSS2 setting though that is respected by some browsers (mainly IE):

 

exporter.setParameter(JRHtmlExporterParameter.BETWEEN_PAGES_HTML,

"<div style='page-break-after:always'></div>");
