Rows with alternating background colors

2004-01-14 01:03

Hi,

 

In iReports, I created two rectangles with white & grey background colors respectively. Then making use of the variable REPORT_COUNT, I could display rows with alternating bacground colors. This works fine when I generate a PDF report. However it does not get reflected in the HTML report. Why?

 

Regds,

Jalis

HTML reports do not make use of rectangles (or shapes).

I found that out, too as Teo told me. Darn!

Hi,

 

Actually, the rectangles, lines or any other shape do

appear in HTML or XLS, but not if they overlap with

other elements.

 

And I think this is what happens in Jalis's case, if he

used a background rectangle to alternate the row

colors.

 

To avoid this problem, the color of the row should

be created by modifying the background color of each

element and by aligning them to eliminate

indermediate white space.

 

I hope this helps.

Reports are not coming properly via email

Hi,

 

When I generate a report(HTML,PDF,CSV) & request it via email, sometimes it does not come through properly. I get a system generated mail with the following content....

 

This message uses a character set that is not supported by the Internet Service. To view the original message content, open the attached message. If the text doesn't display correctly, save the attachment to disk, and then open it using a viewer that can display the original character set.

 

Could any one know of a solution for this. We have a release tommorow. Kinda urgent :). Thanks in advance for your help
