Is there any way to add iFrames to the HTML output

[phantastes]

Hi,

Would anyone know if it is possible to add multiple iFrames to the XHTML output for a report? Could this possibly be done using a custom component?

I just wanted to find out if this is even possible before attempting anything.

Thank you!

I hear that this can be done using a Generic Element as per this thread in the iReport forum.

Would anyone know how this could be achieved? I guess I would need to create multiple html files that the the main html could reference in the iFrame tags. Any thoughts on how much work this would be?

Thank you!

Magnus

I solved this by restyling the XHTML output using jQuery. The short short version:

1. Put your subreport in a frame. Set the net.sf.jasperreports.export.html.id property for the frame.

2. Restyle the document using:     

     var boxHeight = 350;

     $("#theFrameID").css('overflow','hidden');
     $("#theFrameID").css('overflow-y','scroll');
     $("#theFrameID").css('height',boxHeight+'px');

That's it.

Of course your specific implementation of JasperReports will need to be setup to add the javascript to your xhtml output. You will also need the jQuery library.

All the best,
