</textElement>
<text>CUSTOMER ID</text>
</staticText>
<staticText>
<reportElement x="150" y="0" width="365" height="10" mode="Opaque"/>
<textElement textAlignment="Left">
<font reportFont="Gothic_Bold" size="14"/>
</textElement>
<text>NAME</text>
</staticText>
<line direction="TopDown">
<reportElement x="0" y="50" width="515" height="2"/>
<graphicElement pen="2Point"/>
</line>

Hmmmm... let's try to think about.
After the header, huh ? Then I think it should be a vertical line, shouldn't it ? I would suggest to leave that direction ="topDown" away.
Further you can choose a color for the line - maybe it's just you background color the same as the default line color.

Try it like this:
<line>
<reportelement x="0" y="50" width="515" height="2" foreColor="#000000"/>
<graphicElement stretchType="noStretch" pen="2Point"/>
</line>

It works for me with pdf output. Never tried it in html, though.

Also make sure you do not accidently paint another element over the same area...

Hope you get it solved.
cya

Arrrg . Silly I am !! Of course HORIZONZTAL lines. That's what I meant. Dunno why I wrote vertical.

The example above should give ya a horizontal line.
Try to render the report into a pdf - if it works there, but not html, you at least can confirm it is no problem with your xml....
