BackColor of element covers text not cell?

Hi there,

Wondering if someone has any idea why when I change the backcolor of a reportElement that is a textElement that the backcolor in this case #FFFFFF only covers the text to the textElement. The underlying page color is visible in the rest of the cell. I have attached the detail section of my jrxml file.

Note that when exporting in the htmlExporter I have the following set:

htmlExporter.setParameter(JRHtmlExporterParameter.IS_WHITE_PAGE_BACKGROUND,Boolean.FALSE);

Any help greatly appreciated, very stuck on this one...which I think is something small I am missing.

Thanks,

Andrew

Hi,

What version of JasperReports are you using?

I took your JRXML snippet and tested inside a sample.

It worked as expected and the white background

was applied to the <td> cell, not only the text.

Thank you,

Teodor

Hi Teodord,

Thanks for the prompt reply. I am using Jasper Reports 1.0.1 (02 September 2005) with a single user licence of Jasper Assistant 2.0.2. Attached is my entire jrxml file, if you have a minute to look at it.

Many thanks, it's confusing me totally as to why its not working.

Hi

This issue was fixed in 1.1.0.

If you don't want to upgrade, use this patch against 1.0.1:

Index: JRHtmlExporter.java

===================================================================

RCS file: /cvsroot/jasperreports/jasperreports/src/net/sf/jasperreports/engine/export/JRHtmlExporter.java,v

@@ -872,7 +872,7 @@

StringBuffer styleBuffer = new StringBuffer();

- if (text.getBackcolor().getRGB() != Color.white.getRGB() && text.getMode() == JRElement.MODE_OPAQUE)

+ if ((!isWhitePageBackground || text.getBackcolor().getRGB() != Color.white.getRGB()) && text.getMode() == JRElement.MODE_OPAQUE)

{

styleBuffer.append("background-color: #");

String hexa = Integer.toHexString(text.getBackcolor().getRGB() & colorMask).toUpperCase();

Note that this will only fix the issue for text elements, if you have the same problem with other elements you can use a similar fix.

HTH,

Lucian

Hi Lucian,

Thanks for the information.

I will upgrade to 1.2.0 to correct this.

Changing background to 254 254 254 ( ever so slightly off white) is another option for anyone not wanting to upgrade. Although why you wouldn't want to is a mystery. ;-)

:huh: Sure that it has been updated?

Take a look at this topic:

Hi,

These are two different issues.

The mentioned fix was indeed fixed, but it was not related to styled text.

The backcolor property of styled text covers only the text. Why? Because in the same styled text field I can have two words having different back colors. And furthermore, those back colors could be different from the text field back color altogether.

The styled text backcolor property refers only to text, by definition, and has nothing to do with the overall text field element backcolor.

I hope this helps.
