Adding background in HTML pages

This was fixed in version jasperreports 2.0.4

Hi,

 

The trouble with the patch you have provided is that it uses the background image for all the HTML tables, including the nested ones coming from frame elements in the report template.

 

We assume you would actually want the background to be used only for the top level tables, coming from pages.

 

Thank you,

Hi,

 

Thanks for spending time on this. We need HTML background on every page and the table tag following the was thought to be the best to display the HtML background. This is the one which can reflect the background for each page. If we add the image at the top level table, the image would also spread across the non-printable area too so that is not desirable. When the user prints this page he should be able to see the image. So to answer your feedback the background is not to be used for top level tables.

 

Thanks and Regards,

Hi,

 

What is the decision taken on this issue. Is it accepted and implemented ?

Hi,

 

This is not yet accepted and implemented.

However, in the meantime, we have created an XHTML exporter that no longer has a problem with overlapping elements.

Basically, if you put an image in the section of your JRXML report template, you should be able to see it in the resulting XHTML document.

 

Please check the latest JR version and see the new exporter being used in the samples.

 

I hope this helps.

Hi,

 

I don't think we are going to patch the HTML exporter anymore, since the newer XHTML/CSS exporter no longer has the grid exporter limitations and using the background section of the report should work just find.

 

Thank you,
