Column width vs. screen resolution

Hi
I see at metalink's main page when I have login the first report's resize when resize my browser windows.
I have try to fix some of my reports in my application for a 1024 x 768 screen resolution with:
<table><col style="width:500px;"><tr><td>#COLUMN_NAME#</td></tr></table>
Would I have to change the 500px to % value instead? or can I use a other method?

I seem to now have to choose between size and resolution!
That was always true — it isn't new in Lion. When you use the fixed number of pixels in your MBP's screen, which I presume is 1680 x 1050, to simulate a smaller number of pixels in the same screen area, the simulated pixels are larger, and so is everything displayed on the screen that is linked to the size of a pixel — like the menu bar and the font in it, tool palettes in many applications, dialog boxes and the text in them, etc., etc. Setting your screen to a lower resolution always makes these things bigger, and a higher resolution always makes them smaller. Always has, in every Mac OS version.

  • FDM column width in Import and Validate Screens data table

    is it somehow possible to influence the width of the columns in the Import and Validate/Export Screen in any way?

  • How to find out the current  screen resolution/width in webdynpro.

    HI,
    Can any one please tell me how to get the screen resolution in webdynpro?
    Regards
    -Sandip

    Hi Sandip,
    - view size can be set by setting the 'width' of the RootUIElementContainer. By defalut, it will be 100% only. Also, It is always better to use the % coz it does not distort your view with different screen resolutions.
    - while creating the iview, you have the property like 'HeightType'. There you can set the value as FIXED, AUTOMATIC & FULL_PAGE. If you wish, you may leave it as it is.
    - All you have the properties like 'Fixed Height' etc to set the size values.

  • I want to control width on column in report screen - new user

    the file is "CHANGEMANAGEMENT"
    The field is "REQUEST_DESCRIPTION" - It is 2000 characters
    I can't find a combination of settings that will allow me to set the width on a column for a screen so that the screen doesn't have to scroll away to the right. If I change the type to text area, I can set the width but it opens it up so that it doesn't look like a report. (It looks like the screen that I'm typing this into.) Plus it holds all the spaces so that the report is much larger than it needs to be.
    The report screen is from a PL/SQL query - similar to
    select * from "CHANGEMANAGEMENT" - with a join to another table with another large field.

    Hi CheekyFellow,
    I hope the following will make it a bit clearer:
    When a report is being generated, a table is created (in HTML, this is a &lt;TABLE&gt;&lt;/TABLE&gt; tag) to hold the data. Within this, each record is added as a new row (a &lt;TR&gt;&lt;/TR&gt; tag) and within this each field is inserted as cell (a &lt;TD&gt;&lt;/TD&gt; tag) - the data itself is inserted between the &lt;TD&gt; tag and the corresponding &lt;/TD&gt; closing tag.
    When you apply styling using the CSS Style setting, it can not update the &lt;TD&gt; tag as this has already been created, so it wraps the column's value within a &lt;SPAN&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt; tag applying your style setting to the SPAN tag (eg, &lt;SPAN style="color:blue"&gt;xxxxx&lt;/SPAN&gt; will turn the text blue). SPAN tags are normally used to apply font and colour styling to portions of text. Whilst you can add things such as width settings, SPAN tags are not "block" elements in HTML (ie, they are not rectangles on the page) but are "inline" elements (ie, they flow with the text they surround), so setting dimensions will not necessarily produce the result you expect. As an example, a TABLE is a block element because it has dimensions that you can define and is rectangular in shape but a &lt;B&gt;xxx&lt;/B&gt; tag (to switch bold on/off) is an inline element because it affects the text display not its layout.
    Within a table, a column is made up of a collection of &lt;TD&gt; cells. The maximum width of these cells determines the width of the column. You can override this by adding in a &lt;COL&gt; tag definition immediately after the &lt;TABLE&gt; definition. In our reports, we don't get this opportunity because the table, tr and td tags have already been created. As we can not add in a COL tag in the report table itself, the only way to fix the width of a column is to fix the width of the &lt;TD&gt; cells within that column and the only way to do this is to add in an HTML element that you can fix the width for. With the additional requirement of needing word-wrapping in the contents of the cell, you can only really use a &lt;TD&gt; cell and, therefore, you need to construct an entire table (albeit one that has only one row and one column) - hence my suggestion shown above.

  • How to increase size of individual column width in the filter screen of WAD

    Hello all ,
    Have a web application built in WAD. I have ran it  in portal and want to put the filter on material.When the filter screen displayed , I selected the filter value on material and added it to selections.  I am not able to see the full description of the material due to the width of the column is less which is hided to drag.

  • Flash Island width and height - screen resolution

    Hi,
    I'm wondering if anybody knows a way to determine the screen resolution used in WDA? You might wonder why do we need screen resolution when you have 100% and flow layout.. well we're using a Flash Island frontend, and you are obligated to enter a height and width for the island. We'd like to support multiple resolutions for users and we could try to bind height and width to context attributes and set these in WWDOINIT perhaps if we'd know how to determine the resolution.
    Thanks in advance,
    Wouter

    and you are obligated to enter a height and width for the island
    I'm not sure that's completely true - I have an island that we set the height for - but the width as 100% -  that seems to work just fine - albeit that the size is fixed from entry into the application - resizing the window does not resize the island.
    I haven't wanted an island with 100% height - but are you sure this doesn't work?
    if you watch the teched virtual session [CD203: Best Practices for Designing Web Dynpro ABAP User Interfaces |http://tinyurl.com/2dcp3fv] there is looooooooooong section in there where they go on and on about 100% rendering - it's pretty obvious - but worth repeating (at least it seems so in the session) 100% is only 100% of the container that the container is embedded within.
    Have a go - I'm not 100% convinced you can't have a 100% island
    Cheers,

  • Panel collection with auto height for different screen resolution

    Hi.
    I created a page using panel collection by default height for 1024 * 768 screen resolution and works fine. When I change the screen resolution to 1152 * 864 then my page layout changes as I can see lot more space at bottom due to fixed height define for panel collection.
    Here my question is how to make height as dynamic for panel collection which can changed based on screen resolution. Usually percentage for height attribute resolve the issue but JDev 11.1.1.4.0 doesn't support percentage its allows only pixel or em.
    Please let me know to resolve this issue.
    Thanks

    If you want a table to occupy 80% of the height of the screen you should be able to do this with assigining % to the various panelStretch facets - like this:
        <af:form id="f1">
          <af:panelStretchLayout id="psl1" topHeight="10%" bottomHeight="10%">
            <f:facet name="bottom">
              <af:spacer width="10" height="1" id="s2"/>
            </f:facet>
            <f:facet name="center">
              <af:panelCollection id="pc1">
                <f:facet name="menus"/>
                <f:facet name="toolbar"/>
                <f:facet name="statusbar"/>
                <af:table var="row" rowBandingInterval="0" id="t1">
                  <af:column sortable="false" headerText="col4" id="c1">
                    <af:outputText value="#{row.col4}" id="ot1"/>
                  </af:column>
                  <af:column sortable="false" headerText="col5" id="c2">
                    <af:outputText value="#{row.col5}" id="ot2"/>
                  </af:column>
                </af:table>
              </af:panelCollection>
            </f:facet>
            <f:facet name="start"/>
            <f:facet name="end"/>
            <f:facet name="top">
              <af:spacer width="10" height="1" id="s1"/>

  • 11gr1 - Handling different screen resolutions for an enterprise app.

    Hi,
    We are developing an enterprise application that will be deployed at different clients with different hardware.
    We are confused about how to handle different screen resolutions and wonder how others are handling this.
    We have some fixed size areas in our screens and liquid areas for content that may expand. The problem is say that you have a table with 6 columns. This table will be rendered nicely at 1280X800 but not at 1650X1050 or 800X600.
    At higher resolutions we will either end up having some blank space or expand one of the columns of the table , but can't expand every column proportionally and this will look ugly.
    For lower resolutions same problem in a different way will come into picture, we will not able to resize the columns and end up with scroll bars etc ...
    What is the best practice with handling different screen resolutions for components like table,panel splitter etc ?
    Thanks

    Hi Muhammed,
    I don't think that any better solution exists, you already use liquid layouts and define widths & heights with percentages etc. In my opinion using blank column at the end of table columns makes table's looking better. Additionally creating custom skin for table and defining column heights & widths with % or em may help you to stretch columns?

  • Relative column width

    Our company use one OBIEE - dashboard with several tables. The dashboards are watched at different monitors with a different resolutions.
    The outlining of the columns is on each screen diffenrent. Is it possible to make relative columns widths so that the outling of the rables is on each monitor the same?
    kind regards
    Alexander

    I have found changing column widths one of the most frustrating aspects of building Dashboards. In the Additional Formatting Options section on the Style tab of the column in Criteria you wish to change, you can add a percentage (relative) or an actual number (absolute) to attempt to control the width of columns. To change where the report appears within a section of the Dashboard -- (which you seem to be talking about from your description) -- you need to change the horizontal alignment. In Results, click on the Format View button and you can play with the horizontal alignment there.
    The final suggestion I can offer and I have done this to control how reports appear when they are side-by-side, is to build a "padding" report. Basically, I build a report with just the Narrative View. A dummy column with a CASE statement tricks OBI and putting in HTML spaces creates the "buffer." The more spaces the "wider" the report and the more it "pushes" the other reports to where I want it to appear. (This is especially useful when you have two links, horizontally, on the dashboard and you wish them to appear on the left side (easier to see on smaller monitors). The default puts them too much to the middle of the dashboard, perhaps what you are experiencing. I may be wrong. Query again if you wish more details on how to do this.

  • In Sales Order changing the column width to see all item desciption?

    When in the sales order screen .
    Expand the column width of say the item description.
    How do I save the column width for all the sales documents  for the field item description in sales order ?

    Hi,
    The column width of the Document will be defaulted to the same size at which the user has saved the last document.
    So, if a user has saved the Sales Order with a big column width for the 'Item Description' then after saving and re-entering into the Sales Order, the user can see the same column width for all the Sales Order's.
    I hope the above helps.

  • DB does not look the same in different screen resolutions

    Hi All -
    I have built my dashboards using the Windows screen resolution 1024 x 768, and exported the dashboard into powerpoint.  With this resolution the dashboard looks normal.  I then changed my Windows screen resolution to 1280 x 1024, opened the ppt slideshow and my X-axis labels are being cut off.  The labels are written vertically (ex: 06/09/09).
    Does anyone know why this could be happening?
    Thanks!
    Tracy

    I am experiencing the exact same thing. The width of the tabs in the layout editor is varied depending on the length of the text. However, at run-time, the width of the tabs is fixed, causing the tabs to be wider than the window and a set of VCR buttons to appear in the upper right corner of the canvas. Personally, I think this is a Forms bug. Why would they intentionally let us set the width to variable at design-time only to force a fixed width at run-time?

  • How can I resize my Flash site to fit any screen resolution?

    I built a 100% flash site with tiled framing but I have a
    problem. My flash was built 766 x 750 pixiels. When viewed at
    resolutions greater than 1024x768 the webpage looks great but
    anything less than that it looks like @#$@. I know most people
    probably view at 1024 x 768. Is there anyway to auto resize based
    up on screen resolution or something to detect the screen size and
    adjust the webpage accordingly.

    tlcarl,
    > I know most people probably view at 1024 x 768.
    You think so? Even if they have their resolution that high
    (which is
    fairly standard, nowadays), do you think most people maximize
    their browsers
    to fill that whole area?

    There is, indeed. :) Check out the Stage.onResize event in
    the
    ActionScript 2.0 Language Reference. That event is dispatched
    when the
    browser (or whatever container) is resized -- in cases where
    the SWF is
    embedded with percentages. If that's your aim, you'll need to
    code against
    that event, which can be done like this ...
    http://www.quip.net/blog/2006/flash/how-to-position-movie-clips-browser-resizing
    It can take a bit of thought, depending on the complexity of
    your goal,
    but the result is usually worth it. The site in your URL is
    already built,
    so this wouldn't do much of anything without opening the
    hood, so to speak,
    and completely rebuilding the engine. A Flash movie has to be
    designed and
    programmed to respond to the Stage.onResize event.
