CR Reports 2008: Space Between HTML Attribute and Value Causes Attribute To Be Ignored

I have a field in a report with its Text interpretation set to "HTML Text". When content is rendered in that field that was sourced from a Microsoft Word document, some of the attributes seem to be ignored by Crystal.
For example, I have observed with "style" attributes that if there is a space between the attribute and the value, e.g. "FONT-FAMILY: SimSun" then Crystal will not render the Asian characters, replacing them with squares. However, if I manually remove the space so that the attribute appears as "FONT-FAMILY:SimSun", then the characters properly render as expected. I have observed the same issue with at least one other attribute as well, "FONT-SIZE".
This html does render properly in various browsers, so it seems to be an issue with Crystal Reports. Can you provide me with information about this and if there is a fix for it in subsequent versions. The version I tested with is 2008 - 12.5.0.1190.
Thanks for any assistance that you can provide.

hi Ethan,
here are the list of supported html tags in text interpretation...font family is indeed a supported tag.
does the html appear properly in the designer?...you mentioned various browsers and am wondering if you mean the crystal web viewers?
if the issue is in your cr designer, you may wish to patch it to the latest level.
also, ensure that you do not have any unsupported tags in your html that may be causing an issue.

No space between phonetic name and department

Has anyone experienced a problem on iPhone running iOS7 when using contacts. I recently added information to one of my contacts: department, phonetic name, company, etc. When I was done, I pushed "Done" and it showed me info without space between phonetic name and department. Words were written together. How can I contact apple to tell them to fix that issue?

Hi there
I may be wrong in my understanding with this. My own understanding is that when you have expanding text, the space between the expanded text and the next text was removed. For example:
Here is a sentence with expanding text to click on.
And if the user clicked the expanding text, the expansion occurred, but removed the space between the expanded text and the next word. So it looked like this:
Here is a sentence with expanding textexpanded text contentto click on.
So my understanding was that the update would correct things so that they looked like this:
Here is a sentence with expanding textexpanded text content to click on. (Note the space between "content" and "to".)
What you seem to be describing is that the text looks like this when you expand it:
Here is a sentence with expanding textexpanded text content to click on.
But you would prefer it look like this instead:
Here is a sentence with expanding text expanded text content to click on. (Note the added space between "text" and "expanded".)
My thought is that you can work past this by simply inserting a space character to precede the expanded text.
Cheers... Rick

How can I change the space between a checkbox and text all at one time? I have a lot of checkboxes in my form.

How can I change the space between a checkbox and text all at one time? I have a lot of checkboxes in my form.

Okay, I haven't found a way to add an extra space using Find/replace, but you might be able to add some text wrap to the check boxes that will push the text away from them.
Open Find/Replace and click the Object tab.
Click the Specify attributes to find button to the right of the Find Object Format: field.
Under Basic Attributes, choose Stroke and then the Black swatch (assuming the black swatch is applied to the strokes of your check boxes). If there are no other stand-alone objects in your form with a Black stroke, this should be all you need. (If there are Black strokes on your table cells, they will be ignored.)
Click OK
Click the Specify attributes to change button to the right of the Change Object Format: field.
Under Basic Attributes, choose Text Wrap & Other > Text Wrap > Type: > Wrap around bounding box (2nd button from left)
Under Offset, set a Right offset at the distance you'd like to add (I don't know what units you use, but the 3-5 points might work for your purposes...might take some trial-and-error to get it where you want)
Click OK
Click Change All

Difference between using Binding and Value Attribute

what is the deference between using binding and value attribute, when I use binding attribute at the time of Value change listener is behaving like action listener,
Ex:
If I use value attribute, at the time of value change listener the component is not showing the result in the component but when I use Binding attribute it is happening automatically. So I want to know how the binding attribute is working.
I know, at the time of binding attribute the component is creating an instance at the bean side, So even also how it is following the life cycle of the JSF Frame work, and also Please suggest me weather which one is better to use either Binding or Value?

So I want to know how the binding attribute is working.You need to learn about the JSF lifecycle. The ValueChangeEvent is invoked after conversion and validation in the 3rd phase, while the model values are updated in the 4th phase. In the valueChangeListener method you normally use ValueChangeEvent#getNewValue() to get the new value after the change.
I know, at the time of binding attribute the component is creating an instance at the bean side, So even also how it is following the life cycle of the JSF Frame work, and also Please suggest me weather which one is better to use either Binding or Value?Use the 'value' attribute to bind the value to the bean. Use the 'binding' attribute to bind the component to the bean. If you don't need to precreate the component or do other things than getting/setting its value, then there is no need for the 'binding' attribute.
Read on those links if you want to know something more about the JSF lifecycle:

Sort By Artist leaves spaces between some albums and some without. Help !

Hello All,
So I'm looking for some help here. I have my iTunes in basically perfect order but the one thing I can't figure out is that when sorting by artist (or even by album for that matter). Some albums have a one line space between them and others do not.
I've attached a screen shot to explain.
http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj87/TSchiewe/Picture1-3.png
If you look, there's a line space between "Arcade Fire" and "Archie Bell & the Drells"(which is what I want for everything). But no line space between "Archie Bell & the Drells" and "Architecture In Helsinki" and for that matter between the the next "Architecture In Helsinki" album.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can seem to find anything but I think its mainly do to the ambiguous terms.
Travis.

You'll probably find that if you shrink the artwork column a bit the blank line disappears. For albums with few tracks there will always be some blank lines to allow the art to be displayed, but at some point the display changes to contiguous listing. As far as I'm aware this is a cosmetic change introduced with iTunes 8. In iTunes 7.x there was always at least one blank line separating albums in the equivalent layout.

How to change space between folder icon and text on personal toolbar?

I have a few folders on the personal toolbar with just a letter to indicate what they are, but on the theme I'm using, the letter is too far away from the folder it belongs to and partially falls under the next folder icon. I don't want to increase the spacing between all icons to show the full letter, as this decreases the amount of icons you can have on the toolbar. Instead I want to decrease the space between the folder and text belonging to it, so it's right next to it instead of 5 pixels away.
I've found various entries to change padding and margins in userChrome.css, but it's always for around the icon, I don't know where to look to close the space between the icon and its corresponding text.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Did you check the value of the margin-left of the text?
You can set negative margin values if necessary.
<pre><nowiki>#PlacesToolbarItems .toolbarbutton-text { margin-left: -2px !important; }</nowiki></pre>
Add .bookmark-item[container] if you only need this for folder items
<pre><nowiki>#PlacesToolbarItems .bookmark-item[container] .toolbarbutton-text { margin-left: -2px !important; }</nowiki></pre>

How to manage the space between a table and its title?

Have tables where titles are very close to the main text and need a couple of points to separate these elements. How to reshape this space?
1. Titles were separated by a return that is not visible... (any code is revealed by ID)
2. When a Return is inserted after the title, nothing happens aparently, but this return is now visible and could be used as a «paragraph space after» value:
3. A solution could be Grep to catch the end of paragraph assigned to titles to insert a return;
but Grep only catches the right border of the table (the yellow mark shows the big blinking cursor);
Grep cannot see the end of paragraph in the tables's title.
It another method?
Basically, how to modify the space between a table and ists title

I think you and Bob are not in synch here.
Bob suggested that you could use paragraph spacing, but for that to work you do need to use separate paragraphs for the title and table, which you don't seem to be doing. Using GREP to find the end of the paragraph only works if there IS and end to the paragraph. As far as I know there is now meta-character to use in Find/Change that would allow you to find a table and insert a paragraph break ahead of it, but I bet it could be scripted.
I'm not quite sure what you were trying to find in the GREP you posted. Did you actually have a paragraph return inserted already after the title? In that case you only need to redefine the style for that paragraph to add the space (or redefine the style for the paragraph that holds the table itself). You don't need the GREP. But the reason it does nothing is that you've found a location -- the end of the paragraph, but haven't found any actual text to modify. To do anything you would need to use something like .$
But back to NOT having a separate paragraph... If you put the cursor in any table cell and go to Table Options > Table Setup tab you'll see fields to set space before and after the table that should do what you want. That was the second part of what he posted.

How do I alter the space between the Bullet and the start of a sentence?

Hello, I have recently upgraded to Pages 5.0.1, I would like to adjust the space between the bullet and the start of the sentence without having to use space as I need to save this action as part of the template that I am working on. I know the tabs at the top adjust indent but they move the bullet too, I need to change the space between the two. Thanks in advance for the help!

Please ignore this question, I found it, just wasn't used to the new layout of the inspector. For anyone else who is looking, the inspector is the pannel on the left, at the top click style, then at the bottom you will see bullets, click the arrow next to bullets to expand the options then adjust the "text" indent, note there are two indent options "Bullet" and "Text", "text" effects the space between the bullet and word and "bullet" effects the space between the margin and bullet.
Now I just need to work out how to update the default font styles in new pages and I'm back to where I was six months ago.

Page Attributes and Application Class Attributes

Hi, everyone,
I am quite new to BSP.
I have a question here:
what is the difference between page attributes and application class attributes of a bsp application? As they are both global attributes, there seems to be no big difference when we use them.
thanks a lot.
Fan

Hi Fan,
a BSP application can be made up of many pages.
A page attribute is visible only in the page it is associated with.
Attributes of the application class are visible from every page in that application.

Remove XML attribute and value

Hi All,
I require to delete the attribute and value in xml structure.
Below code is not working due to ":" (aid:cstyle) between attribute name.
JS code is:
evaluateXPathExpression("//typestyle[@aid:cstyle = 'bold']")
If I remove colon and change it to aidcstyle than it is working. How to read : (colon)?
Also it is showing alert message again and again.
Please help.
Chang.

for the first problem there are two fixes:
first one (simple, normal, no ideea why it's not there already) declare your aid (and aid5) namespaces in your xml. For example:
<Root xmlns:aid=”http://ns.adobe.com/AdobeInDesign/4.0/”
xmlns:aid5=”http://ns.adobe.com/AdobeInDesign/5.0/”>
second one: more advanced xpath, if it works, using local_name() and namespace-uri(). My xpath-expert is not at work right now, so i can't help you more with this until he's back.
second problem... no real fix for now. some characters that indesign uses (indentToHere and rightIndentTab, as far as I know, but may be others too) have no UTF equivalent, so you get that warning. you can eitehr ignore it, or, as I do, before doing anything with XML in scripting, i change the said characters to some marking (##RIT## and ##ITH##), and change them back after changing the XML

Differentiate between quantity contract and value contract?

Hi,
How can i differentiate between quantity contract and value contract?
The agreement type of contract is is not MK or WK , its custom created.
regards
N Banu

Hi
In Qty Contract you limit the total quantity of items that required for you;
It sums the partial quantities of Release Orders with the Contract as a reference.
In a Value contract, you limit the total value of items to be required when
you create Release Orders with the Contract as a reference, that is you
don't work with the quantities as in the first case, but indeed with the
quantities multiplied by the unit price you fixed in the Contract

Crystal Reports 2008 failed to retrive data, and instead deleted it.

I have been using crystal reports 2008 for the past year or so with our billing software through an OBDC data source. I was using xp pro sp3. However I recently upgraded to a new computer running xp pro sp3 as well, and now I am having some serious issues.
When I try to connect to a data source in the database expert, it shows all the tables, and then the field explorer shows the fields, but when I actually try to brows the data, view a preview, verify the database, or refresh an old report it gives me an error and DELETES the .dat file that the field was located in. I am so glad I have regular backups to restore too, because pulling a report nuked 5 .dat files.
The errors I am getting are as follows:
"Failed to retrieve data from database."
Clicked ok
"Failed to retrieve data from database."
Clicked ok
"Database Connector Error: 'HY000:[Pervasive][ODBC Client Interface][LNA][Pervasive][ODBC Engine Interface][Data Record Manager]The file cannot be created with Variable-trail Allocation Tables (VATs)(Btrieve Error 105)'"
Clicked ok
"Failed to retrieve data from database.
Details:HY000:[Pervasive][ODBC Client Interface][LNA][Pervasive][ODBC Engine Interface]Unable to open table: <nameoftable>"
Click ok
and Crystal stays open but has just deleted the .dat file that the table was located in. It will still show the fields but no data. Trying to open the other software leads to an error "missing <name of table>.dat" It then has to be restored from a backup.
I have tried updating crystal as well as fully uninstalling it and reinstalling it, we have created a new ODBC connection, and cloned the database for testing purposes. The same thing occurs with the new database and ODBC data source.
We have no other computers, except my old one that has crystal reports on it. I have tried the old computer again and it is working fine.
Does anyone have an suggestions? This is pretty critical. Thanks in advance.
Edited by: Russellk on Jan 13, 2010 8:27 PM

Hello, you could try turning on ODBC tracing to see if it logs anything. It's a pain to get going but here's how.
Go to ODBC Admin, Click on the Tracing tab and create a log file and save. Don't start tracing yet. Close the ODBC admin and then re-open it and then turn tracing on. You may have to do this a few times to get it working.
Once it's tracing then open CR and try the demo data. Then close the report, log off, log onto the real data and do the same with a new report. You'll see a bunch of ODBC API's but there may be one or 2 that don't look right or errors may be logged compared to the DEMODATA.
Another suggestion is it may not be your PC doing the deleting. Maybe the Server thinks you have infected the data files and it's deleting them. Have a look in anti-virus quarantine logs on the server to see if it's doing the nasty....
Check the trust between your PC and the server.
I've also seen this type of odd behaviour with corrupted Profiles. Check with your IT guys on creating a new one for you, it's apain because you loose everything on your work station.
What happens if you log on from another PC using your account? Does that also delete the files? Or get someone else who it does work for log into your PC, does that work? If so it may be your Profile is either not trusted or it's been corrupted.
Good luck

HELP please provide similarities and differences between HTML DB and Portal

Hi, I have several years of experience with Oracle Technology as DBA and Developer (Forms and Reports mainly). I'm excited and willing to familiarize with new technologies like Portal and HTML DB. I've been reading about both products and it seems they share similar principles in their arquitecture: both use dynamic page concepts, templates, Wizard driven development, DB centric approach for building html apps, etc.
It seems like HTML DB is like some sort of "little brother" version of Portal. Can anyone portrait basic similarities and differences between these two products?.
Thanks ...!

"319071" and Doug:
The products have different purposes. Portal provides content aggregation, application integration and personalization. Together with the Oracle Application Server infrastructure you also get identity management capabilities such as a centralized LDAP-based user directory and Single Sign-On. HTML DB is a tool for rapid development of database centric web applications. Nothing more, nothing less. Portal allows you to bring together applications built using a variety of technologies. HTML DB is just one of those technologies that happens to be optimized for web development on an Oracle database.
Once you have built your application with HTML DB, you may choose to place a link to it on a portal page. You may even choose to make authentication seamless by making the HTML DB application a Single Sign-On partner application (see: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/htmldb/howtos/sso_partner_app.html). Or, you may want to display some data from a report developed in HTML DB inside a portlet (see: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/htmldb/howtos/omniportlet_index.html)
Granted, Portal does have database centric development capabilities (what used to be called WebDB), but they are not nearly as flexible as HTML DB's. HTML DB lets you control page flow while maintaining session state, has quite sophisticated report building capabilities such as column based sorting and pagination, form building capabilities such as declarative field level data validations, built in field level help, etc.
