EL support in regular HTML tags?

Is there something that would support EL-type expressions (${expr})within regular HTML tags? I've looked at JSTL, but it only support expressions within its own tags. But if I, for example, want to provide a dynamic value to a form field, I still have to resort to ugly things like <input type="text" value="<c:out var="name">"> while what I'd rather have is something like <input type="text" value="${name}">. Or do I simply misunderstand something?

How can this be done?

HTML Tags in Crystal

Hello All,
Since my replies were deleted for some unknown reason from the feature requests thread,
I Thought that i might be missing something and Maybe someone can shed some light on this issue for me...
We're using Sql Server 2008 to store our data, in some tables we're using varchar(max) as data type and we store huge HTMLs inside them.
unfortunately, crystal reports support text length only up to 65534, which give's us a big headache because we have to use our own workaround to cut these huge HTMLs in 65k chunks and yet make them look as if they were in one piece.
What we can't work around, is the lack of support in basic HTML Tags, such as <TABLE>.
every text that was originaly authored inside a table tag, will be stripped down from the table to a messed text...
Does anyone have a solution/workaround for this issue? we desperately need the ability to display this HTML element in the report, but for now we're unable to.
Please help, Thank you.

hey Muskito,
there is another method that you can try. there is an option to activate Pass Through HTML which will then allow fields and formulae containing html to show up as html. the activation of Pass Through HTML is a supported feature of businessobjects enterprise since version xi.
before you waste too much time on this, here are the limitations:
1) you cannot export the html as html...i.e. if you export a report with pass through html the html will show up as text instead of html
2) you cannot use the crystal reports viewer print option...sometimes the browser print functionality will suffice
3) paging can be an issue as the cr print engine doesn't know the sizing of the html being printed
to see how to activate pass through html, go to the webelements page [here |Crystal Reports webElements]and download the files...in the User Guide there are instructions on how to activate pass through html on your system.
cheers,
jamie

HTML Tags in the Webdynpro ABAP

Hi Experts,
How to create a html page in the webdynpro ABAP, we have existing page in the HTML format. I have tried the Formatted Text View it is not supporting all existing HTML tags like <table>
.Can u suggest me how to integrate the HTML in the Application ...

As you stated, the SAP recommendation is to not use iFrames. That UI element is depricated. The recommended solution is to use the NetWeaver Portal or NetWeaver Business Client. You create two iViews and place them both in the same page if you need to mix Web Dynpro with more free form HTML coding. The one iView can be Web Dynpro and the other can be one of many types of technologies (static HTML, BSP, JSP, JSF, ASP.NET, etc). You can use portal eventing to communicate between these two separete iViews if needed.

JSF tags within normal HTML tags (jsfc attribute)

Hi all,
I was just browsing some JSF and Acegi information and I found the following tutorial:
http://www.javakaffee.de/blog/2006/07/04/jsfacegi-authentication-with-a-backing-bean/
In it, the author uses regular html tags but with attributes that allow JSF functionality.
<input jsfc="h:inputText" id="inputUsername" value="#{authenticationController.username}" />I have never seen JSF done like this, could anyone inform me as to what is the jsfc property is?
Thanks!

Ah, I found out my query. It's a feature in Facelets I believe. The link below has the info.

Java Regular Expression to grab html tags

Dear all,
I have written a regular expression in java to grab the pairs of html tags in a String. It worked fine except that it cannot handle space or new line. What have I done wrong?
My regular expression (I would use <tr></tr> as an example):
<tr[^>]*>(.*?)</tr>
It would work for <tr><one>two<three></tr>
but not <tr ><one>two<three></tr>
or <tr> <one> two <three></tr>
or <tr>
<one>two<three>
</tr>
Thanks a lot in advance

I have written a regular expression in java to grab the pairs of html tags in a String. I'll make one last-ditch suggestion that you grab a decent HTML parser, as the HTML specification allows for HTML tags that don't come in pairs. While I'm sure you will be able to eventually write regexes to handle this, it may be easier (depending on your requirements) to use tools to parse the HTML.
Good luck!

HTML Tags not moved in PDF

Hello,
I would like to print a report as a PDF and use the BI Publisher.
This functions so far also quite well, only I have the problem
I pass a HTML formatted text from a field CLob
and with the PDF output the HTML tags are not moved.
In the PDF document the HTML tags stands instead of a formatted heading,
e.g.
<*h1> This is the heading <*/h1> (without stars)
What I must set / make with it I also a formatted one
Heading agrees?
Somebody an idea?

True - a PDF isn't going to support HTML encoding. HTML will just be seen as more text, and displayed that way.
You can strip out HTML tags fairly easily with a regular expression in your query SQL - this simply looks for text between < and > characters, and removes it. That should work for basic HTML formatting tags, but it isn't 100% (it won't handle <script> blocks correctly, for instance).
select regexp_replace(myHTML, '<[^>]*>', '') as myText
from myTable... Implementing a method to convert the HTML formatting into RTF formatting is also possible, but not a trivial task - you'd effectively have to replace each HTML tag with an RTF equivalent -- eg, replace <H1> with the RTF code to make a larger font, replace </H1> with RTF code to return the font to normal... etc...

Need to copy Data from a specific Html Tag

Hello,
I am trying to use CF to access website and capture data from a specific tag to the end of that tag and store same in a csv file or database.
The tag based search of an open file is where I am not able to get any head way. Any one has done this?

You'll need to use a regular expression for that. CF supports regular expressions with the REFind, REFindNoCase and REReplace functions. Here's an example of using regular expressions to capture the value within an HTML tag:
http://www.javamex.com/tutorials/regular_expressions/example_scraping_html.shtml
It's in Java, but the syntax for regular expressions is the same in CF.

And that is a critical distinction to make. HTML parsing is horribly complex. XML is quite easy. For HTML you have to code your own parser in PL/SQL. XML can be parsed using the XMLTYPE class/data type in PL/SQL.
So if you need to find a single specific tag in HTML - I would not try to treat it as XML. I may not even try to use regular expressions.
I would do a basic substring search for the start of the tag. Read the data following the tag. Ensure that there are no nested or embedded tags in the data. Until the end tag is read. Because HTML is that much abused - and because that is an accepted norm as parsers used by browsers deals with that abuse without complaining.
Proper HTML is mostly a myth in my experience of "screen scraping" web servers for data extraction as they do not have web services supplying the data.

How to use Microsoft Word's Find and Replace with HTML tags?

Hello to all!
I'm trying to figure out how to use the find and replace function in Word to replace html tags. I'd like to be able to change something like this:
random text
To something like this:
random text
I want to replace the open and close tags without changing or interfering with the text between the tags. I'm pretty sure I should use wildcards, but I can't figure out how to use them properly.
Anyone able to lend a hand?

Here is my latest regular expression with Perl. I think it matches the spirit of the request in the original post.
Note, this isn't as easy as you think. You need to code up the complete set of html rules in you implementation. You need to allow for a certain amount of mal-formed html.

test case: I have a rich text field that stores html tags in the database. I have created a data model using sql query and am selecting rich text field from the database. When trying to display that field on the report in BI publisher I get the html tags.
I even tried Tim Dexter solution mentioned in the below blog but now when I run the report nothing shows up for that rich text field in the report. I am not sure if I am missing any steps while using html2fo.

Issue with HTML tags visible in Outlook emails

Hi everyone, I'm having an issue with a website I'm working on.
On our site, we have a page that generates emails after certain events occur. These are sent to a forwarding address on our mail server, which is then sent to several users on our mail server. These users have their accounts set up in Outlook (one in 2007,
one in Mac 2011).
We're are having an issue where these emails are displaying in Outlook with all of the HTML tags in the email visible. One of the users spoke to Microsoft support, and they remoted in and went through their Outlook settings and were not able to find any issues
there.
This issue is not global exactly. When one of the users added their email to their iPhone, the email displayed correctly. We added a Gmail account and my work account (which I also access through Outlook) to the forwarding list, and it displayed correctly in
both. When we view these emails in the server's webmail client, the emails display fine. The issue seems to be with some discrepancy between Outlook and our email server.
I spoke to our webhost about the issue, and they swore up and down the issue had nothing to do with them, and that it had to be an Outlook issue. I've had several professional web developers analyze the code that creates these emails, and they found nothing
wrong with it. Something that several of my colleagues and our webhost suggested is that the issue could be with the email headers. This is the header for the email, as viewed through Outlook:

XML with HTML Tags... (easy points) 11g question

Dear Programming Gods,
I have been researching this for about 2 weeks now, and I have hit the final road block.
Using BI Publisher 11.1.1
In APEX 4.0 I have a Rich Text Field. The data from the Rich Text Field is store in CLOB. The data has HTML formatting tags. I have a data model that selects the data. I create an xml which has the html tags. I export the xml and import it into MS Word using the BI Publisher add-in. I import my subtemplate which handles almost all of the formatting tags. I apply the template to the CLOB field so that the HTML formatting tags will be rendered when printed.
The problem is this. The subtemplate is looking for this < and / > however BI publisher convters the tags stored in the CLOB from raw html tags to this &.lt; and &.gt; so the subtemplate can not match to it.
Here is what I need to figure out and please explain it in very novice terms.
When I generate and export the XML from BI Publisher how do I prevent it from converting my raw tags?
Here is some further assistance when prepairing your answer.
My subtemplate is based on the htmlmarkup.xsl from the following blog but has been modified heavily to include support for simple tables, more formatting such as subscripts and superscripts, ect...
http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2007/01/formatting_html_with_templates.html
I am also familliar with this blog but I do not understand how to implement it using BI 11g.
http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2009/08/raw_data.html
I have tried adding this to my layout but it doesnt seem to work.
<xsl: element name="R_CLOB" dataType="xdo:xml" value="R_CLOB" / >
Please, help me. I have to have this working in 4 days.

Problem removing html tags from the text retrived

Hi there,
I am using jdbc to connect the database and retriving the data. In one of the columns along with the description there are some html tags in few of the recors of that column. is there a way to retrive the text only ignoring the html tags in between. Or can i retrive and then strip off the html code in the text to display only normal text.
example of the data retrived which are pipe seperated and one of the columns has html tags in it:
209|The euphoria |187945-2|http://www.abc/lst.jsp?mktgChannel=I86023&sku=18791-2&siteID=qpF0HYnRugA|http://www.abc.com/assets/images/product/medium/18793-2_198.jpg|Rooftop Singers: Walk Right In | abc Music proudly presents THE FOLK YEARS, an unforgettable era in music history! Featuring: 
<LI>The most complete collection of folk and folk-rock songs ever put together -- 132 classics!
<LI>Original hits by the original artists!
Now i need to remove the tags before displaying this on the output. Is there a simple way to do this.
Thanks...

Did you read the documentation of the trim() method,
where it describes which whitespace it removes?I believe his problem is that
"Some text here
<blah>
More text"becomes
"Some text here
More text"... and he wants ...
"Some text here
More text"So, your problem is that your regex isn't matching whitespace as well.
See the "Trimming Whitespace" section:

Wls 8.1 sp2: weblogic.jspc complains about struts-html tags

 'server' is a string and the parameter in the setter is a string. I read about
 the jspc errors in wls 8.1 about the setter parameter being of different type

 What version of Struts are you trying to use?
 Are you certain you're not encountering a different instance of that class in
 an unexpected location in your classpath?
