Embedding html tags within a report

I have an interactive report in which I'd like to indicate new table entries.
I have a case statement on a column that checks the date that the entry was added and if it was added recently I concatenate a gif to the column value which indicates "New" entry. This works great in a standard report but when I add the code snippet to an interactive report it displays the html img tag rather than the actual image. Can anyone tell what I need to do to cause the report to render the image rather than just display the html tag?
Thanks.

Hello,
In your Report Attributes, make sure that your columns Display Text As is set to Standard Report Column. I expect it's set to display as text?
Regards,
Dimitri

Html tags within a report link

I have data in a table that looks like this:
This item has a footnote <sup>1</sup>
I would like to use this item as the link in a report. When I show it, though, htmldb strips out the <sup> and </sup> tags. Why?
Thanks,
a-

For readers:
A column selected in a report query was to be formatted by the reporting engine as a link and the column value was to be used as the link text. The data fetched from the column contained HTML. But the HTML part of the column value did not appear in the page as part of the link text while the rest of the column value did appear.
The reason is that the reporting engine explicitly strips HTML from link targets and link text for columns that specify the link formatting option.

How to use the HTML tags in the reports.

hi.
can any one tell me how to use the HTML tags in the reports.
i m using the forms 10 g rel 2 and reports 10 g rel 2 and application server 10g rel 2.

Set the Contains HTML Tags property of an object to Yes, then the tags in the object's text (if any) will be used to format the object.

Replace HTML tags within column values

Hi Gurus,
I have a requirement where I have some text which has HTML tags inserted within it and I need to insert either Presentation variable or a GO URL replacing that tag. Problem is that this text is value of a column from table. It is not something which I type( because the text can change dynamically). e.g
Column header: Main Text
Row1: <<COMPANY_NAME>>
Row2: As of <<AF_OF_DATE>>
instead of <<COMPANY_NAME>> and <<AS_OF_DATE>>, I need to insert amounts from another table which have this unique tags and associated amounts. Can this be done?
I have to these columns in different places throughout the report in narrative views. e.g
1st narrative view will have only column 1 and row 1 and row 2.. 2nd narrative view will have only column 3 and row1...
This is really really important part of a report. So please help me out with ideas.
Thanks,
Dan

I tried calling the column in a narrative view and the result looks like :
As of <<AS_OF_DATE>>. how can I replace "<<AS_OF_DATE>>" with a value?

How to exlcude HTML Tags from Excel Reports

Hi Guys
Within Project Online - OData extract to Excel
Has anyone found a way to eliminate the HTML tags from Multi Line Text fields within Project Server? I can easily extract the text and generate nice Excel Reports, but the html tag is very annoying in the Excel Reports and it doesn't read easily.
Any help would be appreciated.

Marc,
What you could do (given that you find the required time and energy to write the lines),
would be to replace all (!) html characters like here (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14705605/remove-html-tags-from-cell-strings-excel-formula -
this is one of the Excel UDF/VB-based solutions, but will not refresh in Excel Services - however there is a good list of what to replace) with PowerQuery.
That would refresh over a PowerBI subscription in the least..

HTML tags in BIP Report

Hi,
I have a BI Report which is based on OBIEE analysis report.
There is one column which contains HTML Data as stored in the database.
This column contains data with "<p>" tags
In the OBIEE analysis, I have converted the data format of this column to 'HTML' and the OBIEE report shows only the text i.e'test data' in this case.
But the BIP report still shows the data in the way the data is stored in the database.
Is there a way in BI Publisher where the data will be changed to normal text rather than HTML?

Hi Avinash,
I tried thesame thing. I am able to see html data n CSV format, and data in xml format
when I select other than these two fotrmats, it is givng error.
Error: The report cannot be rendered because of an error, please contact the administrator.
Thanks.

Html tags in oracle reports

If fields of tables in my database contain html tags such as 'H2O' (here is html tag 'sub') or 'sometext'(here is html tag 'b') how can I to make Report Builder 6i to understand these tags? In other words - can Report Builder understand and treat html tags to format output layout?
Or how in another way I can format a part of text inside the field?
Example:
The below text comes from database and contains html tags.
<B> THIS IS DEMO TEXT TO TEST HTML TAGES IN REPORTS </B>
<TD ><B><FONT COLOR="#336699" FACE="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" SIZE="2">Technology Centers
</FONT></B></TD>
<html><body dir=&Direction bgcolor="#ffffff"> </body></html>
<html><body dir=&Direction bgcolor="#ffffff">this is test</body></html>

Hello Learnotd,
Depending on your requirements, you can do one of the following:
1. In Reports Builder, you can set the default values for the DESFORMAT system parameter to HTML, DESTYPE to FILE and DESNAME to the desired output file name, in the object navigator. Now, running the report will generate it to the HTML file, instead of displaying it in the previewer.
2. If you are using the command-line executables, 'destype=file' and 'desformat=html' arguments will produce HTML output (using rwcli60, rwcgi60 or rwrun60) to the file specified by desname.
3. If you calling Reports from Forms, desformat=html should be included in the run_report_object call.
Thanks,

Embedding DMS Documents within CG42 Report Template

Hi All,
We are using EH&S and DMS and would like to combine these two into a CG42 report template. Through CG02, we have created specifications where we would like to have some value assignments instances take advantage of the user-defined text tab to pull in documents from DMS. We have configured the system to successfully link in the DMS document info record into the user-defined tab within the value assignment area of CG02 and can view the DMS documents by double clicking on that reference.
In taking this to the next step, we would like to embed this document into our report template definition. Mind you that some of these documents are .pdf containing text and graphics. Within CG42, we go to the specification symbol that we want and open the area called ADDITIONAL INFO, which then opens to other symbols, one of which is "ESTDF Additional Information - User-Defined Text". When we open that node, it provides us with many attributes as options that we can embed within the report template. The only one that relates to content is "GESTDHEADE HEADER Start of UD Text ". It appears that all this does is just repeat the link that was specified in CG0 when we use the command to include that in the report template and then do a preview on the report.
In reading some SAP Help Documentation in the section for user-defined text, I'm led to believe that you can embed these into the report template but I have not been able to do so thus far. The only thing I can do is embed information about the user-defined text into the report template.
Can someone shed some light if this is feasible?
By the way, we are already embedding graphic logos by relating it to a phrase and keeping these images in a folder on a file server. If we must, we can use that approach but I'd really lile to keep these documents in DMS as a controlled document.
Thanks!

Escaping HTML tags in Excel report export

Hello,
I have a classic report on an entry form that allows users to enter any character off the keyboard into a description field. The problem is that when users enter brackets ( greater than , less than ), APEX will handle them as HTML tags ( does not display all the text after the less than character) . I tried to change that column type to "display as text , escape special characters" but that did not help. So I had to user the htf.escape_sc function for that column and the report works just fine.
however, the problem is that none of the solutions above worked for Excel export of that report. Can anybody tell me how to escape such special characters in the excel export of a report ???
Thanks,
Sam

Where are the experts! it makes me feel like either no body has had this issue before (which seems odd) or that it is impossible to be resolved. Any suggestions will be appreciated..

HTML Tags within Javascript Errors

Hi,
Is there a way to insert html tags (<b>Bold Text Here</b>), inside a javascript string in the <script> tag, without any Validation errors? I read to put a backslash at the beginning of each html tags to prevent the string from being parsed as markup (<\b>Bold Text Here<\/b>). Errors goes away, but bold texts too !
Anyone can help me on this one ... I'm not a javascript Guru ...
Thanks !

All wrong... Correct string notation always requires single or double quotation marks:
"\b this is a string"
\b this is garbage
Additionally, whan you escape characvters, each one must be escvaped separately:
\b ... \/\b

Hi Ram,
You can create a postscript file or a PDF file and give that
to the print shop for printing. It's pretty easy. Go to the File
menu, choose Generate to File, and then choose Postscript or PDF.
Note that Reports will use the driver for the printer to which
you are connected at the time you generate the file. You may have
to do some tests to make sure that that printer driver is
compatible with that of the print shop. I would generate a test
file from Reports and see if it works with their printer.

PDF printing with embedded HTML

Hi all.... I am running Apex 4.0.2.00.07 on 10.2.0.4.
I have a report that looks beautiful on a web page
it's in in an interactive report with a 2 level grouping
the data is 4 columns
image, html table, image, html table
The image is not stored in the database, it's in an images folder that I use the following code to display
<pre>
<img class="mainimage" src="/images/112045_cha.jpg" border=0>
</pre>
As for the class, that's in a css at the top
<pre>
<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
.mainimage {
max-width: 200px;
max-height: 200px;
width: expression(this.width > 200 ? "200px" : true);
height: expression(this.height > 200 ? "200px" : true);
</STYLE>
</pre>
When i look at it in the report, it looks nice, but my requirement is a need to print it.
If i just print it from the browser, my rows don't line up at page breaks.
If I export to HTML, my images don't retain the css tag and are too big (also the breaks are not honored)
If I export to PDF, the breaks are not honored and the HTML is displayed (the img tags and the table displaying the data).
I have FOP configured, BI Publisher is not an option due to budget.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Check this link,

You can use portalpagenav function and refrence the target report in the column data format instead of go url.

How to remove html tags from a column

Hi
Problem is this: I get a column with a comma separated list of id's and I can successfully parse these id's and use them elsewhere. BUT, occasionally there are html tags within that id list like this:
1082471,1237423<br xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" />
Is there a way to just automatically remove all tags from a column? Could do this with regex, but since there is no support, I don't know what to do.

Hi,
If the HTML can be detected by a starting symbol like „<“, then you could use the following:
Unfortuntely the operation “ReplaceRange” is only available on a Text-level, so you have to invoke a function (at least to my knowledge). You also need an Index-column in your table, so if you don’t have it, you need to create one as well.
This is your function:
let
   fnRemoveHTML = (Value, Index) =>
let
   Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Tabelle1"]}[Content],
   IndeNo = Index,
   Value_ = Source{IndeNo-1}[Value],
   length = Text.Length(Text.From(Value_)),
   position = Text.PositionOf(Text.From(Value_), "<"),
   range = length-position,
   new= if Value_ is number then Value_ else Text.ReplaceRange(Value_, position, range, "")
in
    new
in
fnRemoveHTML
And this is how you invoke it:
let
    Quelle = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Tabelle1"]}[Content],
    Last = Table.AddColumn(Quelle, "Custom", each fn_RemoveHTML([Value], [Index])),
    ChangedType = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Last,{{"Custom", type number}})
in
    ChangedType
Provided your table is called “Tabelle1” & the column with your values to be replaced “Value” & your index-col “Index”

Designing Embedded HTML Page with iWeb

I designed a html page with with an embedded html page within it. It all looks fine in iWeb, but when I upload the page to the intenet and I try to view this page it does not come up properly. Although I initially see the page come up as I designed it (for a fraction of a second) it then disapears and I only see the page I embedded on my page.
I added the following codes in HTML Snippet:
<object data=http://www.mls.ca/PropertyResults.aspx?&vs=Residential&ret=300&curPage=PropertySearch.a spx&sts=0-0&beds=0-0&baths=0-0&bt=1%2c16%2c17&atsg=%2c&ci=cartierville&pro=4&mp= 500000-0-0&mrt=0-0-4&trt=2&of=1&ps=10&o=D width="600" height="400"> <embed src=http://www.mls.ca/PropertyResults.aspx?&vs=Residential&ret=300&curPage=PropertySearch.a spx&sts=0-0&beds=0-0&baths=0-0&bt=1%2c16%2c17&atsg=%2c&ci=cartierville&pro=4&mp= 500000-0-0&mrt=0-0-4&trt=2&of=1&ps=10&o=D width="600" height="400"> </embed> Embedd a web page within another web page. </object>

As I said, the above pages come up fine in iWeb but not when I search them with Sagari.
Can someone please help with this. Thanks, Padano

This is the proper code :
<iframe src="http://url.to.file.html" frameborder="0" width="500" height="500" scrolling="no" allowTransparency="true"></iframe>
You can also use this :
<div style="width: 650px; height: 650px">
<script language="JavaScript">
location.replace('../../../your files.html');
</script>
</div>
Source : iframe alternative in the HTML Snippet

HTMLdb upgrade to 2.0 and embedded html

I have upgraded to version 2.0 from 1.5. There are locations within the site that place html tags within the variables (like <a href=...). These tags are no longer parsed as html, they are displayed as text now. I found that if I make sure the variable does not save state the html is then parsed. I think this is probably an issue.
Any ideas how I can get the html to work by convincing 2.0 to act like 1.5 ?

Hello James,
Did you apply the PL/SQL Web Toolkit patch to your database? You can find it with the HTML DB v2.0 installation files under the patch directory.
You can read some more on the following thread: NLS support problems when using AL32UTF8 in dads.conf
Hope this helps,
