HTML output format

CR supports different o/p formats like XML,pdf etc but I don't see any support for HTML o/p. why ?
This also brings me to another question . Is AJAX supported ?

I don't see any way to export to HTML format using either CR 2008 or using infoview which is unfortunate. Free open source tools like BIRT provide this option , so why not CR which is licensed.
CR 2008 also does not allow one to embed gif images.

Help with formatting parameters in html output?

Hi --
I would like to use a style sheet to adjust the way that javadoc displays lists of parameters below each method. In the HTML output, the code around the parameter name and description looks like this:
<dd><code>filterContainers</code> - True if the containers within the database
are to be considered individually during task assignment; false if the entire database is to be assigned as a single task.
</dd>
I apologize if this is basic CSS question, but I don't understand how to change the way 'filterContainers' is formatted -- maybe make it italic or something. I was also hoping to increase the padding below each parameter name/description because they seem to squished together.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Jen

Add this to stylesheet.css to make "filterContainers" italic:
dl dd dl dd code {
font-style: italic;
}This adds space below lines inside dd
dl dd dl dd {
padding-bottom: 3px;
}(You could change it to padding-top to add the space above instead.)
The sequence "dl dd dl dd code" is the nested hierarchy of HTML tags relative to body.
Here are the CSS elements defined above: (CSS 2.0)

Want text input containing HTML tags to appear as HTML in output format

Hi,
We have a table in Oracle database that has a column named detail,one of its values is like this: <bold><italics>Good Morning</italics></bold>. What our client wants is that the output format should show: Good Morning. That is,Bi Publisher should be able to parse the HTML tags and provide the desired output. Please tell me how to achieve this. Any help is much appreciated.

Formatted HTML output with Spry regions - is it possible?

I have recently begun using the XML export extension in
conjunction with an Access database to output dynamic data into a
page with a Spry master/detail setup. So far, my simple example is
going great, but I've run into a snag that I need some help with.
To explain what I'm doing - it's a simple article page with
the list of articles on the left with the title and date and the
article title and full contents on the right hand side. So far it's
all working very well, updating in real time when I click an
article title on the left. The problem is the output with this one
field which stores not only text, but also HTML formatting that is
generated by a wysiwyg editor used on the article creation side of
this little app. This HTML formatted content is the article body
and is stored in a field named the same - "body". With traditional
ASP, the HTML formatting displays as expected and all is well, but
with Spry, it doesn't output formatted HTML, but instead shows the
content and HTML code together as text. How can I get this one
field ("body") to be output so all the HTML formatting is shown?
This is my simple page example. Click through and you'll see
what I mean.
http://www.shoestodyefor.com/ajax.asp
Here's the section of code in question regarding the output
on that right hand panel where the body is displayed for each
article:
<div spry:detailregion="ds1">
{title} 
{entryDate} 
 
{body}
/div>
Is it possible to have that {body} section shown so the
dynamically created HTML code from the wysiwyg editor is displayed
correctly?

The version of Spry that ships with Dreamweaver CS3 (Spry
1.4) doesn't
support the type of output created by the XML Export
extension.
This issue has been corrected in Spry 1.5, but no plans have
been made
public for integrating Spry 1.5 into Dreamweaver CS3. You
would need to
download Spry 1.5 from
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/.

of how to hand-code the fix for output from XML Export are

Need Formatted html output from Xalan

We use xalan xslt processor to convert
xml document to html. Everything works
fine, except the output is unformatted html.
(ie. several HTML elements appear on the
same line. Some lines are longer than 1000
characters). This happens inspite of me
specifying the HTML elements in different
lines in the xsl.
I would like to know if there is any way, I can generate formatted html output.
Thanks

<xsl:output indent="yes"/>
in your stylesheet?

How to format html output of a servlet

What roughly I want:

<body>
<body>
<html>

I'd try
indent="yes" in your XSLT's<xsl:output .../>element.

Difference between pdf and html report format

Why HTML report printouts truncate from the right-end side, compare to the pdf report format ?, do i need to change anything
while running report through HTML format

The printing from html output is majorly affected by browser settings. Once you try to change the left and right margins in page setup before printing, I solved this problem in this way , it may work for you. Let me know if it works or if you overcome it by other ways.

Problem with Excel output format

Hi Guys,
I am creating a report in XML Publisher (not standalone). I am facing some problems could anyone please help me to figure out the issues.
Is it possible to have all three output format (PDF, HTML & EXCEL) exact (same aligned) only by creating a single RTF Template? I am facing the problem with Excel output format the output format of excel is taking excels cell formatting.
Example Numeric fields --> Right Aligned, text fields --> Left Aligned
One more issue with excel is -ve(negative) values are getting displayed in red and in brackets like ($13) (with red color).
Our client want excel output on priority.

It is very urgent for us please help.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi Mahi,
Thanks for your response. But i could not understand how can we write wrapper program could you please give some light on this or provide some link it would be helpful for me:-)
I have read that blog for excel limitations but i have more question?
1) What about the negative values?
if any field is displaying negative amount then excel not displaying right value for that:(
2)How can we align header or data?
Do XMLP with EBS provide any solution for formatting in excel?
3) If for the alignment of numeric value we concatenate them with any special character then how can we perform calculation that field?
Here are so many formatting issues do we need to write any code in xml for that?
Please help.
Many Thanks,
Pragati

Reports 3/6i HTML Output Print problem

Hi!
I am using Reports 3 to generate HTML output but when I print this HTML output, it does not break at Oracle Reports Page break. It looks like the browser takes its default settings for margins. I am using IE 5.5.
I tried the following options
1. Using { page-break-after: always } option in 'After Page Value' of Report Escapes property (Report)
2. Changing margin settings of browser, but was not able to change them to 0.
I want to print the HTML report with page breaks where Oracle marks as Page Break.
If possible, Please do write me at [email protected]
Thanks,
Praveen Kumar

Praveen,
When you generate a HTML page in Reports, you are generating a single page document that is then intepretted by the browser. You are correct that when you then print this page from the browser then it will not necessarily break at the same point as the reports page breaks.
The only way to guarantee that you will get the same breaks is to use a different format. Most commonly people use PDF format when they want the printed page to match exactly what's on the screen. Alternatively you could include a link on the HTML rendition of the report that resubmits the report to the server but instructs the server to print the report directly.
Hope this helps,
Danny

Can SQL Developer be used for Oracle Support "HTML Output" Diag Scripts ?

Hi All,
Oracle Support has asked me to run a diagnostic script (OTL_Diag.sql for anyone familar with the script) that produces output in HTML format using SQL*Plus to help troubleshoot an OTL problem we are having. Unfortunately I don't have SQL*Plus installed and my company is not on board with me installing it because of the SQL*NET connection required. Instead I have access to SQL Developer 3.1.0.7. While this works fine for most situations I'm having problems generating the required .html output file that Support needs.
I've tried runing the OTL_Diag.sql a couple of ways using SQL Developer. First, I opened the file from SQL Developer and using the Run Script functionality (F5) I executed the code that way. This method did give me an opportunity to input the necessary parms and it did create the 'start' of the HTML file on my (Windows) file system, but the script seemed to abort with a java error that indicated some sort of format error (sorry, I'm not a java person so I can't provide any more info, but I'll be glad to get the exact error message if anyone thinks that will help solve my issue).
My second approach was to open a SQL Window where I typed in @C:\OTL_Diag.sql without quotes. This approach also gave me the opportunity to enter the necessary input parms and it seemed to end normally. It also created the 'start' of the diaganostic output file on my Windows file system, but it 'completed' before any of the 'real' diaganostic output was written to the .html file.
The Metalink note clearly specifies that the OTL_Diag.sql script is to be run with SQL*Plus 10.2 or above so I don't think I can complain too loudly to Oracle about this...but given that I don't have access to this product (and it is useless for me to again ask to install it) I am hoping someone out there has some ideas or insight as to how I can use SQL Developer to execute this diag script in a manner that will produce the required .html output file.
Thanks in advance to anyone taking time to read my post !!
Jeff

As a result, at this point in time my only available tool to run the OTL_Diag.sql script (provided by Oracle Support) is SQL Developer
>
Then you will have to edit the script, break it into pieces, execute each piece manually and save the output to feed into the next piece as required based on what the script is actually doing. Don't post the script or contents as that will likely violate your support agreement.
As I already mentioned the script may be using syntax and/or commands that are simply not supported by sql*developer. One likely area is the script may be producing intermediate output scripts that are then processed by a later portion of the script. If that is the case then my suggestion to execute the pieces manually should work but you will need to do some trial-and-error to see.
Even if you appear to be successful you will still have an issue when you communicate the results of your 'test' to Oracle support and they determine you didn't follow their instructions to use the proper tool.
Sounds like your management is either ignorant or incompetent so I suggest you cover yourself by documentating the instructions from Oracle support and the direct orders you were given to disregard those instructions. No need to discuss that issue further but clearly there are resources available somewhere in the org that has the proper privileges or they wouldn't be able to maintain and support the database. If they want to pay for support they should heed their advice. Nuff said.

Tabs in HTML output

We have a very large RoboHelp for Word project (24 source
files, 2500 topics). Do to Vista issues we are converting from
WinHelp to HTML output.
In the Word source files, allignment (within lines) is
controlled by left Tabs. The WinHlep output is fine. It appears the
the tabs (as well as multiple spaces) are ignored in the
HTMLoutput. A review of the HTML spurce code reveals that tabs are
coverted to &nbsp on compilation.
What are my options?

> I do suppose there is always the option of continuing to
author using RoboHelp for Word. After all, you may use this

are creating HTML outputs you may as well be using a

With all due respect, Rick (and much is indeed due in the
right contexts) this doesn't help the original poster. The tabs
issue is as you point out a quirk of the HTML world, and the only
benefit of moving to an HTML editor in that respect is to make it
apparent up front that tabs can't be handled sensibly. As you say,
get used to it - if you are using HTML-based output, you can't line
things up with tabs. You can use tables, but that's a major editing
operation with 2500 topics whatever tool you are using to write the
help. I suppose the dignity of the problem depends on how important
the lining up is in the final output.
I may be reactionary, but I stick to Robohelp for Word even
when I am generating Webhelp format. Sure, there are drawbacks, but
IMHO Word offers a vastly superior authoring environment to
one-topic-at-a-time HTML editors. The HTML editor might be a tool
created to work with HTML files, but that doesn't automatically
mean it's a good tool for the job.

Image path in HTML output

Hi all,
I'm trying to deliver a BI report using the ftp device.
The report is delivered in HTML format correctly, but
when I try to open it, images that should display charts
are not visible.
Giving a look at the HTML code I've noticed that the image
source path is:
<img src="/xmlpserver/xdo/tmp/xdoimgZA4ql3v7Hz31567.gif">
which is not the correct path.
Is there a way to automatically set that path when the
report is delivered?
Thank you in advance,
Roberto

If you were to output the same report as PDF instead of HTML, I'm guessing the PDF file would contain the actual image. (Am I right anyone?) However, when you output as HTML, there is no way to embed an image in the HTML output.
HTML can only reference external images via URLs, so it appears from your output HTML code that BI Publisher creates a temporary GIF image and allows it to be referenced via that unique URL. Who knows how long that URL is valid?
After you FTP the output to another server, the <img src> reference is no longer valid, because the path in the src attribute is relative to the HTML file itself. The FTP'd report might show the image if you edit the HTML file so the src attribute includes the full URL to the image:
<img src="http://bi.publisher.host:port/xmlpserver/xdo/tmp/xdoimgZA4ql3v7Hz31567.gif"/>
But again, how long does BI Publisher cache the image, and how long until the login session times out so you can no longer access it anyway? Note that you would have to use the same browser session to view the FTP'd report as was used to run the report in the first place. In other words, run the BIP report initially using a browser on the host that is the FTP destination for the report. Then edit the <img> tag, and finally open the HTML file in the same browser.
A note to other readers: Images in RTF templates are often used as mere placeholders for charts created when the report is run. It is the "Alternate Text" assigned to the dummy image that tells the XSL-FO processor how to replace the image with a chart displaying the report output data.
