No underline is visible in pivot view of a report.

Question

Hi,
I have report in which I have used GOURL. When I click on the result, underline is showing under the result in Table view unless underline is set for Effect in Column Properties->Style of the column. But for the same report, no under is showing for the that column in Pivot view. When i set underline for Effect in Column Properties->Style of that column, its showing underline.
Why it is like this? can any one explain me please.
Thank you,
Jagadeesha

Hi,
When you implement GoURL it would imply you are using anchor tags i.e. <a>...</a> in your column formula. By Default, obiee displays underlines for any columns having anchor tags in Table view. But in case of Pivot Table, for all such columns (which contains anchor tags), the underline is disabled. This can be observed in the views.css file which is used by obiee for rendering style to different views.
If you are on 10g, you can try this. Just add a static text to your report with below content (enable HTML markup):
<style>
.PivotTable A:link, {
text-decoration:underline;
</style>
Once you add this static text view to your report (along with table and pivot view) you will observe that the underline below the columns would be displayed by default in pivot view too.
Thanks
