Smartform - problem in displaying text in a page

Hi experts,
     I am developing an invoice printing in smartforms.Here i am facing one problem.
i am displaying line items in a table in the footer window.In that table footer i am displaying some text (text contains 8 lines).
      Here if the number of line items are below 3 the text in the footer of the table printing correctly in the 2nd page.
     But if the number of line items are above 3 the text in the footer of the table in footer window is not printing correctly (4 lines in the text is printing in 2nd page remaining 4 lines are not moving to 3rd page).
Regards,
Navaneeth.

Hi
Generally we use MAIN WINDOW for printing the line itesm data which is not constant.
Depending on lines it moves to next page.
You are saying that you are using footer window. It seems that you have taken the height of that window as 3 Lines
where you wants to print the lines if it is more than 3 ? naturally it goes to next page.
So you increase the footer window height to a max of the line items, or reduce font.but even if it is not a constant data naturally it goes to next page.
You have to use the footer window for printing some constant data in the footer like Signature, and address etc.

Problem with displaying text in flash player

I have flash player 10.2.152.26 and opera 11.01 installed.
The problem is that text in flash is diplayed in an awful way like this:
http://img651.imageshack.us/img651/6918/alljo.png
And when i choose "settings" the window appears, but it doesn't react when I click on it.
Can anyone help, please?

Thanks for answering
So you have IE8 and the hardware acceleration was able to be UNchecked and FP(Flash Player) is working properly with IE.
In IE flash works fine with any settings.
When I unchecked "Hardware acceleration" checbox in IE it also became unchecked in opera, but nothing changed in opera's behavior.
When you don't use the Aero it's displayed correctly but the settings do not work. What settings are you referring to?
It's about flash settings in Opera
With aero: http://img443.imageshack.us/i/settingsh.png/
Without aero: http://img816.imageshack.us/i/settingswoaero.png/
In both cases the settings dialog is displayed like in the screenshots above, but when I click on checkbox/tabs/'close' button in it nothing happens. I can't change any settings or close it (dialog disappers only after reloading page)
Just to sum up everything mentioned above:
- In IE flash works fine regardless of any settings
- In Opera text is displayed wrong when using windows aero, and without aero theme it's displayed correct
- I didn't manage to make settings dialog work in Opera
- When I change some flash settings in IE, they are also changed in Opera
Now Flash Player works thru the browser, do you have perhaps have an addon that is conflicting? What Anti-Virus do you have Installed? Any addons of that?
I have 7 extensions installed in Opera, I've disabled all of them, but nothing changed.
I use Kaspersky Internet Security 2011, disabling it also gives nothing.

While populating in an internal table it is having a all the data(Around 700 char data). But while displaying in a smartform surprizingly only few characters(Around 225 char data). How can i overcome this problem?

Hi
try this and see
Declare some Variables of 72 char each and split that long string data of internal table text field into them and display these variables strings one below other in smartform
var1 = itab-text+0(72)
var2 = itab-text+72(72)

Problem in displaying text in smartform

Hi,
In my smartform, In a text element I have written a text like below.
Reference Number ,,,, &v_ref& ,,,, Date Received ,,,,&v_date&
Now v_ref can be max of 23 characters. When it is of 23 characters, it is showing fine in output.
But when it is <23 i.e.10 or 11 characters, the allignment is misplaced. So I am thinking in that case
I will append blank space after the value upto 23 characters. I have tried several ways to add blank
spaces but in the output it is not considering the space and still the problem remains.
I want you guys help to resolve my problem.

Hi,
For this there is Two solutions :
1. Create One paragraph format in smart Styles by providing required Tab Spaces and assign it to Text node.
2.Use a Template that contain two columns with required length.
Better is Use Template for future modifications.

Firefox doesn't display text properly on pages created with email marketing tool (Constant Contact).

Pages that are built with Constant Contact email marketing application don't display correctly. Different sections of text, usually a paragraph or list group, are readable but "shaded out." This is happening on Mac and Windows platforms.
The pages are built using standard HTML tags and the problem doesn't appear with other browsers.

Can you post a link to one or more of such pages?
* "Clear the Cache": Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
* "Remove the Cookies" from sites that cause problems: Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Has anyone encourage this issue? What can I do? remember is a smartform.
please help us!!
thanx

Guys.
Remember that the columns header won't be printed only if the lines per account continues. I mean, the column header printing depends on the number of lines that are being printed.
If at the end of a previous page the list (for example the positions that belong to this account) still continues for an account, then in the next page the column header musn't be printed, just only continue printing the rest of the positions. As you notice this case would be found in any number of pages during the rest of the report.
I'm agree with all your solutions but this only functionin some cases for the first page.
I look forward to hearing from you.
If I'm clear now, please help me!
Thanks guys!

Problem in displaying image on jsp page

I want to display an image on jsp page.I copied the image the image in WebContent folder.
I am able to see the image on the design pane when using the following code:-
<img src="/image.gif" height="50" width="50"> but when i run it in the browser nothing gets diplsyed.
also when i use the image container and select the source option that image is not displayed in the WebContents file..plz help.

Hi,
Seems that the Problem is there with the way how you specifuied the Image relative Path:
You have specified the below: The opath of image starts with (/) forward slash:
*<img src="/image.gif" height="50" width="50">*
It means to access this Image WebLogic Container will form a Path like this:
http://localhost:7001/image.gif
BUT may be the image is available inside your Context root: So Change the <Img> tag like following in your JSP:
*<img src="image.gif" height="50" width="50">*
(*NOTE:* Never Start your src path with a Preceesing /)
Now WLE will consider the path like below ..if your Applications Context root is "TestApp"
http://localhost:7001/TestApp/image.gif
I am Assuming that Inside the TestApp Application "image.gif" And "your.jsp" jSP pages are Co-Located (Means available in the Same Directory).
Thanks

Safari not displaying texts on YouTube pages properly

Hi, I've been having this weird problem with Safari for almost two months now even before the 5.1.4 update. I even went to Apple Genius with my macbook pro and they said the problem is minor and should be fixed with the new update (5.1.4), but the problem still persists!
Basically, whenever I go on YouTube for EVERY/any video and click on the "more info" button to look at the information spread on videos, all the remaining texts and links are "invisible." I have to literally highlight everything in the information spread in order to permanently display the texts, links, etc after enlarging the information tab. I've tried updating everything (Safari--both 5.1.3 and 5.1.4, OSX, repairing disk permissions, etc) to NO AVAIL! It's so frustrating and annoying. I'm not that tech savvy, so I don't quite understand what kind of problem this applies to whether CSS, JAVA, Flash, or whatever else. A genius bar representative said it's not Flash (which I also updated and reinstalled a few times), since I can load and watch videos perfectly fine. He was able to reproduce the problem on one of the macbook airs at the store and that's when he said the problem should be fixed with the newest update. Obviously not. Please help me resolve this issue or at least, understand it. It's really frustrating. Chrome and other browsers work perfectly fine with YouTube on my MacBook as well.
Here is a screenshot of what I am talking about:

Problems with displaying text from gtk+-2.0 with Cairo

I've got a 64-bit app that uses gtk+-2.0 (2.8.17 with Cairo). I had to build my own libraries since the gtk+-2.0 libraries Solaris 10 ships with is 32-bit only (and does not contain Cairo support). The app is statically linked so that our customers don't have to do any more than just install the app.
I've got a customer who's using a Sun Ray 2fs to run our app from a Sun Ray server. The problem is that none of the text in the UI is readable (including the menubar). He sent a screenshot and I can tell it's rendering the glyphs, just not correctly. The best way of describing the text rendering problem is to take a bitmap of antialised text drawn with a black pen color. Now remove all non solid black pixels. You only see pieces of the glyphs (typically, just the vertical and horizontal parts).
We don't have a Sun Ray client to test with but for testing purposes, I installed our app on freshly built Solaris 10 (5/09) and Open Solaris systems with no modifications to the virgin systems. I could run our app on both Solaris systems and display the app on a remote X display just fine. I asked the customer to try a real X display and he ran X-Win32 on a Windows XP guest using VirtualBox on the Sun Ray server and our app appeared just fine on his Sun Ray client. I told him if our app displays just fine on a real X display, then the problem must be with the Sun Ray server.
Has anyone encountered this problem? I'm going to try building the latest gtk+-2.0 libraries but I'm not convinced it's going to do any good. I don't think it's a Fontconfig configuration problem because our app worked out of the box on freshly installed systems (unless perhaps Sun has made changes to /etc/fonts/fonts.conf since the version on his system versus ours).
PS. We actually need the Cairo graphics support. It just happens that the version of Pango that's in 2.8 (and all versions of gtk+-2.0 since) also uses it for text rendering in the widgets.

You have to remember that both programs are totally different
animals and simply
some of the option used by you in AI won't be working or
can't be translated into
flash's environment. You will never get editable content,
just an image.
Export to SWF from AI and import that SWF to flash. Should be
as close as possible
to original file tho I can't assure your layers will
maintain.

               return exitVal;
Kindly look into this ..if someone has a clue what is going wrong where....plz inform me...thanks in advance.

Use the "code" formatting tags when posting code so the code retains its original formatting.
I didn't really look at your code but this type of problem is usually caused by executing a long running task in the Event Thread. Therefore the GUI can't repaint itself until the long running task is finished. Solution is to create a separate thread for the long running task.
Something like this:

HELP! Need help generating TEXT-ONLY portal page...

Text Only Portal Question:
PLATFORM:
=================================================================
Sun Solaris (5.2 if memory serves) for db and mid-tier, running
8.1.7 DB and 3.0.9 (1.0.2.2) portal.
THE NEED:
=================================================================
I need to display text only portal pages. Some of the more
detailed concerns at this point are below. Also, I've had an open
tar on Metalink for about two weeks, and after research from
their end has resulted in no help.
THE ISSUES (so far):
=================================================================
IMAGES:
If an anchor [A HREF=...] tag uses an image as it's "text", I
need to strip out the ALT= text to show inside the anchor. If no
ALT text is available, then I would like to show the image name
as a default.
For example:
<img src=home.gif
alt=Home>
should display as:
Home
FORMS:
How do I get the resulting page from a form (which include the
login inputs and submit button, search box, advanced search page,
etc.) to be displayed by the text only page?
For example:
When a form is called, the <FORM> elements are as follows:
METHOD=GET or POST
ACTION=url (relative or absolute) to the script.
In this case, the action value is:
ACTION=/servlet/page?
pageid=6&dad=portal30&_schema=PORTAL30.
This calls the advanced search API.
I would expect that to redirect the browser back to some
text-only version, the ACTION= element would have to be changed
to be something like:
ACTION=[pathscraper]?/servlet/page?
pageid=6&dad=portal30&_schema=PORTAL30
REDIRECTION:
What happens when portal pages redirect internally? How do you
get back to the text-only page?
For example:
The login link on the standard Oracle Portal home page flips
from url to url to get to the actual login page. Our
implementation of Oracle portal goes from
[DOMAIN]/pls/portal30_sso/portal30_sso.wwsso_app_admin.ls_login
to [domain]/pls/portal30_sso/portal30_sso.login_page.
Since this is standard Oracle redirection, how can it be
intercepted so the portal30_sso.login_page can be presented as
text only?
TRIED SO FAR:
=================================================================
I've written a socket/text scraper in Perl, running it from a web
server. The problems mentioned above are really causing problems,
plus the whole cookie thing. Since Oracle Portal tries to push a
cookie to the client, when the client is another UNIX server,
the cookie thing doesn't work.
POSSIBLE OTHER SOLUTIONS:
=================================================================
Something...anything. I've tried to think of some method to
create some sort of PL/SQL procedure to catch the content then
strip out the HTML calls.
An Applet to do the same thing, but on the client side, but
since time is an issue, coding a complete Java applet isn't
really an option.
THE CONCLUSION:
=================================================================
HELP! I need some help. This is for a client that is government
funded, and to meet Section 508 (part of the Americans with
Disabilities Act that states web sites and applications must be
made accessible. A text-only page is one of the requirements for
an accessible page.
Thanks,
Ryan Stefani

Use Find/Change and the GREP tab.
Search for .+ and set the Find formatting to find the charcteristics you want.
What will you do with this text once found? You'll need something to "change" to, either new text or Change Formatting options...
