Text Align ignores whitespaces

Hi.
I have a problem with text align in text field.
Let's say that I have a text field with htmlText:
"Text example "
- when I set align for this text field like this:
var _format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
_format.align= TextFormatAlign.CENTER;
text_field.setTextFormat(_format);
- it ignores whitespaces at the end of the line.
Same thing for TextFormatAlign.RIGHT.
Can I change this behavior using new text layout framework?

I don't think you can. TLF ignores trailing spaces when aligning text as well. And the decisions for where a glyph appears on a line are in the Player - not our actionscript code - so there isn't a way to override this in TLF.

I have a post card application where user can type some text in multiline text field. After that I have pdf output.
The problem is that if user creates text area and then sets align RIGHT/CENTER flash doesn't take care about spaces after last character in particular line. And because of this pdf output looks differently.
I've tried to change condenseWhite property - no luck.

JTable text alignment issues when using JPanel as custom TableCellRenderer

Hi there,
I'm having some difficulty with text alignment/border issues when using a custom TableCellRenderer. I'm using a JPanel with GroupLayout (although I've also tried others like FlowLayout), and I can't seem to get label text within the JPanel to align properly with the other cells in the table. The text inside my 'panel' cell is shifted downward. If I use the code from the DefaultTableCellRenderer to set the border when the cell receives focus, the problem gets worse as the text shifts when the new border is applied to the panel upon cell selection. Here's an SSCCE to demonstrate:
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Component;
import java.awt.EventQueue;
import javax.swing.GroupLayout;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JTable;
import javax.swing.border.Border;
import javax.swing.table.TableCellRenderer;
import javax.swing.table.TableColumn;
import sun.swing.DefaultLookup;
public class TableCellPanelTest extends JFrame {
private class PanelRenderer extends JPanel implements TableCellRenderer {
    private JLabel label = new JLabel();
    public PanelRenderer() {
      GroupLayout layout = new GroupLayout(this);
      layout.setHorizontalGroup(layout.createParallelGroup().addComponent(label));
      layout.setVerticalGroup(layout.createParallelGroup().addComponent(label));
      setLayout(layout);
    public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column) {
      if (isSelected) {
        setBackground(table.getSelectionBackground());
      } else {
        setBackground(table.getBackground());
      // Border section taken from DefaultTableCellRenderer
      if (hasFocus) {
        Border border = null;
        if (isSelected) {
          border = DefaultLookup.getBorder(this, ui, "Table.focusSelectedCellHighlightBorder");
        if (border == null) {
          border = DefaultLookup.getBorder(this, ui, "Table.focusCellHighlightBorder");
        setBorder(border);
        if (!isSelected && table.isCellEditable(row, column)) {
          Color col;
          col = DefaultLookup.getColor(this, ui, "Table.focusCellForeground");
          if (col != null) {
            super.setForeground(col);
          col = DefaultLookup.getColor(this, ui, "Table.focusCellBackground");
          if (col != null) {
            super.setBackground(col);
      } else {
        setBorder(null /*getNoFocusBorder()*/);
      // Set up our label
      label.setText(value.toString());
      label.setFont(table.getFont());
      return this;
public TableCellPanelTest() {
    JTable table = new JTable(new Integer[][]{{1, 2, 3}, {4, 5, 6}}, new String[]{"A", "B", "C"});
    // set up a custom renderer on the first column
    TableColumn firstColumn = table.getColumnModel().getColumn(0);
    firstColumn.setCellRenderer(new PanelRenderer());
    getContentPane().add(table);
    pack();
public static void main(String[] args) {
    EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
      public void run() {
        new TableCellPanelTest().setVisible(true);
}There are basically two problems:
1) When first run, the text in the custom renderer column is shifted downward slightly.
2) Once a cell in the column is selected, it shifts down even farther.
I'd really appreciate any help in figuring out what's up!
Thanks!

1) LayoutManagers need to take the border into account so the label is placed at (1,1) while labels just start at (0,0) of the cell rect. Also the layout manager tend not to shrink component below their minimum size. Setting the labels minimum size to (0,0) seems to get the same effect in your example. Doing the same for maximum size helps if you set the row height for the JTable larger. Easier might be to use BorderLayout which ignores min/max for center (and min/max height for west/east, etc).
2) DefaultTableCellRenderer uses a 1px border if the UI no focus border is null, you don't.
3) Include a setDefaultCloseOperation is a SSCCE please. I think I've got a hunderd test programs running now :P.

New to CSS, text-align and line-height ok in 'Design', but not in browsers (IE 10 & Chrome) on Win8

Not sure what it is you are trying to do but what you have at the moment is invalid code which is most likely why it doesn't work cross browser. (of cousre this css does not help - line-height: 3.0; - 3.0 what? - px, ems?)
Here's an example below of how you could do it. Give your table a class (below it is called .myTable) then you can start styling the <td> cell, and anything inside it by appending the element like an <h2> tag to the class name - .myTable h2
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<style>
.myTable {
    width: 900px;
    margin: 0 auto;
.myTable td {
font-family:Baskerville, "Palatino Linotype", Palatino, "Century Schoolbook L", "Times New Roman", serif;
width: 150px;
.myTable h2 {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
text-align:center;
color: black;
font-size: 1em;
line-height: 50px;
word-spacing: 10px;
text-shadow: 3px 3px 5px #333;
.myTable a {
    display: block;
    text-align: center;
</style>

Removing ignorable whitespace from DOM document

Dear all,
I am trying to read in an XML document that contains a lot of ignorable whitespace between elements. I am using the DOM model to parse and read in the file. Is there an easy way to tell the parser to ignore all ignorable whitespace characters in text nodes? Or do I have to write a routine to pre-process the DOM document?
(xml:space="default" is set in the root element)
Thanks a lot in advance!
Netwundi

I agree DrClap with your assertion. However, having read normalize(), it does seem quirky. According to the Javadocs for Node:
public void normalize()
Puts all Text nodes in the full depth of the sub-tree underneath this Node, including attribute nodes, into a "normal" form where only structure (e.g., elements, comments, processing instructions, CDATA sections, and entity references) separates Text nodes, i.e., there are neither adjacent Text nodes nor empty Text nodes. This can be used to ensure that the DOM view of a document is the same as if it were saved and re-loaded, and is useful when operations (such as XPointer lookups) that depend on a particular document tree structure are to be used.In cases where the document contains CDATASections, the normalize operation alone may not be sufficient, since XPointers do not differentiate between Text nodes and CDATASection nodes.- Saish

Text Align and Other annoyances

I have upgraded from CS3 to CS5 and while i am mostly happy there are some really annoying bugs, features, or pieces of ill thought out logic in Dreamweaver.
I might be wrong but by default Dreamweaver is a a WYSIWYG editor. Therefore this should make it ideal for editing websites which have text in them. Lets assume that websites include single email campaigns, small static HTML brochure sites, through to large scale CMS websites. In each of these cases i might have the need to align a single piece of text to the right.
Now DW suggests everything like this should be driven by CSS. In in 90% of cases for general text layout i would agree i.e. default paragraph text size, default alignment, default line spacing, etc. These can then easily be adjusted throughout the website large or small by changing a simple bit off CSS in your style sheet.
But what if you just need 1 line of text to be different from "default" - CSS is not approrpiate here, and infact it would result in more code to achieve the same goal. why should i have to write a new style into my style sheet, and then link it with a class name, when a simple align="right" will work in that instance. In fact in all instances the chances are that piece of code will be shorter than the class="text-right" definition to apply the CSS (ignoring the CSS code too).
So why take the align buttons off the property inspector bar? Why make the developers life harder when he is using a tool to make it easier?
Another issue - which probably is more of a bug than anything. In code, Shift + Tab should outdent the code right. Highlight a block of code and this works. Why then does doing this for a single line of code delete the code?
I upgraded from CS3 because i was told that was the worst performing version of creative suite out there. And it was buggy as hell. But i am now finding that CS5 is not a great deal better - this applies through the other products too with Illustrator crashing as much as it ever did, il thought out removed features, etc. I am appalled by the quality of the new CS5 - especially as in my upgrade the fee was a good 30% more expensive than the american alternative.
And before you ask - the machine where i am experiencing this is more than adequate, Quad Core, 6gig of Ram, and on a fresh install of Windows 7.
An unhappy customer.

You may need to adjust your workflow to get the most out of CSS.
I find it works much better to identify the CSS IDs, selectors and class names I will be using in the site. This bit of pre-planning gives me a basic stylesheet from which I can grab styles at will and add more to as needed.
/**BASIC LAYOUT**/
#wrapper { }
#header { }
#content { }
#footer { }
/**TEXT STYLES**/
#header h1 { }
#content h2 { }
#content h3 { }
#content p { }
#footer p { }
/**RE-USABLE CLASSES**/
.floatLt {float:left; width: 40%;}
.floatRt {float:right; width: 40%}
.clearing {clear:both}
.center {text-align:center}
.right {text-align:right}
/**LINKS**/
a { }
a:link { }
a:visited { ]
a:hover,
a:active,
a:focus { }
And if you plug all this into an external CSS file to which your HTML documents are linked, sitewide style changes take a minute or two instead of weeks and hours.

How to change the text alignment of an adf table column

Hi everyone
I have a read only adf table that uses banding. What I want to do is change the text align property of one of it's columns but the task seems not at all trivial.
I tried entering a value for the text-align property in the inline style of the specific af:column tag and failed. I then tried to do the same for the af:outputText element inside the column but still nothing worked. I even created a css style and changed the StyleClass attribute on each or both elements without any luck.
Can anybody shed some light here ...
Thanassis

Specify the text-align in a css.

Hyphenation & text-align:justify in PDF's with CFDOCUMENT

Hello everybody!
We are using CF8.1 and are having problems of generating well designed PDF outputs with CFDOCUMENT. We would like to print out reports, which are hyphenated and have the text aligned. Example:
This works fine:
<html lang="en">
<STYLE>p { width:260px;background-color:blue;-moz-hyphens: auto; -o-hyphens: auto; -webkit-hyphens: auto; -ms-hyphens: auto; -hyphens: auto;text-align:justify}</STYLE>
<P>Haematodynamometer Haematodynamometer Haematodynamometer Haematodynamometer Haematodynamometer Haematodynamometer Haematodynamometer Haematodynamometer Haematodynamometer</P>
</html>
This won't:
<CFDOCUMENT FORMAT="PDF">
<html lang="en">
<STYLE>p { width:260px;background-color:blue;-moz-hyphens: auto; -o-hyphens: auto; -webkit-hyphens: auto; -ms-hyphens: auto; -hyphens: auto;text-align:justify}</STYLE>
<P>Haematodynamometer Haematodynamometer Haematodynamometer Haematodynamometer Haematodynamometer Haematodynamometer Haematodynamometer Haematodynamometer Haematodynamometer</P>
</html>
</CFDOCUMENT>
Do you have any solutions on this topics? Are do I have to wait until CF11.
Thanks in advance

Now, the problem is that, while the client likes this, they don't like that the headers and footers are grayed out and the colors are not as vibrant in Word as the program part I created and saved as a PDF.
They're being a bit impractical in their complaints, in fact they remind me of my Dad! The final product is still fine.

That's fair enough, the solution would be to make the text in the header and footer an image instead.

So my question is, can I create a PDF that has the same features with the expandable text control boxes. If I can, would you recommend InDesign to do this?
No you can't. I'm pretty sure you can't create a PDF with expandable boxes and I'm very sure that you can't create a PDF that will add pages with headers and footrs. However you can create a PDF with basic fillable text boxes, they're called forms and you need Acrobat as well to do it, google it and you'll find plenty of info.

JDeveloper 10.1.3.4: text-align for table column has no effect

Hi,
I am using JDeveloper 10.1.3.4. In a tabe I have a column that displays numbers, which are left-aligned by default:
Applied
$50.00
$2,160.00
$50.00
$2,260.00I want to have them aligned to the right to look neater:
Applied
         $50.00
      $2,160.00
         $50.00
      $2,260.00Or better still, have the cell with the longest string aligned to the center, and all the other cells align to it by the decimal point:
    Applied
      $50.00
   $2,160.00
      $50.00
   $2,260.00I looked in the property inspector and the only thing that looks closest to the purpose is text-align. I set this attribute to right (text-align:right) for the column, and for the outputText, but neither has effect. Everything is still flush to the left. How to get it right?
Thanks!

Hi, Branislav,
Nice meeting you again.
Last time the question was about formatting the total amount returned from the method, from String to Number, Re: JDeveloper does not handle expert SQL, cannot add query clause in view link, which can also format the number as currency.
This time, your answer again solved my problem. I was looking in the inline styling section, and did not notice this property in the General section. Thank you so much for your help!

Sync Text alignment in HTMLEditor and a PDF generated using FOP

Hi,
How to sync text alignment in HTMLEditor and a PDF generated using FOP ?
I tried setting the dimensions of HTMLEditor and PDF in pixels by calculating the size in Pixels for A4 paper size with a particular dpi value.
Have done the font settings as well. The problem is I see uneven line cuts in the PDF as compared to HTMLEditor.
Thanks.

It's not a realistic expectation. You are expecting the PDF produced by whoever provided your FOP implementation to observe exactly the same typographical rules as HTMLEditor. Basically it won't, and there is no way to enforce it. Line breaking/hyphenation/word spacing algorithms can be of great complexity. You are expecting two systems that aren't specified to agree, to agree.

Spry bar text alignment

I need help with aligning text in main spry bar menu. Using DW 5.5, I have a 7 bank bar and 2 have 2 lines, remainder have 1. I need to BOTTOM align everything. I've look through forums, help menus, and u-tube and can not find this answer.
I would also like to not have fixed widths, but widths varied per text length, but when I do that, obviously the 2 lined text banks turn into one line.

To give you an idea of what I would do, have a look at the following by copying and pasting into a new document.

BUG:text-align:right; inline style not working on read-only af:InputText

Hello,
A bug in how af:InputText works if readonly=true. I have an af:InputText that has "text-align:right;" for the InlineStyle. The inputText is inside of an af:Column in af:Table. If the inputtext is readonly=false, it works properly and renders right-aligned. If readonly=true, then it renders left-aligned. I have also tried setting inlineStyle for the column to text-align:right;, and I get the same behavior.
Regards,
John

John,
Try adding formatType="number" to your af:column (if you want all data in that column aligned to the right). If you don't want the entire column right aligned, try using disabled instead of readonly.

ADF Faces OutputText text-align

I´m working in an ADF Faces Application, a column in a table is showed using an outputText but the customer wants its value is showed right align.
I've tried the propertie inlineStyle="text-align:right;" in the outputText but it's not working correctly.
I think that inlineStyle="text-align:right;" doesn't work with outputText.
Are there any solution to align text in a af:outputText?
Thanks in advanced

TableView: column header text alignment?

How can I change the text alignment of a TableView column caption/header? I'd like some of my column headers to be right aligned for example?
It works for regular table cells when I change f.i. the css of the custom DataFX MoneyTableCell cell:
.money-cell {
   -fx-alignment: TOP_RIGHT;
}but it won't work for the ".table-view .column-header" style of the standard TableView:
.table-view .column-header,
.table-view .filler,
.table-view .column-drag-header {
    -fx-alignment: TOP_RIGHT;
}

Just after raising this I realised the problem is that the text is a label on top of the header. You can right align by using the following selector:
.table-view .column-header .label {
    -fx-alignment: TOP_RIGHT;
}

Text Align ignores whitespaces
