I have a number of reports that display dates in the UK format. I need to change these to display dates in the Japanese format. I've changed the LANGUAGE to be ja-jp and the report looks fine when I preview it in Visual Studio 2008. However, when I upload it to the server and come to view it the styling has gone and the date isn't formatting.
Is there anything obvious I'm missing or have overlooked?
I have found two solutions to this. The first involved moving the text box. I had a text box at the top of the report. When I changed its language to ja-jp then the appearance of the table beneath was affected. Moving the text box below the table prevented this from happening. It sounds a bit ridiculous but it worked.
The other involved editing the actual RDL file. Instead of specifying the language I edited the FORMAT tag within the STYLE tag
<Format>yyyy-MM-dd HH:m</Format>

I have a task to complete at work that I already completed once. The issue is Outlook and HTML templates. I created a large table that will be used as a pricing table for our customers but the issue is people don't know how to use html even when I dummy proof it with step by step instructions. I have attached the exact layout I need to produce to get some help with advice on what solution will be best for me to use. I have proposed the LiveCycle Designer by Adobe but I feel I am getting a snobby response from even suggesting this. PLEASE HELP! I have don't this 4 times using Acrobat Pro and the client hates it. I also redid it as an HTML template with Outlook specific code so it doesn't get mangled if it is forwarded to others.
Ok I need a reputation of 10 to post a picture so I will describe it the best I can. Let me know if I can send the image to anyone willing to help?
The table has an image header then Title and report date with a input text field next to it. Under this begins the table is has 12 columns and 29 rows. Each cell needs to be expandable in case the clients types in more characters and the form expands to show all the text in each cell. I would like everything to adjust to this.
I told them to use a Excel document but they said no. Then I suggested to just have each cell be larger so there is no need to have them be expandable. They shot that down as well due to the look of it. I really don't think I can pull this off without Adobe's Livecycle Designer.
I've been stuck with this problem for a little while now and I have no clue on how to solve it.
So basically, I'm working on an HTML page. In it, there's a list (UL).
It displays properly in every browser I want.
For some reason, I need to stock the HTML page in a database (Microsoft SQL Server 2008).
When I use it after, everything is displayed properly except for the fact that the dots next to the list items not being present.
It only happens AFTER being taken from SQL but the code generated is the same.
I tried on each browser and it does the same thing on all of those.
By the way, (this should be a big part of the problem) the HTML is rendered in an ASP.net page after being taken out of the database.
Does anybody have an idea of what could be the cause of this ?
Thanks alot !
If you are saving code to VARCHAR data type column you need to escape the escape characters that you might be passing in. Just like other people mentioned in comments, you need to verify that the code you are passing in, is properly stored and returned from SQL Server. Get the code from SQL Server and put into browser to verify that it is being stored correctly.
I finally figured the problem, I first thought it was due to ASP.net or the compatibility, but that wasn't the problem.
It was all due to how my page was organized. The lack of space in the 'divs' made the dots hidden in only a certain modes in IE... I changed the alignment of the text by accident and it solved everything
We are having Multiple PDF which have account tables and balance sheet within it. We have tried many Converters but the result is not satisfactory. Can anybody please suggest any good converter that would replicated the contents of PDF to Exact structure in HTML. IF any paid Converter is there please suggest me .
This is the PDF we want to convert and Show in html "http://www.marico.com/html/investor/pdf/Quarterly_Updates/Consolidated%20Financial%20Results%20-%20Q3FY11.pdf"
Have you looked into this? http://pdftohtml.sourceforge.net/
It's open source as well, so it's free and can be modified if necessary.
There's even a demo showing the before PDF and the after HTML version. Not bad if you ask me.
If you're having issues specifically with tables in PDFs, perhaps the issue are the table themselves and whatever program is being used to generate them. Not all PDFs are created equal.
ALSO: Be aware that all PDFs that I've created and come across over the years have had lots of issues when it comes to copy/pasting blocks/lines of text that have other blocks/lines of text at equal or higher height on any given page. I think Acrobat lacks the ability to define a "sequence order" of what block is selected after what (or most programs don't use it properly), so the system sorta moves from a top-down, left-to-right way of selecting content.....even if that means jumping over large blank areas or grabbing lines from multiple columns at once when you wouldn't expect it. This may be part of your tabular data issue. Your weak link here is the PDF format itself and I think perhaps you may be expecting too much from it. Turning anything into a PDF is pretty much a one-way street, especially when you start putting lots of editable text into it.
Have you tried http://www.jpedal.org/html_index.php - there is also a free online version
I've designed an HTML email (with no css, using tables, etc) that essentially consists of one outer table that contains 3 inner tables. The email renders fine in Outlook 2003 but when the user forwards it, only the top table is preserved in the forward.
I've tested this in:
Outlook 2003 (11.8330.8341) SP3
Outlook 2003 (11.5608.5606)
Any idea what could be going on here? I don't really even know where to start. When I look at the HTML content of the forward, it is mangled beyond belief.
UPDATE:
There's a setting in MS Outlook 2003 under Tools > Options > Mail Format that says "Use microsoft office word 2003 to edit email messages". When the user does not have Outlook installed (and so the option is unchecked and grayed out) or when this is simply not checked, the forward appears correctly. However, checking this option brings up the composer in an instance of Word.
Word completely screws up the HTML - creating actual data loss, not just formatting problems.
UPDATE 2:
Found this question. Although the answer didn't help me, anyone on this question might want to check it out:

QUESTION:
What is happening here? Is there any information about certain HTML that Word will strip? I'm using only the most basic elements and styles I can find.
What is happening here?
Word stripped everything inside divs. I didn't do robust enough testing to determine whether or not this would be true of any div. I converted them to tables and everything now works.
Is it possible with business intelligence development studio to create an SSRS report and easily customize the way that the prompt fields are laid out (mainly the location)? It looked like it defaults to grouping them horizontally, I would want to perhaps group the prompts into section.
I'm just getting into using SSRS so my knowledge is limited. I've read a few tutorials but haven't found an answer to this question.
You may be able to change some of the styles and images, but I don't know if you can change the actual layout. It may be possible to do it with the style sheet, as it looks like the UI is generated from a dll.
Start here and poke around:
\ServerName\c$\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.3\Reporting Services\ReportManager\
Styles\ReportingServices.css should let you do some formatting changes - font size, layout, colors, etc.
Styles\RSWebParts.css should let you change more formatting.
MS was even considerate enough to comment thoroughly. I would just start messing around with the "View Source" in your dev environment. See what classes are assigned to the controls you would like to move.
Good luck - could actually be fun.
