Hi,
currently I'm developing my reports in BIRT 2.2.2.
In the future I want to use the feature of IProgressMonitor, so I have
to migrate to BIRT 2.5.1.
In my reports I have set the layout preference to "Fixed Layout".
The page break interval of tables is set to 50 rows.
In 2.2.2 in HTML all the 50 rows are displayed on on page. In PDF the
rows do an automatic page break when the height of the page is reached.
This is the behaviour I expect.
But in 2.5.1 the page in HTML behaves if it was a PDF document.
The table rows do a page break when the page height is reached.
So how can I force the page break in HTML to work like in 2.2.2.
That means: Don't do a page break in HTML even when the page height is
reached.
Any suggestions?
Cheers,
Thilo

If you re-run the report for each format you should be able to setup two
master pages and use a script similar to this in the before factory:
rptDesignHandle = reportContext.getDesignHandle();
tbl = rptDesignHandle.findElement("mytable");
var myoutputformat = reportContext.getOutputFormat();
if( myoutputformat == "pdf" ){
tbl.setProperty("masterPage","MasterPageTwo");
}else{
tbl.setProperty("masterPage","MasterPageOne");
}
Note that the table was named.
