Looking at IReportItemPresentation and ReportItemPresentationBase, it doesn't seem possible to emit something in the head of HTML report when the item is present. Is this correct?

From quick googling it seems that <style> tags in body work on all major browsers, still making things valid, if possible, seems better Smile

Actually, this turned out to be a problem Sad

When I just add <style> tag, it's missing in Firefox completely; when I try to add it to head using Javascript, BIRT seems to try to escape it somewhere and mess things up. From MyItemPresentation.onRowSets I return a string which ends like this:
$j('<style type="text/css"> ... lots of css rules ... </style>').appendTo('head');
</script>
<input type="text" class="param" name="DTParam" id="DateTimePickerItem_2"/>
<script>$j('#DateTimePickerItem_2').datetimepicker({dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd', timeFormat: 'hh:mm:ss.l', showSecond: true, autoSize: true})
</script>

and still have the same in HTMLPageLM.layout(), according to debugger. But when I view source of the resulting report in FireFox, I see the same except for the closing style tag: there is <\/style> there instead.

1. Any reason you know of for this to happen?
2. Can I see the precise source of the page emitted by BIRT, so I can check if it's Firefox's fault?

Duh. That's correct behavior: http://www.herongyang.com/JavaScript/Browser-Escape-Script-Tag-in-String-Literal.html Still need to figure out why the styles don't get applied...

And finally, it turns out that fitting several CSS rules on one line using ";" doesn't work, " " is needed instead.

Do the styles get applied if you use /preview (Preview in HTML) instead
of the WebViewer?

As I've said, the problem was that I was constructing the style tag incorrectly Smile
