HTML Width Override on Report

Hey folks,

I'm stumped -- I have a report value box I want to override to not follow the grid/table format of the rest of the report, but stretch across the entire page -- anyone know what html tag to place around it?

Thanks!

So you have a Columar report and you want an element(say in the Group Footer) to take up the same width as x elements from the group body?

Set the width of the element in Designer to be Cx, where x is the number of columns you want the element to span.

Note: You should also put in invisible spacer elements in that group for each additional column you are spanning. So if you have an element spanning 5 columns you should have that element and 4 invisible spacer elements in that report section.

Hi Ray -- tried that.  Set it up as width C13, and added 12 spacers afterwards ... still matching the above columns ...

Hey Blair,

Can you shoot me over the DSR and DDT files so that I can look at the design of the report?

... and fixed with a column width thing that didn't show up in the report preview, because I forgot to save the report, or equally not-smart thing.  Ray is a patient and benevolent overlord. Smiley
