We have reports we are saving out as html and then launch a brower

to read and or print.

On multiple page reports, we would like to see our report titles and column names appear just like headers and footers do when interpeted by the browser. Is there a way to go about this, or is there something better.?

Thanks

Dana

Dana,

The mantra that I was always taught was that HTML was used to provide "suggestions" for how to display data, and that it was not a detailed layout/presentation markup language.

With the advent of CSS, that has changed quite a bit.

However, in those situations that I have come across where direct and absolute control over the printing of information from a website was required, the solution has always been to develop a custom OCX (pre .NET days) that was downloaded to the client's machine. The information to be printed was passed to the OCX, which then would control the formatting and printing of the information, generally by using a full-blown text program such as Microsoft Word. By using an OCX, you could instantiate an instance of Word, set headers and footers, etc.

However, I'm not sure how one might leverage OECGI, OIPI, etc. in an OI environment.

Our S/List product for the web automatically serves the report as pages with links at top and bottom to load new pages. This works well and we would recommend this course unless you want to go the OCX route.

Lots of ways. I often use floating dhtml panels.
