Report paper size

[HankFay]

Hi Phabio,

easy enough to design in Dreamweaver CS6 (did one a little simpler for a project), and paste into an .rsp.

In fact, designing something like this is likely going to have to be done in a good HTML editor. I believe I put a post up here somewhere on how I separate the html and data merging, to keep it manageable (and updatable: I read the changed HTML and push it back into the .rsp automagically).

Hi Hank, thank you for the suggestion.

DreamWeaver is free?
or I have to spend $ 3-400 to draw a report?
If I have to draw a report with variable sections, I create many HTML and paste them in the report program?

thank
Fabio

PS:
your ERD?

Hi Fabio,

The post Hank mentions is here. In the same post, Barry also talks of using the <%@ include=... %> directive (to include code from another file - great if you have standard elements that you want to use in more than one report) and the <%=...%> directive to evaluate an expression and embed it directly in the html.

Putting my money where my mouth is and starting designing in ckeditor in a webview (as per Hank's post) then adding in a bit of CSS (check out Hank's other great recommendation for an online CSS editor here) and some NoSQL to grab the data and <%=...%> directives to include it in the html, I came up with the following:
