OK, well this rule won't work: If POInstall.Comment_HTML IS UNDEFINED Then POInstall.Comment_HTML = ' ' Because then technically the HTML field STILL doesn't have anything in it and then you get this error: empty_html_field2.jpg Of course, now you start putting data in fields that should be empty an...

MORE DISAPPOINTMENT If you have a report field with the 'html' or html added (it actually doesn't matter if you use the quotes), AND THE FIELD IS NULL (ie. UNDEFINED in Aware), you'll get this runtime error and the report fails and will not execute. In my case, I'm not even printing it - I added a s...

I would like the tab to stay the same name.

Done this for years.
Not tried in v9.

Imagine having a floor plan of a building. I have 42 offices. I'm trying to put 11 pieces of into into each office slot. Rather than having 462 fields on the report, I have 42. I'm building a string of data for each slot. This works now and is nice and readable. plan1.png But I want to color some li...

because of the poor bitmapped fonts, I can't fit all my text in.

1st is 10 point, and then 8 to help it fit - but then not readable.

For one I ran across, You can't have a '&' in your data. In this text field on my PO, in the text field the user had typed "type 1 & 2 items" that barfed when printing: picky1.png I can imagine using a REPLACE_PATTERN on the field before printing, BUT if its ALREADY html, then its going to be loaded...

But the fonts are crap.
Always "blocky", jagged

can't find ANY combination of 'font-family' that it will accept.
got a couple of hours in it just tonight, after the new build

It does change typeface... just not very well. And never to a smooth font. Always a poor bitmap.

still broke after upgrading to bld 3249
sux

I used your html line from the first post.
here it is in my text field.
here's how the report looks
after being sized up - maybe 12px

damn, what a pain in the ass.
and i just did an upgrade on saturday the 30th, and a new version with new Report HTML Library comes out 2 days later.
spent many hours trying to get this HTML to be anywhere close to useable - and it was broke all along.
Hope the new April 1 build finally works.

ok, thx that worked - forgot about that problems now: 1) sucks that you have to use inline 'styles' - tried class and it doesn't pick it up. 2) cant get the text tight... here is the html in a browser Screenshot 2024-03-26 at 11.54.38 PM.png and shown in chrome explorer Screenshot 2024-03-26 at 11.5...

Thanks, that really sucks.
One more thing I’ve got to update when converting two apps to V9.
I’ll update this example page:
https://www.awareim.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=11009

AwareApp.startProcess2('VP_ShowJobWithChat', 'jobs', ObjectID, { newTab: true, id: "JobWithChat", margins: {top: 0, bottom: 0, left: 0, right: 0} }); Since you are deep into this function, This might come in handy in the future. I don’t think it’s in the forum. I had this in an email. The key part h...

Haven’t checked in at least 6 months but last I recall, the Alt-V search function doesn’t include this script.
(That sure would be nice wouldn’t it, to find all the places “RenderOption” is used, for example)

Can u check in V9 ?
If not, sending and Email to Vlad would help get this in an update.
