Hmmm Thanks. However, for example, I decorate a column containing numbers, with a GIF(s). I still need the column to be part of the export. But I don't want the excel cell to contain the URL of the GIF, jut the number that. Do you still think the media attribute would work?

Simplest thing to do is to have a separate column that is formatted for export. Use the http://displaytag.sourceforge.net/tagreference.html#column_media attribute, and set the online version to be media="html", and the export version to be media="xml csv excel". There should be an example of this in the sample war (although it does not seem to be current at displaytag.org). > > Obviously, the header sorting functionality ignores the > decorator and operates on the the data itself, so somehow the > export should be able to do the same? > > thanks, > > jeff beck > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > The SF.Net email is sponsored by EclipseCon 2004 > Premiere Conference on Open Tools Development and Integration > See the breadth of Eclipse activity.
