RE: image in table header overlapping table body -- possible ?
Roland, Use nested tables: fo:table table-omit-header-at-break=false fo:table-column column-width=3cm/ fo:table-column column-width=17cm/ fo:table-header fo:table-row fo:table-cell fo:block !-- Your image here -- /fo:block /fo:table-cell fo:table-cell / /fo:table-row /fo:table-header fo:table-body fo:table-row fo:table-cell / fo:table-cell !-- Your current table (text only) -- fo:table table-omit-header-at-break=false ... /fo:table /fo:table-cell /fo:table-row /fo:table-body /fo:table Cheers, Roland I need to build a table with a header line containing an image and a single line of text. The problem is the image beeing to high to fit into the header line which causes the header line to be resized vertically to match the height of the image. But i need the image to overflow the bottom of the header line (leaving its height unchanged) so that it flows right into the body area. The problem is that the overflow property isn't supported yet and a number-rows-spanned does not seem to work here because header and body rows obviously cannot be mixed. I try to draw what i want to get (view with fixed-width font): xsl-fo-area / in PDF it should look like that __/ / / / +-+ table-header / | | Some header text ... / | header- | / | image | first row of table-body / | | second row of table-body table-body/ +-+ third row of table-body / . / . / . / . / (i hope that makes my problem clear) As i generate the fo code and the PDF at runtime from different data in a database, there may occur page breaks cutting the table into several pieces and the header absolutely has to appear above each piece. I also tried to use position=relative with the top and left properties set but did not get it working although i am sure this should work with the actual version. Mabe i just don't see the forest for the trees ... Does anyone have an idea of how to achieve this? I would really appreciate any hint.

-Original Message- From: Roland Neilands [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Roland, Use nested tables: Cool! There goes my attempt ... :) Only problem I still see is how's he going to make the contents of the table-body flow alongside the image in the header.

Re: image in table header overlapping table body -- possible ? [additional info]
-Original Message- From: Roland Neilands [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Roland, Use nested tables: That is what i tried yesterday, too. Thanks anyway. It's a solution to get the image in the first header of the table. But i still end up with the problem having it repeated after a page break. The text header will be repeated as there is data in its table-body being continued after the page break. But there is no data in the table-body that belongs to the image header so there is no reason for FOP to repeat the header (the image) on the next page. And with this problem in mind i come to the idea of Andreas. - Original Message - From: Andreas L. Delmelle [EMAIL PROTECTED] I see a remote possiblity in performing some XSL trickery (resting on the assumption that the rows in the table body are generated by XML elements). If you define a row height globally in your stylesheet, as well as the region-body height... You know in advance how many rows will fit on a page... ( $regbh div $rowh ). And here we have my next problem ... There occur line breaks in the rows (mostly generated within FOP caused by hyphenation), that i cannot calculate that easy. Therefore i cannot set a fixed row height and i do not know how many rows there will be on a page. I tried to calculate these linebreaks according to the amount of text in the fields but that's quite dirty (and not completely functioning at all ...) For the moment, however, it's the closest thing to a solution I can come up with... I agree. I think i will try to get some other things working first and come back to this one next week. Sometimes a weekend of doing nothing helps more than days of thinking ;-) Thanks to both of you and have a nice weekend, Roland - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks anyway. It's a solution to get the image in the first header of the table. But i still end up with the problem having it repeated after a page break. Aaah... you *don't* need the image repeated across pages. The text header will be repeated as there is data in its table-body being continued after the page break. But there is no data in the table-body that So, the image would actually belong to the table-body, and only the text belongs to table-header (? correct?). In that case my proposal could work, if it were not for the complication described below. There occur line breaks in the rows (mostly generated within FOP caused by hyphenation), that i cannot calculate that easy. Therefore i cannot set a fixed row height and i do not know how many rows there will be on a page. I tried to calculate these linebreaks according to the amount of text in the fields but that's quite dirty (and not completely functioning at all ...) Very dirty indeed... Imagine having to deal with a situation like this and having to base your calculations on the metrics of the particular font being used. (for fixed-width fonts this would be a bit less complicated since you can just take the number of chars and multiply that by the charwidth). I think i will try to get some other things working first and come back to this one next week. Sometimes a weekend of doing nothing helps more than days of thinking ;-) Very wise indeed!
