multi-column page and background colors
Hi, I want to setup a page layout with 2 columns. The page background should have a background-color while the columns' backgrounds remain white. How is that possible? I did not find how to set the background for the whole page, but only for the columns, maybe it's a mix of padding's and backgrounds. Thx for you help.

Chris I think the user wants the bgcolor in the margins and between the columns. If nothing else, you should be able to add a background-image (the image would just be your one color) to the region-body, and then assign the background-color of each column to white.

Xalan preceding-sibling problem
I am attempting to compare the values in one node with the preceding node. When using the preceding-sibling on the first node, it retuns a null (which is good), but thereafter returns the value of the first node (only) as the tree is processed. If I use the axisName following:: or following-sibling:: then it works fine. I should be able to reverse my logic a bit and get it to work, but there has been a whole lot of testing trying to figure this out. The object of the test is to place a title row for each group of nodes in a table. Once I am returning the values I need from the preceding-sibling:: then I can build the xsl:if statement. Right now it's set to 1=1 to iterate through the nodes. I have reported this as a bug to the Apache XML buglist, but not having the expertise of many of the members, I'm unsure if it is a bug or maybe I'm expecting behavior that I won't get, given the way in which I'm doing things here. I would apreciate it very much if someone could confirm this works with another engine or explain why it won't work at all. I have been through MK's XSLT book working on a solution and by all rights this should work. It's not elegant, but hey, how do you eat an elephant?

FOP, JSP, TOMCAT, IE .. How to make it works!!! Please help!!
Hi All, Im on known problem for a while. I searched all around the web but havent found an answer that matches my requirement. Its not directly a problem with FOP but rather a problem on own to make FOP works on tomcat. Il read all the stuff that explain how to make FOP works with IE in a servlet an its works. But thats not enough for the need of my application. So I want to know: -Is there a way I can have the PDF displayed on the browser as its generated on the server. Let say I start to generate a 1 pages document; I want the document to appear in the browser window as soon as possible. This way the user can start reading the document while the server finishes it. More, if the user closes the window while the server generates the document. Is there a way to stop the processing on the server? I want to have the smallest delay possible between the time the user click the button on is browser an the time he gets the 1st page displayed in the browser. I want a way, if possible, to stop the processing of a report that have been launched from a Window that have been closed. I read stuff about using chunked transfer-coding. Is that works? Any idea if I can found an example somewhere.I need to support IE6 and Firefox.Any help will be appreciated since I browsed all the web and I havent found something relevant.Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it!!/David

(as in: take the set of all preceding-siblings and of that set, return the one that appears first in the source document) If I use the axisName following:: or following-sibling:: then it works fine. Yes, because here the immediately following (sibling) node is always also first one following in the document as well. Try: self::node()[not(text()=preceding-sibling::node()[1]/text())] IIC, the addition of '[1]' should make sure you return the immediately preceding-sibling. HTH!

RE: Xalan preceding-sibling problem
i have found that different XSLT processors return nodes in the preceding-sibling axis differently. So in some cases the immediately preceding node is: preceding-sibling::node()[1] - but in some other cases this always returns the very first node in document order. In those cases you might want something like preceding-sibling::node()[last()] which takes the last of the preceiding-sibling nodes, which is the one immediately prior to the current node ... I don't recall which way xalan does it... -Riz Rizwan Virk CTO CambridgeDocs [EMAIL PROTECTED] personal: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: J.Pietschmann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Fri 12/17/2004 3:59 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Xalan preceding-sibling problem [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am attempting to compare the values in one node with the preceding node. ... self::node()[not(text()=preceding-sibling::node()/text())] ^^^ This expression will be true if at least one text node child of the context node is equal to at least one text node child of any of the preceding siblings of the context node.

Original Message- From: David Gagnon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, Is there a way I can have the PDF displayed on the browser as it's generated on the server. I think this obstacle isn't presented by FOP/TOMCAT... Actually, if you look at what most browsers usually do with PDFs --even those that aren't generated on-the-fly--, it isn't likely to be possible. Download first, then use a plugin to display it. Maybe a way to work around this is to not generate one huge PDF, but a lot of small ones, linked by fo:basic-links. That way, only the documents pointed to by the links the user visits will be generated (and will have to be downloaded before the user can start reading). HTH!

It should be possible to get the PDF renderer pop up immediately in a non-IEx browser, but I suspect it would only show a blank page until the whole content is generated and downloaded. With IEx at least up to the IEx 6/AcrobatReader 5 combo there is the problem that the PDF plugin wont start unless there is a content-length HTTP header, which can of course only be set after the whole PDF has been generated.
