I think you're always going to be struggling against the fact that HTML isn't really about page layout (although CSS makes it a lot stronger in that area).
You may want to consider using PDF generation using the freely available iText library (http://www.lowagie.com/iText/). I have done this on one of the projects I am working on, using a servlet to deliver a PDF file. It works very nicely and the layout can be controlled precisely. Admittedly, I'm only dealing with single page reports... There are also ways of writing XSLT stylesheets that translate XML directly to PDF FOP (http://xml.apache.org/fop/). >Wednesday, July 17, 2002, 12:46:13 PM, you wrote: > >PK> Hi all, >PK> I'm building a web app for my company that will help us create quotes.
