GlobalReportStyle.css not taken in consideration ?

[sanchoniathon]

Hello to all,

Anyone familiar with the use of "GlobalReportStyle.css" file ?
The Cascading Style Sheets ?

There seems to be a bug with Internet Explorer as mentionned in the comments inside the "GlobalReportStyle.css" file itself.

/*
A bug in IE prevents TABLE elements from properly inheriting text properties.
These properties include color, font-size, font-weight, font-style,
font-variant, text-decoration, text-transform, letter-spacing, and line-height.
All of the text properties of TABLE elements, except font-family, are inherited
from the BODY element otherwise setting these on the page would be enough.
*/

To prevent that, we manually apply the desired fonts to our objects when developping reports in 8.4. this then works correct when run the report ONLINE ! But when we run the report in batch mode the correct fonts don't seem to take effect.

Anyone has any suggestions or aware of any workarounds ? We have Internet Explorer 7.0.5730 on our client pc.

Thanks !

likely, running in batch mode uses a separate GlobalReportStyle.css file.

...I've always wondered why there are 4 of them.

thanks for that piece of information David.

In IBM's support site, there is a mention to make sure that all different folders on which the concerned files resides, all have the same access security RIGHTS.

that is the next step, i will contact the support team here and ask them if those cognos folders have the same acces RIGHTS.
