Title: Fixing size of crosstab with 25 columns (HTML output)
Post by: LDJB81 on 28 Feb 2013 06:37:39 AM
Hi

I have a crosstab with 25 measure along the top (big I know) that when rendered in HTML goes over the width of the page. Even with fixing the size of the crosstab and putting a block around it which clips, this doesnt seem to fix it. The strange thing is when its rendered and I hovver over the crosstab column header, the crosstab then "jumps" in to the correct fixed position and all looks good. I have tried fixing the size in the crosstab using the table properties but this fixes all columns to exactly the same width which is no good for me as the first column needs to be 200px. I have read on other posts that rendering big crosstabs in HTML can be problematic. There is talk of putting fixed blocks inside crosstab intersections that doesn't seem to work either, can anybody help me get around this? If I run the crosstab in to PDF then I dont get any problems.

Thanks
Lloyd

This sounds like a browser issue. Which version of IE are you using?

I fixed the issue but it seems like it was a bug. See my comments from the IBM forum.
