Title: Error when using html-item in active report
Post by: curious on 13 May 2013 08:41:00 AM
In a non-active report , I use html items that should display some extra information when a mouse is moved over this item.

when i use this list in a card of an active report I get an error message.

With a simple report expression in an html item like this : '<span title="Information to display">'
the next error message is displayed :
endlabel td does not match beginlabel span


Is is not possible to use html in active report, or do I have to use another syntax ?

I've not tried these in AR but I assume you've got the </span> HTML item in as well?

Have you tried converting a non-AR report which correctly uses the syntax to AR? When you run it in AR do you still get that message?

Just followed my own suggestion using the equivalent of <span title="Information to display"> then </span> etc as non AR list report and it worked as expected. Converted it to AR and ran it and again it worked ok. Thus the HTML items do work in an AR.
