Hi
Hi list,
I'm trying to find a way to set the height of a table, and set the
row-height to a percentage of that, but I can't seem to get it to
work...
I think I understand the issue, but to make sure:
Could you perhaps post a small fragment that reflects what you have
tried (don't need the whole table; if you can just draft the FO-code
for the block-container, the table and its first row, that would be
enough)?
I seem to remember that percentages in tables (for row-height and
column-width) currently don't work at all. CSS and XSL-FO remain
quite vague in their definition of how percentages should be
interpreted here. CSS even states explicitly that the behavior of
percentages in tables remains undefined (most likely because it leads
to all sorts of vicious circles in HTML --read: non-paginated
layout-- where the 33% would be roughly a third of the containing
HTML-page's height, which *includes* the row on which the percentage
is specified).
Depending on the complexity of the table in question, you may want to
consider switching to block-containers entirely (instead of a table,
use absolute-positioned block-containers that correspond to what are
the cells in your current situation).
Mind that this would not be feasible for a 20-column x 100-row
layout, but if the numbers are 2-column x 3-rows, then using a table
could prove to be overkill.
Cheers
Andreas
