View Full Version : HTML Report Format Too Wide

When generating a file differences report in HTML using menu options File | File Differences Report (side-by-side display with word wrapping enabled), the reports are sometimes too wide--wider than a screen at 1024x768, and wider than 8.5x11 landscape printer output--about half the time.

Is there a way to force a constraint? And/or why do some of the reports (done on files of similar type) come out fine while others do not?

These reports are excellent for people working remotely, but not if they have to set their screen resolution to 1600x1200 to view them without panning back and forth.

Help!

BC doesn't do anything to force or prevent word wrapping, so the layout will largely depend on the files you're comparing. What's likely happening is that you have some long lines that don't have any whitespace, so the browser can't find a good place to wrap the lines at. You can try editing the generated report and forcing the table width to 100%.

Thanks, Craig. I've been poking around the generated code with not a lot of luck, but I'll try again.
