repeating table header

Hi,

 

I have a VF page; which I am rendering as a PDF. In the page; I have a table which displays "QuoteLineItems".

I want that the table header should be repeated if the contents of "Table" goes over a page.

 

After doing research I found out that there is a css property which can be used to achieve this. But when I try to implement the solution it is not working. I have used following code(just a part of HTML)

 

Css that I have used -

<style>

thead { display: table-header-group;}

</style>

 

VF Page Code - 

<table border="0" width="100%" id="table4">
        <thead>
            <tr>
               <th bgcolor="#C0C0C0"><font face="Arial">{!$Label.quotePosition}</font></th>
               <th bgcolor="#C0C0C0"><font face="Arial">{!$Label.quoteDescription}</font></th>
               <!--<td bgcolor="#C0C0C0"><font face="Arial">Image</font></td>-->
               <th bgcolor="#C0C0C0"><font face="Arial">{!$Label.quoteQuantity}</font></th>
               <th bgcolor="#C0C0C0"><font face="Arial">{!$Label.quoteTotalPerPosition}</font></th>
            </tr>
        </thead>
        <tr>
            <apex:repeat value="{!lstQuoteLineItems}" var="quoteLineItemObj"> 
                <tr>
                     <td style="vertical-align:top">{!quoteLineItemObj.Position__c}</td>
                     <td style="vertical-align:top">{!quoteLineItemObj.Description}<br/>
                         <apex:outputField value="{!quoteLineItemObj.Product_Detail__c}"/> 
                     </td>            
                     <td style="vertical-align:top"><apex:outputText value="               {!quoteLineItemObj.Quantity}" /></td>
                     <td style="vertical-align:top"><apex:OutputField value=" {!quoteLineItemObj.Total_Per_Position__c}"/></td>
                 </tr>
                 <tr><td><br/></td></tr>
           </apex:repeat>
       </tr></table>

 

Does anybody implemented this sought of functionality; if yes, could you please share your thought or tell me what I am doing wrong here!!

 

Thanks in advance!!

Hi,

You can use the below code for repeat the header in PDF

 

<head>

<style>

  pre

    {  

    white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; /* Mozilla, supported since 1999 */

    white-space: -pre-wrap; /* Opera 4 - 6 */

    white-space: -o-pre-wrap; /* Opera 7 */

    white-space: pre-wrap; /* CSS3 - Text module (Candidate Recommendation) http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-text/#white-space */

    word-wrap: break-word; /* IE 5.5+ */

    }

 

 

 

 

 

   @page :first

  { 

  

    margin-top:0%;

    @top-center

    {

     content: element(header2);

    }

  }

 

  @page

  {

    margin-top: 15%;

    @top-center

    {

        content: element(header1);

    }

   

    @bottom-right

    {

        content: "Page: " counter(page) " / " counter(pages);font-size: 80%; 

    }

  }

 

  div.header1

  {

    position: running(header1);

    width:703px;       

    padding-left:9px;

  }

  div.header2

  {

    width:700px;    

    padding-bottom:0px;

    padding-left:2px;

  

  }

Change the red marks with your column name

Hi Kulkarni,

 

I understand that you are trying to repeat the header in every page and it should be repeated only when the number of pages increases. I would suggest you to refer this code which defines the header as a separate division which will repeat based on the number of pages.

 

<div class="header">
<div>
<table width="100%" height = "100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
 <td width="45%" align="right">
<img style="WIDTH:120px; HEIGHT: 50px" src='{!URLFOR($Resource.Logo)}' title="logo" />
</td>
</table>
</div>
</div>

 

Hope this will help you, kindly mark it as a solution if it helps you so that other will also be able to see the solution.

 

You can revert in case of any clarifications.

Hello Kulkarni,

 

I have the exact same requirement as you and was wondering if you finally found a solution ...

 

Could you repeat the header on each page when rendering the VF Page in PDF ?

 

Thank you very much.

Hi,

 

Yes its quite possible; I referenced this link

 

http://wiki.developerforce.com/page/Creating_Professional_PDF_Documents_with_CSS_and_Visualforce

 

Hope you will be able to solve your issue using this..

Well, I don't know if it will do the trick but you can try:

 for the HTML code :

 

<table>
   <thead>
      <tr>
         <th> ..... </th>
         <th> ..... </th>
         <th> ..... </th>
      </tr>
   </thead>

   <tbody>
       <tr>
         <th> ..... </th>
         <th> ..... </th>
         <th> ..... </th>
      </tr>
   </tbody>
</table>

And  for the CSS. (between style tags):

 

table {-fs-table-paginate: paginate;}

 

It worked for me (I'm using version 25 of visualforce).

 

Cheers!
