HTML-Specific Rendering Rules
- The renderer builds an HTML table structure to contain all of the items in each ReportItems collection, if there is more than one.
Every item within the table structure occupies a single cell. - Empty cells are collapsed together as much as possible to reduce the size of the HTML.
- A row of empty cells is added to the top edge and another column to the left edge to improve the speed at which browsers can render the table.
- Table rows or columns that contain no items, just gaps between items, are given fixed widths and heights.
- All other rows and columns are allowed to grow depending on the size of each report item.
- All coordinates and report item sizes are converted to millimeters. All other sizes, including style properties, retain their original units. Size and position differences smaller than .2mm are treated as 0mm.
Interactivity
Show and Hide
A report item whose visibility can be toggled is rendered with a +/- toggle image and is clickable. When the item is clicked, a call back to the server takes place in order to re-render the output with the changed show or hide state.
Document Map
Document map labels are rendered and can be navigated to by using the document map in the viewer control. For omitted data region headers, labels are rendered on the first child cell. If there is no child cell present, the label is rendered on the child that precedes it.
Bookmarks
Bookmark links are rendered and appear as hyperlinks. Bookmark targets are rendered and can be navigated to by clicking the bookmark links. When a bookmark link is clicked, the report goes to the first occurrence of the target bookmark label and, when possible, the browser is scrolled so that the bookmark link is at the top of the window. HTML anchor (<a>) tags are used to mark bookmark targets.
Interactive Sorting
If a text box has user sort defined, the HTML rendering extension renders the sort icons in the text box to the right of its contents. If a report contains any text box where user sort is defined, JavaScript is rendered that causes a postback to the server when the sort image is clicked.
Hyperlinks and Drillthrough
Hyperlinks and drillthrough links are rendered as hyperlinks on report items using the HTML anchor (<a>) tags around the item on which they are defined.
