Absolute position and number-rows-spanned
I'm having an issue with a table and an absolutely positioned block container. I am unsure whether it is resulting from my lack of experience or a bug in FOP. I am using FOP 0.94 and rendering PDFs.
I want to position the table absolutely within the page header. The only way I know to do this is with a block-container. The problem is that when I include the absoulte-position attribute, FOP ignores my number-columns-spanned attribute on the cells in the third row. If I remove the absolute-position attribute, the table renders correctly (but obviously not where I want it to).
Also interesting to me is that if I specify a height="10mm" attribute for the table rows and leave the absolute-position attribute in place, the table structure is rendered correctly and positioned where I want, but 10mm is far to tall. If I go down to a more reasonable height="5mm", number-rows-spanned is ignored and I get the following message:
Jan 16, 2008 9:02:40 AM org.apache.fop.layoutmgr.table.TableContentLayoutManagercreateElementsForRowGroup
WARNING: The contents of row 4 are taller than they should be (there is a block-progression-dimension or height constraint on the indicated row). Due to its contents the row grows to 19200 millipoints, but the row shouldn't get any taller than MinOptMax[min=opt=max=14173] millipoints. (fo:table-row, location: 121/28)
My inclination would be to call it a bug because Antenna House's XSL Formatter (V4.2 Evaluation) renders it correctly. I'm still quite new to XSL-FO, however, so I'm unsure if it's something I've done.
Any insight here? Is it a bug? Is my fo bad? Is there a way to absolutely position the table and get it's structure to render correctly?
Thanks!
Dave G.

Just what I needed. Thanks for the help!

Right, there's something wrong there. For some reason the table is
broken into two parts even thought the block-container is in auto-size
mode. I'll have to investigate that.
But I've got a work-around for you: Set the height property on the
block-container and set the value so that the entire table has enough
room. Then the problem goes away.

Right, there's something wrong there. For some reason the table is
broken into two parts even thought the block-container is in auto-size
mode. I'll have to investigate that.
But I've got a work-around for you: Set the height property on the
block-container and set the value so that the entire table has enough
room. Then the problem goes away.
