Change to the HTMLCSS Command (HTML/DHTML)

The following are release considerations and product changes for HTMLCSS:

  • The default value for the HTMLCSS parameter has changed to ON. All core WebFOCUS styling is activated by this change.
    • Due to this change in the default, you must add the SET HTMLCSS=OFF command to the procedure to provide continued support for external cascading style sheet styling.
    • When HTMLCSS=ON, and grids are enabled, the inner gridlines inherit the color applied to the font defined in each cell.
    • When HTMLCSS=ON and SQUEEZE=OFF, the em font measurement is used. The em font measurement is based on the point size of the font, which is the height of the character set including ascenders, descenders, and gap spacing. An em font measurement is wider than the largest letter in the font, usually a capital M or W, because it is not a measurement of width. Given these font measurement considerations, for requests with SQUEEZE=OFF, the following is recommended for the column width calculation to be the largest column value or the width of the column title, whichever is larger:
      • Use proportional font.
      • Add the SET HTMLCSS=OFF command to the procedure.
