Hi,

I want to dynamically resize rows and columns with JavaScript in EO.PDF 6.0.36.2, but the JavaScript engine returns far to small values for every width property.

Code:

Copy

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
      <style type="text/css">
          table.parent       { table-layout: fixed; width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; border-spacing: 0; border-color: blue; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px; }
      </style>
  </head>
  <body>
      <table id="tableparent" class="parent">
          <tr id="tablerow">
              <td id="tablecolumn">
                   
              </td>
          </tr>
<script>
  var tableparent = document.getElementById('tableparent');
  var tablerow = document.getElementById('tablerow');
  var tablecolumn = document.getElementById('tablecolumn');

  console.log("PARENT offsetwidth: " + tableparent.offsetWidth + " width: " + tableparent.width + " clientwidth: " + tableparent.clientwidth + " scrollwidth: " + tableparent.scrollWidth);
  console.log("ROW offsetwidth: " + tablerow.offsetWidth + " width: " + tablerow.width + " clientwidth: " + tablerow.clientwidth + " scrollwidth: " + tablerow.scrollWidth);
  console.log("COLUMN offsetwidth: " + tablecolumn.offsetWidth + " width: " + tablecolumn.width + " clientwidth: " + tablecolumn.clientwidth + " scrollwidth: " + tablecolumn.scrollWidth);
</script>
      </table>
  </body>
</html>

Height is working, but width only returns correct values if the width is set to absolute values (e.g "width: 100px;") not in percentage ("width: 100%;") as in my example. Every tested browser (IE, Chrome, Firefox) returns correct values for my example, but not EO.

EO (6.0.36.2) Log for the above html:

Code:

Copy

PARENT offsetwidth: 1 width: clientwidth: undefined scrollwidth: 6
ROW offsetwidth: 0 width: undefined clientwidth: undefined scrollwidth: 0
COLUMN offsetwidth: 0 width: clientwidth: undefined scrollwidth: 5

Chrome (43.0.2357.124) Log for the above html:

Code:

Copy

PARENT offsetwidth: 1533 width: clientwidth: undefined scrollwidth: 1532
ROW offsetwidth: 1532 width: undefined clientwidth: undefined scrollwidth: 1532
COLUMN offsetwidth: 1532 width: clientwidth: undefined scrollwidth: 1531

Do I have to calculate the width by myself because relative values are not supported or is this a bug in the current Version?

Thanks
Guenter

Hi,

Please try to add a slight delay to the script code. You would do something like this:

Code: JavaScript

Copy

setTimeout(function()
{
     ....your original code here....
}, 300);

The reason is the layout engine works asynchronously. So it's possible that the stylesheet has not been fully applied when your script is run. Thus adding a small time delay would allow your script to get the correct value.

Thanks!

Thanks for your help

We use EO.PDF in a productive solution and it's probably very hard to find a time out value, that works with all customers. E.g. if I extend the given sample with a small canvas and use 300 as a time out value, nothing is drawn on the canvas, but 200 does work

e.g

Code:

Copy

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
      <style type="text/css">
          table.parent       { table-layout: fixed; width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; border-spacing: 0; border-color: blue; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px; }
      </style>
  </head>
  <body>
      <table id="tableparent" class="parent">
          <tr id="tablerow">
              <td id="tablecolumn">
                  <canvas id="stroke"></canvas>
              </td>
          </tr>
<script>
  setTimeout(function()
  {

      var tableparent = document.getElementById('tableparent');
      var tablerow = document.getElementById('tablerow');
      var tablecolumn = document.getElementById('tablecolumn');
      var stroke = document.getElementById('stroke');

      var context = stroke.getContext('2d');
      context.beginPath();
context.lineWidth = 1;
      context.moveTo(0, stroke.height);
      context.lineTo(tablecolumn.scrollWidth, 0);
context.stroke();
      context.closePath();
  }, 300);


</script>
      </table>
  </body>
</html>

Does EO have a JavaScript API, that gives access to the event when everything is rendered? The usual suspects document.onload and window.onload don't work

Thanks
