mehta.sagar Can someone provide me an example of colpsan in <apex:column> for <apex:pageBlockTable>
I am trying to populate a table using <apex:pageBlockTable>.
It has columns which requires colspan on few of them. can anybody help me in this scenario.
I do not want to try colspan using <table> tag. Since normal tag would not give me the styling of <apex:pageBlockTable> tag. I could not figure out the exact code for it. Following is the code snippet:
<apex:pageBlockSection >
<apex:pageBlockTable value="{!monthlyStatementList}" var="expense">
<apex:column headerValue="Date" value="{!expense.expenseDate}"/>
<apex:column headerValue="Day" value="{!expense.day}"/>
<apex:column headerValue="Town" value="{!expense.fromMarket}" colspan="2"/>
<apex:column headerValue="Town" value="{!expense.toMarket}" colspan="2"/>
</apex:pageBlockTable>
</apex:pageBlockSection>
Colspan is only relevant is you are using multiple rows via "breakBefore" on a column. Otherwise, the browser will still set a calculated size automatically that won't be twice the size (which I presume is what you're looking for). Instead, consider using "width" instead: Set the first two columns to "16%", and set the other two columns to "34%".
I want an equivalent code sample of colspan using <apex:pageBlockTable> and <apex:column> code to the following code of html table tag :
<table>
<tr>
<td>Date</td>
<td>Day</td>
<td colspan="2">Town</td>
</tr>
<apex:repeat value="{!monthlyStatementList}" var="expense">
<tr>
<td>"{!expense.expenseDate}"</td>
<td>"{!expense.expenseDay}"</td>
<td>{!expense.fromMarket}</td>
<td>{!expense.toMarket}</td>
</tr>
</apex:repeat>
</table>
I tried hard to apply colspan on <apex:column> tag but could not figure out how to to it. Is there any way i can use the visualforce tags without having to touch the html <table> tags for applying the colspan effect. And the width suggestion provided does not span the heade. Please can anyone help me in this?
