How to double space rows in VisualForce PDF PageBlockTable

 Here is the code that works well but output one line per row.  The new requirement is to output a blank row after each data row.  Any and all help is appreciated.

 

<apex:pageBlockTable value="{!sc}" var="u" style="width:100%">
                    <apex:column >                       
                        <apex:image id="theImage" value="/img/checkbox_checked.gif" width="15" height="15"/>        
                    </apex:column>
                     <apex:column style="width:100%">
                        <apex:outputText value="{!u.stringConditionsText}" style="width:100%"/>
                     </apex:column>                      
</apex:pageBlockTable>

Hey I just used this 

And seems working

 

<apex:page standardController="Contact">
    <apex:form id="frm" >
     <apex:pageBlock >
     <table border="0" width="100%">
      <tr>
         <th>&nbsp;</th>
         <th>&nbsp;</th>
      </tr>
      <tr>
         <td style="white-space:nowrap;">
            <apex:image id="theImage" value="/img/checkbox_checked.gif" width="15" height="15" style="float:left"/>                                   
         </td>
         <td>All instruments must be placed in accordance with current NewCode's Accessibility Policy &amp; Guidelines for Humanitarian Support locations important water ways and by ways </td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
         <td >
            &nbsp;
         </td>
         <td>
            &nbsp;
         </td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
         <th>&nbsp;</th>
         <th>&nbsp;</th>
      </tr>
      <tr>
         <td style="white-space:nowrap;">
            <apex:image value="/img/checkbox_checked.gif" width="15" height="15" style="float:left"/>                                   
         </td>
         <td>All instruments must be placed in accordance with current NewCode's Accessibility Policy &amp; Guidelines for Humanitarian Support locations important water ways and by ways All instruments must be placed in accordance with current NewCode's Accessibility Policy &amp; Guidelines for Humanitarian</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
         <td >
            &nbsp;
         </td>
         <td>
            &nbsp;
         </td>
      </tr>
   </table>
   </apex:pageBlock>
    </apex:form>
</apex:page>

 

 

So the actula code should be 

 

<apex:page standardController="Contact">
    <apex:form id="frm" >
     <apex:pageBlock >
     <table border="0" width="100%">
      <apex:repeat value="" var"s">
       <tr>
         <th>&nbsp;</th>
         <th>&nbsp;</th>
      </tr>
      <tr>
         <td style="white-space:nowrap;">
            <apex:image id="theImage" value="/img/checkbox_checked.gif" width="15" height="15" style="float:left"/>                                   
         </td>
            <td>{!s.SomeField__c}</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
         <td >
            &nbsp;
         </td>
         <td>
            &nbsp;
         </td>
      </tr>
         </apex:repeat>
   </table>
   </apex:pageBlock>
    </apex:form>
</apex:page>

I think it will be better if you use apex:repeat for this req.

 

Hope it helps

 

<table border="0" >

<tr>

<th>Image</th>

<th>String Conditions</th>

</tr>

<apex:repeat var="cases" value="{!Account.Cases}">

<tr>

<td><apex:image id="theImage" value="/img/checkbox_checked.gif"  height="15"/></td>

<td><apex:outputText value="{!u.stringConditionsText}" /></td>


</tr>
<tr>

<td><apex:outputText value=""/></td>

<td><apex:outputText value="" /></td>


</tr>

</apex:repeat>

 </table>

Thanks very much for the speedy response.  I am getting the double space but the image and the corresponding text are on separate lines.  Do you know how I could get both to stay on the same line?

Hello,

 

Thanks again for all you help.  Here is what I have but the data is still displayed on two rows:

 

<apex:repeat var="u" value="{!sc}">
                   <table border="0">
                       <tr>
                      <th></th>
                      <th></th>
                      </tr><tr>   
                           <td style="white-space:nowrap;">
                              <apex:image id="theImage" value="/img/checkbox_checked.gif" width="15" height="15"/>                             
                              <apex:outputText value="{!u.stringConditionsText}" />
                           </td>
                      </tr>
                      <tr>
                         <td >   
                             <apex:outputText value="" />      
                         </td>
                         <td>        
                             <apex:outputText value="" />      
                         </td>
                        </tr>
                     </table>
                  </apex:repeat>
Avidev9Avidev9

Try this

 

<apex:repeat var="u" value="{!sc}">
   <table border="0">
      <tr>
         <th></th>
         <th></th>
      </tr>
      <tr>
         <td style="white-space:nowrap;">
            <apex:image id="theImage" value="/img/checkbox_checked.gif" width="15" height="15" style="float:left"/>
            <apex:outputText value="{!u.stringConditionsText}" style="float:left"/>
            <div style="clear:both"/>
         </td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
         <td >
            <apex:outputText value="" />
         </td>
         <td>
            <apex:outputText value="" />
         </td>
      </tr>

made some minor changes !

 

<table border="0" width="100%">

         <th>Header 2</th>
      </tr>

            <div style="clear:both"/>
         </td>
         <td>Some Value</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
         <td >
            <apex:outputText value="Value 1" />

         <td>
            <apex:outputText value="Value 2" />

 Have a look at the screen here https://www.diigo.com/item/image/4279c/9vim
VibrateVibrate

 

Avi,

 

I have a lot more text than your example.  My text is similar to the following (Imagine this as two seperate lines each prefixed by the image).:

 

All instruments must be placed in accordance with current NewCode's "Accessibility Policy & Guidelines for

Humanitarian Support locations Along important water ways and by ways".

 

Waterway repair may require reasonable grind and overlay a minimum of 40' (max. 650') on each side of excavation

as directed by NewCode Senior Engineer.

 

 

Thanks,

Do one more thing

 

assign a fixed width to the TD. well change it according to your need

 

<td style="white-space:nowrap;" width="300px">
            <div>
             <apex:image id="theImage" value="/img/checkbox_checked.gif" width="15" height="15" style="float:left"/>
            <apex:outputText value="TEst" style="float:left"/>
            <div style="clear:both"/>
            </div>
         </td>

Avi,

 

I don't know if this is helpful but changing the width makes the text to wrap less/more depending on increasing/decreasing the width.

Can you post the actual html generated ?

ou have some problem with the code have a look here

</tr>
<tr>

 Please check your code. have a look at the above code the image and text are placed in different td.

 

Well one suggestion try to wrap the table inside a <apex:ouputPanel layout="block">

else if it doesnt work post your visualforce code
VibrateVibrate
Avi,
You are right the output apex tags seem to be generating additional tr and td tags. The code has both image and text in the same td element but I belive ViduslForce is generating additional tags. I will try using the outputPanel as suggested when I return from my meeting.
Thanks,
Vibrate

As you suggested, I wrapped the entire table in the output panel, but it did not make a difference.  The image and text are still being displayed on separate lines:

                              <apex:outputText value="{!u.stringConditionsText}" style="float:left"/>                             
                                                     <div style="clear:both"/>

What is the exact code in your page ?

Well overlooked the code! I found a conflict!

The repeat tag should be inside the table!

            <apex:outputText value="{!u.stringConditionsText}" style="float:left"/>
            <div style="clear:both"/>

I cant guess!
the idea is there are extra td and tr inserted in your page that shouldnt be there!.

I tried this myself and my html came pretty clean, not sure where you are wrong

I just want to thank you for your help.  I really appreciated the time you spent trying to help me solve this issue.  If I find a solution I will make sure to add it to this post.

By anychance you have this inside a pageblock ?
can you take it out ?
Avidev9Avidev9

I am not sure what is the code/css there if everything fails you can give it a try

 

<apex:repeat var="u" value="{!sc}">
                          
<div style="margin-top:15px;margin-bottom:15px;white-space:nowrap;">
  <apex:image id="theImage" value="/img/checkbox_checked.gif" width="15px" height="15px" style="float:left;"/>  
  <apex:outputText value="{!u.stringConditionsText}" style="float:left"/>                             
</div>
</apex:repeat>

Avi,

 

I removed the code from inside the "pageBlock" but got the same result as when it was inside the "pageBlock".

Avi,

Just like last time, the HTML generated is creating two rows, one for the image and one for the text.

Thanks,
Vibrate
VibrateVibrate

Avi,

 

With this code I don't get the double-spacing but it keeps the image and the text on the same row even though the rows are singled-spaced.  In the generated HTML I can see that both items are in the same "tr" tag.

 

<apex:pageBlockTable value="{!sc}" var="u" style="width:100%">
                    <apex:column >                       
                        <apex:image id="theImage" value="/img/checkbox_checked.gif" width="15" height="15"/>        
                    </apex:column>
                     <apex:column style="width:100%">

Hey I just used this 

And seems working

 

<apex:page standardController="Contact">
    <apex:form id="frm" >
     <apex:pageBlock >
     <table border="0" width="100%">
      <tr>
         <th>&nbsp;</th>
         <th>&nbsp;</th>
      </tr>
      <tr>
         <td style="white-space:nowrap;">
            <apex:image id="theImage" value="/img/checkbox_checked.gif" width="15" height="15" style="float:left"/>                                   
         </td>
         <td>All instruments must be placed in accordance with current NewCode's Accessibility Policy &amp; Guidelines for Humanitarian Support locations important water ways and by ways </td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
         <td >
            &nbsp;
         </td>
         <td>
            &nbsp;
         </td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
         <th>&nbsp;</th>
         <th>&nbsp;</th>
      </tr>
      <tr>
         <td style="white-space:nowrap;">
            <apex:image value="/img/checkbox_checked.gif" width="15" height="15" style="float:left"/>                                   
         </td>
         <td>All instruments must be placed in accordance with current NewCode's Accessibility Policy &amp; Guidelines for Humanitarian Support locations important water ways and by ways All instruments must be placed in accordance with current NewCode's Accessibility Policy &amp; Guidelines for Humanitarian</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
         <td >
            &nbsp;
         </td>
         <td>
            &nbsp;
         </td>
      </tr>
   </table>
   </apex:pageBlock>
    </apex:form>
</apex:page>

 

 

So the actula code should be 

 

<apex:page standardController="Contact">
    <apex:form id="frm" >
     <apex:pageBlock >
     <table border="0" width="100%">
      <apex:repeat value="" var"s">
       <tr>
         <th>&nbsp;</th>
         <th>&nbsp;</th>
      </tr>
      <tr>
         <td style="white-space:nowrap;">
            <apex:image id="theImage" value="/img/checkbox_checked.gif" width="15" height="15" style="float:left"/>                                   
         </td>
            <td>{!s.SomeField__c}</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
         <td >
            &nbsp;
         </td>
         <td>
            &nbsp;
         </td>
      </tr>
         </apex:repeat>
   </table>
   </apex:pageBlock>
    </apex:form>
</apex:page>

This is doing exactly what I need.  YOU ARE THE MANNNN!:

 

<apex:pageBlock >
     <table border="0" width="100%">
      <apex:repeat value="{!sc}" var="u">
       <tr>
         <th>&nbsp;</th>
         <th>&nbsp;</th>
      </tr>
      <tr>
         <td style="white-space:nowrap;">
            <apex:image id="theImage" value="/img/checkbox_checked.gif" width="15" height="15" style="float:left"/>                                  
         </td>
            <td>{!u.stringConditionsText}</td>
