I'm using a display:table to view some report data on a jsp page. I want to use it to exploit the csv/excel export of display table tag. I need to add over the columns header with column name another header, that connect logically the column under it. This is an example:
+--------------------------------------------+
| File || Record |
+--------------------------------------------+
+-------------------------------------------------------+
| Sort id ||Col1 || col2 || ... || Coln||col1||coln |
+------------------------------------+------------------+
I tried to use a display:caption with the following code as first object into display table node:
<display:caption>
<tr class="header">
<th style="background: white" colspan="1"></th>
<th class="header" colspan="8">File</th>
<th class="header" colspan="1">Record</th>
</tr>
</display:caption>
It add the column, but under the column name thead :( :
+-------------------------------------------------------+
| Sort id |Col1 || col2 || ... | Coln||col1||coln |
+------------------------------------+------------------+
+--------------------------------------------+
| File || Record |
+--------------------------------------------+
Somebody know if is possible to inject into thead automatically generated by display table tag html code to insert a thead over, or insert in some other way a row over the columns row name header?
I find a solution. Adding in display caption the header that i want enclosed into thead node, it add over column display thead:
<display:caption>
**<thead>**
<tr class="header">
<th style="background: white" colspan="1"></th>
<th class="header" colspan="8">File</th>
<th class="header" colspan="1">Record</th>
</tr>
**</thead>**
</display:caption>
I do not love this solution, but it works!
