Hi,
I have a document with a dynamic block of text that consists of 1 master table and within that 2 other tables (left and right side). I want to keep the height of the left side the same as the height on the right side.
So I calculated the height of each line on the left side (6 lines) and each line on the right side (6 lines) and when there is a difference on one side I add the difference divided by 6 to each line on the other side to spread the difference evenly across all lines.
For some reason the difference is never correct even though I can see that my post pagination script successfully calculated the difference and added that evenly over all the lines.
Note: In my example the left block height is bigger than the right block height.
Sample screenshot of document:
Snippet of code:
First I calculate the height of each element:
shipper_height = query('#tbl_shipper').height(true);
if (shipper_height == null) shipper_height = 0;
consignee_height = query('#tbl_consignee').height(true);
if (consignee_height == null) consignee_height = 0;
notify_height = query('#tbl_notify').height(true);
if (notify_height == null) notify_height = 0;
...
Then I calculate the size of each block (left and right):
// See if the left side is larger than the right side. If so then divide the difference over the rest of the blocks
block1size = shipper_height + consignee_height + notify_height + placereceipt_height + vessel_height + portdischarge_height;
block2size = bookingno_height + masterblno_height + deliverygoods_height + exportagent_height + secondnotify_height + pointorigin_height;
Then based on the difference I add the proper height to the proper elements:
// Calculate differences and divide remainder over the rest
if (block1size > block2size) {
// The right side has 6 rows
tmpheight = ((block1size - block2size) / 6);
bookingno_height += tmpheight;
blno_height += tmpheight;
terms_height += tmpheight;
masterblno_height += tmpheight;
aexitno_height += tmpheight;
fmcno_height += tmpheight;
deliverygoods_height += tmpheight;
exportagent_height += tmpheight;
secondnotify_height += tmpheight;
pointorigin_height += tmpheight;
numbls_height += tmpheight;
} else {
// The left side also has 6 rows
tmpheight = ((block2size - block1size) / 6);
shipper_height += tmpheight;
consignee_height += tmpheight;
notify_height += tmpheight;
placereceipt_height += tmpheight;
vessel_height += tmpheight;
portloading_height += tmpheight;
portdischarge_height += tmpheight;
finaldest_height += tmpheight;
}
And finally I set the new heights for each element and repaginate:
query('#tbl_shipper').height(shipper_height);
query('#tbl_consignee').height(consignee_height);
query('#tbl_notify').height(notify_height);
query('#tbl_placereceipt').height(placereceipt_height);
query('#tbl_vessel').height(vessel_height);
query('#tbl_portloading').height(portloading_height);
query('#tbl_portdischarge').height(portdischarge_height);
query('#tbl_finaldest').height(finaldest_height);
query('#tbl_bookingno').height(bookingno_height);
query('#tbl_blno').height(blno_height);
query('#tbl_terms').height(terms_height);
query('#tbl_masterblno').height(masterblno_height);
query('#tbl_aexitno').height(aexitno_height);
query('#tbl_fmcno').height(fmcno_height);
query('#tbl_deliverygoods').height(deliverygoods_height);
query('#tbl_exportagent').height(exportagent_height);
query('#tbl_secondnotify').height(secondnotify_height);
query('#tbl_pointorigin').height(pointorigin_height);
query('#tbl_numbls').height(numbls_height);
merge.section.paginate();
Am I forgetting something because it does resize, just not with the amount that it should?
I can add more for each line manually to make it fit but if I then change the amount of text in each field the calculations are once again off.
