SMARTFORMS HTML - Inline CSS

Former Member — Tue, 15 Mar 2016 15:37:28 GMT

Hello!

There is a known issue with opening HTML SmartForm with CSS <HEAD><STYLE> block definition in the e-Mail clients, like Outlook.

The solution to the problem is to use inline CSS definition in HTML.

SAP gives a SmartForm generation option to set XSF parameter FORMAT-LOCATION to the following values:

I have set the parameter to INLINE; however it doesn't work.

The only change are empty style="" attributes in HTML tags.

Does anyone know if there is any way to make it working?

Here is the solution...

There is an error in SAP, particulary in SF_XSLT transformation. (Package SMART)

<xsl:when test="($p_fmt_location = $cxsf_css_loc_inline)">

<xsl:attribute name='style'><xsl:value-of select='@xhtml:style' /></xsl:attribute>

In the formula above there the style definition is referenced by the namespace xhtml: select='@xhtml:style' .

The problem is that there is no such namespace declaration in the header.

By adding the two lines:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:xml="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml"
xmlns:xsf="urn:sap-com:SmartForms:2000:xsf"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:xfa="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-template/2.1/"
xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
exclude-result-prefixes="xsf"
exclude-result-prefixes="xhtml"
>

…the problem is solved.
