Hi, I wanted to find out how to specify fields to appear side-by-side in BIRT layout e.g.- City State Zip in a address line. By default, it seems to put the fields one below another and I can't seem to find a way to reposition them side-by-side
BIRT 2.6.0 and Eclipse Helios
I use BIRT 2.3.2, and it normally puts fields side-by-side, by default. This may be an issue to do with which report item type you are using to display your data - try using a table, rather than a list report item.
I would use a grid to control the placement of the controls on the page. BIRT uses a web design metaphor and as such things need to be placed explicitly on a page. When you are building a page in simple HTML you often need a table or some other structural element to control how one piece of text (or image) relates to another. BIRT is no different in this regard.
Good Luck!
