Colspan not being honored when rendering PDF

#26589

Similar to http://pd4ml.com/support/html-css-to-pdf-rendering-issues-f3/how-to-put-a-colspan-of-td-tag-in-table-t307.html?hilit=colspan, http://pd4ml.com/support/html-css-to-pdf-rendering-issues-f3/colspan-rowspan-not-rendering-t317.html?hilit=colspan and http://pd4ml.com/support/html-css-to-pdf-rendering-issues-f3/is-it-work-html-td-colspan-attribute-in-pd4ml-t308.html?hilit=colspan, I cannot get the colspan attribute to be honored in a rendered PDF. I tried with the simple case as given in one of those threads and got the exact same result as the orignal poster did.

<br /> <table><br /> <tr><br /> <td class="blank" >data</td><br /> <td class="blank" >data</td><br /> <td class="blank" >data</td><br /> <td class="blank" >data</td><br /> <td class="blank" >data</td><br /> </tr><br /> <tr><br /> <td class="blank" colspan="3"></td><br /> <td class="blank" colspan="2"></td><br /> </tr><br /> </table><br />

I am using PD4ml Volume 3.71b4, with the following settings:

Page dimensions: LETTER, PORTRAIT
Margins: 12px (all)
HTML Width: 1050
Author Name: Set
Smart Table Breaks: true
Image Split: false

Is this an issue arising from a setting? I have tried it on both Linux and windows systems with the same results both times.

Just to close the topic.

The issue was caused by an interference with an older version of CSS parser JAR in the classpath (or in shared lib/ directory).

Josh, thank you for the info!

Exactly correct – the conflicting jar was from an old implementation of HTMLUnit (cssparser-0.9.5.jar). Thank you for your assistance!
