Why are my lines so light?

This is the code Sesame is generating for a "Line" element in my reports:
Code
Select All
<TD ALIGN=LEFT VALIGN=TOP><FONT COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" STYLE="FONT-SIZE:11pt"><HR></FONT></TD> 


On screen these look OK, a little grayed out, but there.  However, when printed they're nearly invisible.  I know I can get fancy and replace all these with handmade HTML code, but I wish that wasn't necessary, as I have a boatload of reports and they all use the Line element in some way.  Is there some setting in my browser that I need to tweak to get these Sesame-generated lines to print?

Bump.  Hmmm, I guess no one else is having this problem.  But here's another question I'll toss out there:  Is it possible to adapt Sesame so that when I put a Line element in a report it configures the <HR> in the HTML code as <HR NOSHADE WIDTH=100% size=3 COLOR=#000000> ...?

You can either do an ReportHTMLFilter() to swap the <HR> to <HR NOSHADE WIDTH=100% size=3 COLOR=#000000>

Or you can add Static text of <HR NOSHADE WIDTH=100% size=3 COLOR=#000000> to the report instead of the line elements.

Is there any way to mass replace all Line elements in a report with a Static Text element with this value?

I'm afraid not.

Hi Scott.

May be able to that with a third party utility.  Contact me off line.

Actually, you may also be able to do something sneaky with XML Export/Import. Hmmm...
