Table end line do not appear in the continued page

[saqi]

Hello
I am trying to draw a table. every thing is working fine. but the issue is that if i give the cell border="0pt" and do not give any other border. to row or column. now the issue is that when one page is filled with the data the last line is not drawn and the table continues to the next page until the last page comes. at the last page this table is closed and the end line is drawn. what i want is to close the table in all the pages and continue filling the data to the next pages. howz its possible?
Thanks
Regards,
Saqib Javed

You don't provide much to go on.  'border="0pt"' should have no effect
anyway since you don't set the style, and the default border style is
'none'.

You don't say which XSL formatter you are using.  If your formatter
supports it, you could try border-collapse="collapse-with-precedence"
[3] on your fo:table so the table's border has precedence (though you
also don't say what border you are using on the table).

Table borders at page breaks is not completely defined in XSL 1.1, not
least because XSL 1.0 table processing tried for compatibility with
CSS2, and CSS2 doesn't say anything about table borders at page breaks
AFAICT.

A similar question to xsl-editors@... [1] received the response [2]
that it wasn't possible to modify XSL 1.0 or 1.1 to more fully specify
the expected results since, whatever would be specified, the extra
detail would make some of the existing implementations become
non-compliant.  The response notes that for XSL 2.0 the WG has decided
to rewrite the text of the table formatting objects to be independent of
the CSS2 Recommendation.

There's also a section about this in the current XSL 2.0 Requirements
draft [4].  As always, highlighting that you need this functionality by
mentioning it when you fill out the requirements survey [5] or using the
W3C Bugzilla system [6] would let the Working Group know that this
feature would be important to people.

Hello Tony,
Thanks for your support. im using XSL-Formatter by Antenna House. I've no idea whether its suporting border-collapse or not.
Actullay i want a table design to be like in the attached file.where there will be no row border shown accept the header. now when the data will be populated the table will grow accordingly and as soon as the page break comes the end of table line will be shown and the table will continue to the next page.
but i guess thats not possible so far as far as I got the idea from Tonyz mail.
is it?
thanks any ways.
Regards,
Saqib Javed

Hi,

 To resolve the problem just add an empty footer to the table,

<fo:table-footer>

</fo:table-footer>

this will make the bottom border to bisplay at each page break
