5 Reviewing the Source Code for the Report Block

5.1.1 Reviewing the Header Tag and Body

1. In the Web Source view, locate the <!-- Header --> line.

   This HTML code indicates a comment line that helps you locate the report heading information in the file.

2. Locate the <th> and <tr> tags, which should look something like this:

   <tr>
   <th <rw:id id="HBEMPLOYEEID92" asArray="no" /> 
   class="OraColumnHeader">Employee Id </th>
   <th <rw:id id="HBempname92" asArray="no" /> class="OraColumnHeader"> Emp 
   Name </th>
   ...
   

5.1.2 Reviewing the rw:foreach Tag and Body

The rw:foreach tag loops across a group. The layout is repeated for each instance of the specified group.

1. In the Web Source view, locate the <rw:foreach> JSP tag and find this line:

   <rw:foreach id="R_G_EMPLOYEE_ID921" src="G_EMPLOYEE_ID">
   
   

   Here, R_G_EMPLOYEEID is a unique identifier for this loop and G_EMPLOYEE_ID is the data model group on which the loop repeats.

2. Notice that the </tbody> tag that closes the table follows the closing </rw:foreach> tag, as shown here:

        <td <rw:headers id=HFDEPARTMENTID92" src...>
      </tr>
     </rw:foreach>
   </tbody>
