Then, it will be very convenient for users if web reporting tool can highlight current row and column in data inputting.

Difficulty
Most web reporting tools don’t provide this function, and programmers have to realize it by programming. Then, two main problems need to be solved are as follows:

1. Get the current location of the cursor.

2. Reload onClick event or similar focus event.

However, as common web reporting tools don’t open these properties, it is difficult for programmers.

Solution
Now, there is a wonderful available choice for users! As a professional Web reporting tool, RAQ Report provides this function with easy operation, the only thing users need to do is defining corresponding properties in JSP, like background color and border.
