AnonymousIs there any way to change the page height of a form at the page level? Or more to he point, make the page height variable based on content, so that page 1 can be 400 pixels high and page 2 be 550 pixels high?
The only workaround I can think of is pretty ugly: transfer contents of one form to another form – all in the same workflow. My client is not happy about the fixed window size limitation. Any ideas?

The size is a form property and therefore of course will be effective for all/any pages on your form.
One workaround is as you mention (with the parent/child relationship usually) or you could design the form such that on your smaller pages, you have at the bottom a suitably coloured ‘picture’ object (white perhaps) that presents the view of that page to be smaller. Using other design methods like a horizontal line to highlight the bottom of the form as well can make the end user think they are looking at a smaller page

AnonymousHi – I tried inserting an image at the bottom of the form. That looks like it will work.
However, the form adds 2 pixels to the rendered dimensions so I’m left with a small border around the image. When I try to adjust the form size in the code, JS adds scroll bars.
Any suggestions?

could you send over the form to us at support@perfectforms.com along with some screen shots of what it is you are seeing and what browser it is here being used and we can have a look

AnonymousFor a couple of reasons, it may be a day or two before I can do that. Right now, I’m trying a different page layout to avoid the issue, but the client may have other plans… thanks.

June 2, 2009 at 8:46 am #4577I wonder if ‘form properties’ – Drop shadow may be involved – have you that option enabled ?

AnonymousNo – that’s the first thing I checked. The problem is the PF form is 770 pixels wide. My “filler” image is 770 wide. When I publish, the code results in: (truncated for security)
“…player.aspx”, “flexApplicationNDA=”, “f=oBgAgAkB&secure=false”, “772”, “1302”, “transparent”);
This puts a white border around the form. If I change the parameters to 770 and 1300, I get scroll bars. I suspect the Flash object can be launched without a border but not sure where or how to effect that.
I will send this post and the image to the support team. Thanks.
