Hi,

following Scenario:

I filled an HTML\_AREA with thumbnails of images. When clicking one of the thumbnails a new form with an HTML\_AREA opens up for a detailled view of the Image.  
In order to resize the HTML\_AREA depending on the Size of the Image i have two VAR with Width and Height.  
Resizing the HTML\_AREA dynamically with “elements” is working fine. Is there anything for the Form itself like “setSize” or something?

Thanks.

Regards,  
Christof

Hi Christof,

you can anchor the html\_area on the form, you can just open a form in dialog with the correct dimensions.  
This way you don’t have to set any of the dimensions on either the html\_area/form.

Hope this helps.
