text area field in web client

Classic Servoy
1

How do you get a text area to display in web client table view. I am getting only one line with a vertical scroll bar.

2

I am using Servoy 5.1.

3

just tried it and seems to work fine in a small example; does it happen in all browsers ? do you have a sample to illustrate this ?

4

I have added a small solution to show the issue. I also posted a question about the labels not lining up with the fields, and this solution show that also.
I have all the functionality working in my solution, but just can’t seem to work this display issue out.

Thanks for you help.

I imported the servoy_crm_sample that is in the 5.1 examples and the labels are not lined up with the data fields in that solution when you start it in Web Client.

the text area displays fine for me: what Servoy version and browser do you use ?

IE version 7.0.5730.13

Version: 5.1.0 - build 956

I have tried this in Firefox 3.6 and get the same results.

The first shows the test application with a text_area field. The second is the crm that shows labels not lining up with data fields.

ok, i see what you mean now:

  • the label alignment is a bug that is fixed in current code and will be included in next release; however maybe you want to use the labelfor functionality instead ? (see ,for example http://forum.servoy.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=11537); also your sample was not correct (in order to align), because the columns take the width of the fields, so you have to fit the fields exactly in the form
  • about the text area, in webclient tableview all fields have the same height (which is taken as height of first field); so, you can only increase the height of all fields, we don’t currently support different heights (if this is what you want I think there are beans that support that)

I will have to change the forms to accomodate for this.

Thanks again.
