Title: Prompt Size Display Problem
Post by: davidsoc on 27 Sep 2005 05:04:33 AM
I have created a prompt page with a number of items on there all held within a table. One of these prompts is of type 'list box' and only has 2 values to select from. (multiple selection set to yes, required set to yes)

The problem occurs when i resize this prompt. The default displays way over the 2 rows required so takes up too much space on the page... hence the resize required. Any changes I make, and no matter which measure i use to resize, I get strange graphical errors when the page is run. It seems like a redraw error or something. It's as if the prompt wants to make itself bigger by default and then the value I've set overrides it.

Could this be a local problem or has anyone else experienced this too?

Thanks

Chris

Sorry... i think it is hard to explain...

Create a value promt with two values to select from.
Multiple = yes
Required = yes

The default size when the page is run is too big (there are many blank lines within the prompt)
So i resize to make the height of the prompt smaller.
Then when the page is run i see an error when moving the mouse over other items in the area highlighted in the attached picture.

The error looks like the bottom of the listbox. It flashes up for a second and then disappears.
