Re: FN-FORUM: Flying at half mast

Thanks for the reply Tony, and don't worry, there's no need to be =20
tactful about the coding. I'm more than happy to admit I don't have a =20=

clue, but for now it looks right until I can afford to get someone to =20=

sort it properly.

I tried your change and I think it probably did what you expected it =20
to, but I suspect I didn't explain clearly enough. Making your change =20=

makes the right panel determine the height of the white area. This =20
makes the whole thing out of proportion to me which is why I wanted =20
to have the scrolling panel on the right =96 god knows it took me long =20=

enough to get it to do that. I know the cell has a height of 500px as =20=

a sort of forced minimum. I presume that is the height where the =20
scrollable box stops, and stays :o(

Oh well, I'll keep fiddling, but thanks for the idea...
