k, i have been posting threads about forms and how they act. i have serious problem with forms. say i start out with a table. for the sake of numbers, i have 5 titles and 5 text fields on the form. on canvas i have everything align prefectly!!! when i publish the movie, the form has expanded downward. i have done some reading about form and can’t find out why it does such a thing. i need a some explaination on why the form expands in a table when published and what is the best way on creating a form that is perfect in dimensions.
I can’t tell if you’re doing HTML forms here or Flash ones. You mentioned publishing the movie, in which case it’s Flash and belongs in teh Flash forum, not Dreamweaver.
If it’s HTML based forms though, can you post your code up so we can see?
Maybe your looking at the .swf movie alone and if that’s the case it stretches to the fill the whole browser window. If that’s the case just embed it in an html file.
it seems like there are people in the forum that like to cause problems instead of solving them. just in case you 2 do have a few cents to spare on ur comments, i am working in / DW.
O-BY-THE-WAY!!! excse me for not clearing what programs i am using. i’m sure i am in the DREAMWEAVER FORUM!!
Wow man, way to have an attitude when people are simply trying to get some more information to help you out. The people here aren’t required to help you. We simply try to help you because we can. Take it easy and try to be slightly less hostile if you don’t mind.
allright, let me try this again. i need help on forms in DREAMWEAVER. I am having problem with the discription above and i need to figure out why my forms are expanding in DREAMWEAVER. if any body can help, i would appriciate it!!!
change its height from % to pixels i think that may be your problem either that or go to modify page properties and change its width margin, height margin, left margin and top margn all to 0 if that doesnt work post your html file so we can view whats going on
Hmm, I’m not entirely clear on your problem. When you say your forms are ‘expanding downward’ I can’t really picture it. I think i might know the problem, but if you could post a screenshot of the result you are getting I can be sure.
I have found that stylesheets are the best way to format forms and their elements. Specifying character widths is a pain because IE and Netscape render it differently. Style sheets can specify exact pixel values for your forms, and even % values so they scale with the window/table etc.
Get that screenshot and I’ll see if I can help some more

In my “other life” I buy/sell/collect glassware. Many of the threads in this forum bear a remarkable resemblance to posts in several of the glassware forums I moderate, where people attempt to get an item identified with only a vague verbal description.
It should be standard practice to either post the code itself or a link to a web page with the code for nearly any question of this nature.
