Our (7.6.2) installation uses MRE to generate some launch pages. After I publish a simple page, the default multi-SELECT box size is 3 (with over 100 values available), which is a major pain for our users.
The generated page is 99% javascript, which I can sort of navigate through but I see no reference to the creation of the SELECT box. It must be hiding in some other file in some unseen directory, I'm guessing.
All I want to do is put a size="10" into the SELECT.
Any clues out there?

that should do it. it always helps to have Microsoft Front Page around, or Expressions, for quick context checking.

Found the bottleneck.
The MRE-generated javascript calls an IBI js member - (ibi_html\javaassist\ibi\html\describe\APHTMLGen.js) which transforms the MRE javascript into HTML for display. That transforming code has a 'SIZE = 3' embedded in it.
I won't change this member, as it is part of the base install and would impact other MRE members. So, I'll make a copy, change the SIZE parameter and call that instead.

Microfish,
Indeed ibi_html\javaassist\ibi\html\describe\APHTMLGen.js is the place where you should/can change this. At every new installation/upgrade I change this size to 5 instead of the default 3. Also the font size can be changed in :
Aanpassen look autoprompt parameters
Drive:\ibi\WebFOCUS71\ibi_html\javaassist\ibi\html\describe\autoprompt.css
.selectLabel {
color: black;
background-color: lavender;
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 10px; --> the default is 14
border-top:solid 1px black;
}
.paramControl {
position: relative;
width: 100%;
font-size: 10px; --> the default is 14
}
You can also automaticly check the checkbox 'Run in a new window'. This way the report is returned in a new window by default. My users like this better.
Check the checkbox 'Run in a new window' by default:
drive:\ibi\WebFOCUS71\ibi_html\javaassist\ibi\html\describe\autoprompt.xsl
function onLoadDescribeForm( )
{
//add the following line
--> document.WFDescribeForm.reportTarget.checked=true; <--
document.WFDescribeForm.AmperStaticMulti.disabled=true;
document.WFDescribeForm.AmperDynamicMulti.disabled=true;
document.WFDescribeForm.AmperAcceptMulti.disabled=true;
with( document.WFDescribeForm )
Bear in mind that this is for WF 7.1.7. For higher version the technique stays the same only the jsp or css file can differ a little.
Hope this helps to get a better view of your autoprompt page.
