calendar position in html page
Can you put a calendar in a table in an html launch page to position it relative to the text description? Or is there some other way for the calendar to move accordingly based on the user's text size setting in their browser?

Are you referring to the calendar object from the HTML Layout Painter in Developers Studio?

The javascript that controls this object is set up only to apply it to the right of an input box.

Basically when loading the page, the javscript looks for input boxes with an ibiformat of date, and will then add the icon and the links within the icon.

It is a complex procedure and not one you would want to try and change.

So if it puts the calendar icon next the the input box, can you control where the input box is located? Or better yet, have the input box adjust based on browser text size like other input boxes?

If you're using IE7 then the input box, icon and pop-in calendar can be increased in size with the 'ctrl' & '+' keys, though the calendar position gets offset badly.

The text size option doesn't affect an input box or the icon with IE6 or IE7, only increasing the size of the actual text on the page.

The input box, like any other object the layout painter can be positioned exactly where you want it on a page.
