[SOLVED] How to prevent HTML page from expanding

Hello all,

I created an HTML file last year and a user requested a few easy changes. However, when I update the HTML file to include 1 new parameter and hit the RUN button, the HTML page becomes extremely long. The form is only 900px in height, but the scroll button is super tiny and it seems you can endlessly scroll to the rest of the empty page.

I tried to scroll into the empty space to see if a button was added somewhere, but there isn't anything else in the empty space below the form.

How can I fix this so the scroll bar is limited to the height of the actual form box and prevent it from happening when changes are made in the future?

Thanks!

Hi A415

There is probably some control hidden somewhere or a control with a large position value. You can open a case in tech support so that we can look at the code.

If you used HTML Composer, try the rarely used Thumbnails tab. Right-click within the Thumbnails tab and increase the size of the thumbnail. Scroll to the bottom - you may see a control, or the remnants of a control - perhaps an empty container, or something you thought you deleted. HTML Composer has an annoying habit of sometimes putting an object at some crazy distance away from position 0,0.

Hello,

Thank you for your help! The suggestion by Francis worked!

Interestingly, when I scrolled down on the Design section of the HTML Composer, there was nothing there. But, when I went to the Thumbtails tab and scrolled all the way down with the tiny scroll bars, there was an extremely long schedule button (which even expanded the width so that scroll bar that moves L to R was also tiny)! I was able to delete it and now the thumbnail view shows an HTML page that's as long as the height of the form.

Thanks again!

For some reason I get this problem all the time when copy/paste an object. I want to keep the format of the object, but when I click and paste it goes ALL the way down in some random location for some reason.

Hi John C.

Francis is right you are better off not not copying controls. Francis is the HTML Guru...
