Position in a frame

Position in a frame

Here is what I am trying to do.

Create HTML files the night before with caster (Works).

Have dashboard get the files if they are there, otherwise run normal queries.

I created the dashboard to do normal queries on a button click event and it works. I then adjusted the event to check for the file and display it if it exists. It works.

Ok, the problem. Dashboard adds scroll bars and moves the displayed html down a few lines. I can turn off the scroll bars in javascript, but how do I move it down?

Also, why would dashboard even move text? The html files are exactly the same as the results of a query. I used fc (file compare on dos to check).

I'm having trouble picturing exactly what the problem is, but I do know that you can also control scroll bars within the Dashboard itself without having to include any Javascript in your HTML or reports. When you create the block, you can control the appearance of scroll bars as a property of the block. See if that helps with your problem.

Fernando,
Have you tried the SET PAGE = NOPAGE?
I know, dumb question. I believe I had the same problem a while back. If I remember correctly, we used negative positioning for the frame within html. I don't have an example handy.

clicking on button1 loads the html file CAR.HTM (I cut and paste the result of the fex into this file).

Clicking on button2 loads the fex.
