I have a calendar of events type application I am building as a proposal to redo a venerable application with flex.
I have the basic main page constructed and it work well with just one minor annoyance. The main display consists of an absolute application containing a single Panel. This panel is constrained to 25 pixels from the top, bottom, left and right edges of the application container. The panel is also configured as an absolute layout, containing an HBox container with navigation controls positioned at the top, a small grid of the days of the week (Monday, Tuesday, ect.) below the HBox. Then comes the meat of the display, a second grid containing all the days of the displayed month each showing a list of events. This grid is where I am having difficulty. If I give it an absolute height (300) it works the way I want in that a scroll bar is generated allowing the user the scroll through all the days and events inside the 300 pixel high box in the middle of the application. But then it is hard coded to 300 pixels high meaning that if the browser display is large enough a portion of the panel space is blank because the grid can not expand to fill it. But if I give the grid less absolute positioning, either percentages or position it's edges (top, bottom, ect) within the panel, the size is not enforced. The entire application is expanded to contain all the days and events and the entire application then scrolls. Thus losing the navigation controls off the top of the browser canvas when the user scrolls down. Is there some way to constrain the grid to a certain section of the panel so that it grows and shrinks in relationship to the panel but still not allow it to grow in relationship to the number and size of the rows and cells inside it? -------------- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA --------- | 1 | | --------- Binary Soduko | | | --------- "C code.
