Hi all:
I've uncovered weird view field behavior that I wanted to throw out to everyone to find out if anyone else has encountered the same frustration. First, as I'm sure we all know, view fields behave a bit differently in the midtier than they do in the client. In the midtier, if a view field contains a URL, it paints itself with the border around it. On the other hand, if it contains text or an HTML snippet it does not paint the border around itself. Further, the view field is transparent. Worse, the vertical scrollbar is missing. Thus if you have a view field that's say, 400 points high, but your HTML snippet contains text that requires 500 points, the text is not cut off and there is no vertical scrollbar! Instead, the midtier just takes the liberty of extending the view field an additional 100 points on your form...very possibly laying text over your nicely positioned "OK" or "Cancel" buttons that you placed under the area where the HTML text is supposed to stop. Weird. Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions?
