Andrew:
I looked at your solution & now I have code like this:
// the following 2 methods are so that
// child apps load at their regular size (not scaled) and fill
the
loader window
function getPreferredHeight()
{
return parentDocument.layoutHeight;
}
function getPreferredWidth()
{
return parentDocument.layoutWidth;
}
This works 'more or less' i.e. the components inside the loader show
up without getting clipped. However, if I bring up the app inside of a
small browser window & then maximize the browser window the components
inside the loader somehow get clipped..I think that they show only 800
pixels by width..any idea, why this is happenning ?
