Hi All

I have a couple of niggling lay out issues that I can't seem to
resolve and was hoping that someone could help me with them.

I have a popup with an HBox in. on the left I have VBOx (lets call it
the controls Vbox) and on the right a text area. Both have height="100%".

With in the controls Vbox I have several text boxes, buttons ect and I
have another VBox (lets call it dynamic text box). This also has heing
set to 100%.

This dynamic box gets controls dynamically added to it - no way of
knowing how many. These controls always make the controls VBox taller
than the popup and the popup then produces scrollbars so that I can't
see the buttons at the bottom of the controls VBox or the bottom of
the text area.
What I want to happen is for scroll bars to appear on the dynamic text
box. I can only get this to happen if I set the height to for example
100 but then it does not stretch to make use of the whole height of
the controls VBox.

How do I get round this?

The other problem is a bit easier to explain. I have a toggle button
bar across the top of my app with width="100%". With all the buttons
in there the width is probably about 1500 pixels. On my 1200 * 1600
screen this works fine - it fills the whole width. If I then restore
my browser and re-size the window for example 800 pixels the bar
re-sizes and button labels are cut off with ... at the end and
tooltips. All this is as expected.
If a user on a 800*600 screen opens this app though the button bar is
still around 1500 pixels and stretches the whole app well beyond the
bounds of the screen. This seems like a bug to me

Any suggestions?

Many Thanks
