Nettamer, unlike most graphical browsers doesn't scroll input fields when
you want to type more text in than the size permits.
There is a rather cumbersom workaround. Here is what happens:
After nettamer downloads the HTML file, it parses the file and creates
another temp file with the HTML decoded. This file has the extension of
.t$$
An example of how the input fields are represented is:
Given Name: <a>__________
Family Name: <b>__________
Near the bottom of this file is the following:
--END OF FILE--
<FORM=2a47ef6f.@01>
<INPUT=01/01 >
<INPUT=01/02 >
Notice that the number of blank spaces before the trailing ">" is the
width that Nettamer uses. What I do is (while nettamer is still running
and on that webpage) to use a ascii editor to edit this file and change
the last two lines to:
<INPUT=01/01 >
<INPUT=01/02 >
To make nettamer redisplay this page, I select any link on that page
which goes to another page (for example the link to a help file), then
immediately use the left arrow key to go to the previous page. Nettamer
won't download the page again but reuses the parsed temp file (which I
have just edited). This time the input fields have magically expanded:
Given Name: <a>____________________________________
Family Name: <b>____________________________________
Of course I am running Desqview so I can run Nettamer in one DV session
and a ASCII editor in another so this works for me.
