I have tried 2 things to try to provide a more "web page" like app:
1 - using QxInline, and overriding the body scroll style stuff with <body style="overflow:auto;width:;height:;"> This almost worked, but menus and comboboxes in inline components that may move as a page is scrolled are problematic.. the drop down part on both will occur at the original location of the element, not the current location 2 - just changing the style, without using QxInline This seems to have some problems.. it appears that all qooxdoo elements are absolutely positioned, even without specific positioning set? is there any way to make them relatively position? The support to this thougth is if I just do this.getClientWindow().getClientDocument().add(component) without seting position on the component, they all just stack up. 3 - I had the idea to follow what Sebastian said, thinking of apps like "outlook" and thought that we could put our over-large parts into scroll panes, as outlook and other applications do (with worst case putting our entire "page" into a scroll view within the "body" without overriding the body styles) but I find no component within qooxdoo that would allow embedding a scrolling pane that contains other components... Any thoughts? is it just not possible to do? Thanks Russell On 1/6/06, Sebastian Werner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > J.
