Wow ... Nick , you got so far ...

Full post below for those that could not read it. Rick has a valid point. The WSG guidelines say (amongst other things): Try to use plain text email rather than HTML email where possible. http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Now, can someone help Brendan out of his 4 day rut? Russ Hi all, I've come crawling back with some issues. I never seem to be much help to anyone else - I hope someone can help me here. I have a page that has a banner, a menu, a side (tree) menu, a flash image viewing app as the main content, a control pannel and a footer. My (unobtainable?) goal is to have the flash viewer take up all available height and width of the viewer window. The viewer is going to be used to view scanned/generated images of documents sent to the clients of our clients. The footer and tree menu are optional on some pages. I'm having issues with the layout in general - I seem to be so close in so many ways, and yet so freakin' far in others - it's so elusive! cue organ music I've faltered my brothers (and sisters) - I ran screaming back to my javascript skills - crying for a solution to my woes - help me be strong! I used some javascript to calculate the heights and widths and set some dimensions of the divs and flash. Before I faltered to javascript... Firefox tended to make the flash viewer stetch to 100% of the window, no matter what the actual size of it's container. In IE the width can seem fine, but then the viewer wants to be 100% of the browser window height, ignoring the height of it's container. I have my javascript stained version at https://demo.hpa.com.au/OLM/test/apps/ies/viewer_alpha1.htm This version is the closest to where I want to get to, however there are issues when you resize the browser, the float on the side tree menu and the width of the flash viewer makes the flash viewer slip below the tree. I don't want to use the javascript if I can help it. I need the flash viewer to be as large as possible (contractual agreement). I want to be xHTML transitional. Please get in touch, after 4 days of racking my head I just seem to be stuck in a rut. Thanks all. Brendan PS - Can't wait for the Jeff Veen workshop! ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **

Brendan,
cue organ music I've faltered my brothers (and sisters) - I ran
screaming back to my javascript skills - crying for a solution to my
woes - help me be strong! I used some javascript to calculate the
heights and widths and set some dimensions of the divs and flash.
Have you tried to set some dimensions to the container of the flash:
#viewer {
width: 100%;
height: 40%;
}
#viewer object {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
You could also position the div absolutely:
body {
height: 100%;
}
#viewer {
position: absolute;
left: 200px;
right: 0px;
top: 500px;
bottom: 40px;
}
#viewer object {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
Martin.

Re: [WSG] Flash 100% wide layout issues - resorting to javascript - eek!
My (unobtainable?) goal is to have the flash viewer take up all available height and width of the viewer window. [..] / https://demo.hpa.com.au/OLM/test/apps/ies/viewer_alpha1.htm/ Brendan My reply assumes I understand the problem(and I am not sure of that, or much else, for that matter). I see a 2col layout with a max width set around 1150 to 1200 with a fixed width left column; and the right column(viewer) set with a min-max width ( min-height). Use your favorite method to feed min-max to the evil one.
