Thread Are forms resizeable?

I just played with the online demo, and noticed none of the forms were resizeable. Is this the way the demo was designed or is this  a restriction of EWB?

TIA

AFAIK the EWB forms don't have native resizing yet (grab border with mouse and resize) but they can be resized in code for example so it's doable just not automatic at this time. You can respond to browser resize events still and such.

Then again if you plan to target non-desktop browsers its likely a better idea not to have this capability in your app anyways.

Ok, using code will help.

You mean for iPads and iPhones? Then I agree.

But for a desktop browser, people always like to organize windows so they see as much of the grid that they feel is necessary. I can get around this (for now) by writing code to incrementally change the dimension of the grid.

Thanks. Smile

FWIW, I tended toward making the form fit the browser window, and actually hiding
the form border so it was more "web like". But other purposes like dialogs, I did
not do that.
