    Is there a way to resize the form to make it smaller both in width and height with out loosing any of the fields? I have a sign up form that is large in height and when I edit the output height code it looses soem fields from the bottom.

    Thanks

    Which method are you using to include the form in the site - that is with the iFrame, or the full PHP code snippet, or the simple link to the form?

    If it's the Iframe, you need to adjust the frame's height and width, or turn on the scroll bars for the iframe (which I personally don't like; I'd rather have the whole form visible).

    If you're using a GUI editor like Frontpage, then you need to click on the edge of the iframe (may take some practise to get it right, this will select the frame, then you right click and go to "iframe properties" and adjust the height and width.

    If this is not what you're after can you be more specific?

    Something else may be restricting/cutting off the bottom, e.g. your site's design or something - a DIV may be not as high as the frame is, so it cuts off some of the content, and doesn't auto-expand to accommodate it.

    Forgive the newbieness:
    I was using IWeb and inserting the standard code output in an iframe (as you stated, don't like this idea).

    Basically what I am trying to get at - resizing the form similar to the way one would resize a picture ( not necessarily drag it to resize) but shrinking it so to speak.

    Make sense???(I hope)

    Thanks for the reply AMurray

    I think I know; you want everything to shrink proportionally as you make the form smaller, the fields etc will decrease in size: I don't think you can do it in that way, only through the CSS can you make the elements smaller, because of course, these are all standard HTML elements that Machform is showing in its forms.

    I'm not against the iframe generally (I use that method in all the sites I use Machform on), just not the scroll bars within the iframe - rather have the whole form accommodated within the confines of the iframe without the need to scroll at all
