any suggestions on how to redisplay the form once you hit submit, versus getting that “create your own form” message? I want the form to be displayed for the next entry… any help?

If you just want to get rid of the grey on the left and bottom without causing scroll bars try a width of 740 and a height of 530.

As far as I know you are not able to change the size of the images in a form theme, which is what is currently determining the size of the page being displayed in the iframe. An iframe only creates the window from which you view the source content. Changing the values won’t affect the size of the source content and will result in scroll bars if the content extends beyond the frame.

However, you can disable scroll bars by including scrolling=”no” in the tag.

To clarify that..the size of the frame can be reduced by altering the height frame parameters but the image stays as is..hence the appearance of the slider bars. Most irritating. Thanks for your continued assistance. Geoff

Entering any smaller parameters makes slider bars appear top and bottom !

Changing the width and height values in the iframe should resize it properly. Potential issues may arise when the width value is larger than the content area as determined by the site’s CSS, which would result in extending over other areas of the site or dropping sidebar objects.

What were the values that you were trying to change the height and width to and what was the result?

Many thanks for that. I tried changing the height and width parameters in the URL link but it gives very odd results. What am I doing wrong? Many thanks.

PS: If you look at my website homepage and look at the source code you’ll see where I’ve placed it. I’ve reset the parameters to their original settings.

The dynamic graphic in the post isn’t an iframe, it’s a png file, but both iframes and the png can be resized using height=”x” width=”x” before closing the tag.

Many thanks for your extremely helpful article.

Is it posible to change the size of the embedded iframe? Many thanks.
