[Express] setting Browser size in FWExpAS

I’d like to be able to set the browser dimensions as a percentage of the viewers window instead of a stated pixel value.
So far, I’m not having much success with it. I watched the videos and no mention of it was made . . . that I could see.
Possible, or perhaps not so much? or just not in Express?
Head scratcher grins
Thanks for your time,
Mark

It’s certainly possible to horse around with the visitor’s browser
window, but it’s very definitely not recommended. It’s an incredibly
hostile act, and I personally never visit a site a second time when
they do that.

Now if you are talking about making your page dimensions a percentage
of the browser size, that’s a different thing entirely. I’m not sure
how you do that in Express, but in Pro, you just enter percentages for
dimensions of your page elements. Highlight the entire number in the
Inspector’s width box, type in 85% (all together, no spaces) and see
what happens. In Pro, that sets the box to be 85% of the page width.
On a non-aligned page, that equals 85% of the entire window.

“Invalid value; substituting previous value” is what happens
-sigh-
I was looking for another way- I’ve tried that before and I just tried it again (to be sure it didn’t work)

I guess that’s what I get for buying the cheap seats.

Thank you for trying

Hi Mark,

You will first need to make sure your page alignment is set to None. You can do this in the Page Inspector palette. Any other alignment value will give your page a defined width, meaning it can’t ever change size as the browser grows and shrinks. Now select your HTML item and go to the third pane of the Inspector palette (Item Output Settings). Here you can set your item as “Width Can Grow” which will make it grow with the browser window.

I hope this helps,

Joe
