Text fields Growing with forms

[Urbeinarinn]

I am going to try again in here.

I have designed a form with multiple text fields. But my issue is this:

When typing into the text form and it gets filled up, I do not want to see a scroll bar appear, I want the text field to grow and everything that is below it moves down.

The issue today is that I have been trying a lot of ....... but my TF just grow over those that are below, and when I have been putting the page in "flow" everything just goes apart.

But when making this page/form by starting to put the settings in Flow, I have a huge problem by lining them up side by side, below and etc... so I don't have time for that. I am almost giving up and going to make this in Word.... I have tried everything I know and from previous chat in here, I did not go far with that help.

Hi,

First off here is an example, which shows the various settings that you can have for a textfield:

You probably have a handle on these settings already.

The next step is to position the objects that do not grow in size inside positioned subforms first. Objects that grow in size need to be inside flowed subforms. Lastly the page also needs to be set to flowed.

Make sure you group your objects in positioned/flowed subforms before you change the page to flowed. This will minimse the disruption to the form.

Here is an example:

Lastly, this tries to demonstrate the difference between flowed and positioned subforms:

Hope that helps,

Hi there

Presuming you have set up a dynamic form to do this correctly, the thing that you may not be aware of is that when you type more than the box can hold initially it will add the scroll bar but will not expand.  Only once you have clicked elsewhere on your form will the box grow to accommodate the additional text.

Hoep this helps as I was stuck with this for a while.

Thanks
