Hi,
What you describe sounds like "invisible" instead of "hidden". Invisible objects still occupy space--hidden objects don't any occupy space. Be sure to use "hidden" to get the results you want. In addition,
What I believe what you need is to use a Flowed container (with hight set to expand) and a script that will change the presence of the different subforms to "visible" or "hidden". These subforms will get out of the way when they are "hidden". As Ida Eve has it shown above.
And, if there is a text field in one of those subforms, it can expand--you will want it's parent subform to be "Flowed" as well. Here's a representation of the layout::
<MainSubform> //Flowed
<Subform1>
<someStuff></someStuff>
</Subform1>
<Subform2>
<someStuff></someStuff>
</Subform2>
<Subform3> //also Flowed
<expandableTextField></expandableTextField>
</Subform3>
</MainSubform>
So, Subform1, Subform2, Subform3, will reveal themselves in the same spot (individually) depending on the dropdoen box.
Subform3 also should also be set to Flowable because the textField set to expand.and you want the subform parent to expand with it.
