Hi Paul,the former. It is NOT like in a newspaper where the content runs from left to right from one column into the next and finally into the leftmost column of the next page.Im my case the content of the 2 columns is completly separat from each other: The data in the left column is distincly left-...

Hi there,I am trying to produce a 2-column layout in my form.The problem is: These columns stretch over more than one page and I just cannot get the page breaks right.I have a flowed layout with two adjacent subforms which form my columns. In these column subforms I fill lots of data from XML.Proble...

Paul,while you were typing your reply I did some experiments and came to the same conlusion. Indeed, that's it! It works:xfa.layout.y(this.parent, "in") does the trick!Thanks a lot!!!Uli

I just stepped into the wrong event. In layoutReady the result is always "0"

Paul,that looked like a promising hint! Thank you.I triedxfa.host.messageBox ("y: " + xfa.layout.y(MYCHECKBOX, "in"));Strange thing is, that I keep getting "-1" as result.

Oh, apparently I failed to make my point clear.Consider this example:[  ] Checkbox1     [  ] Checkbox2     [   ] Checkbox3[  ] Checkbox4Whenever I click on one of those checkboxes I would like to change the height of all checkboxes in the same row (this.h = ...)[Why this is necessary is too complica...

Hi there,in a click-event I would like to change the height of all checkboxes that lie in the same horizontal row.As it is a flowed layout some checkboxes may be in the next row - those I do not want to change.My question is therefore: How can I find out the y-coordinate in a flowed layout?With that...

Hi John,thank you very much for that perfect solution.To make your code ready to use for everyone and hopefully even more understandable I added a few lines.The following is the code of the "class" in a scriptObject: Formular1.#variables[0].myDateScript - (JavaScript, client)function myDate(sDay, sM...

a very ugly makeshift solution is of course: Writing in the scriptObject "mydate"function createDate(sDay, sMonth, sYear) {    var oDateObject = new Object();    oDateObject.day = sDay;    oDateObject.month = sMonth;    oDateObject.year = sYear;    return oDateObject;    } // function createDate()fu...

Hi,a year ago there was a posting "creating javascript objects in LCD 7.0.1 " http://forums.adobe.com/message/1360679#1360679I tried this in Designer 8.2 and failed! Does anyone know why?I set up a scriptObject "mydate" which contains:function createDate(sDay, sMonth, sYear) {    xfa.host.messageBox...
