Author Web App creates browses the size of a football pitch (Newbie Question)

C55EE H ABC Web App

Sorry Web App Newbie here. I've created my web app and everything
seems to
be working except my browse boxes appear to be absolutely massive (At a
rough guess it would be capable of displaying 200 records on a web
page).
Sadly the main window of my app (Where everything happens) has 3
browses on
it which means it takes about 15 seconds to load and you have to scroll
about 1/2 a mile down the screen to get at the buttons.

Anyone got any ideas?

Cheers

Ian,

This answer is if you are using thw Web App Extention and NOT the
Internet App Ext.

I would not suggest having more than one browse box per procedure.
Things get dicey (and slow) doing so. I ended up only using 1 browse
box per procedure, and "walked" the end user through in a kind of
Wizard way.

Each browse box that you want a different size from the default
(Table.htm) must be edited in an HTML editor (I used Frontpage) and
saved to the Skeleton folder, NOT the Default folder. You may also have
to play around with the Group Skeleton to get the browse boxes to look
right.

You can see how I ended up doing it by going to
http://www.chemungcounty.com/tax.html. See how I "drill down" when they
click the Street/Address button.

Hope this help.

Tom
