Size of Tag Editor

[Andreas Frey]

Hello,

I develop an extension (for webEdition) for dreamweaver at the moment. This
extension contains also a tag library.

Some of these tags have many attributes. Now the Window of the Tag Editor is
too small to show all attributes.

A grouping of the attributes is not possible.

Is there a possibility to set a text-overflow attribute of a div?
Is there a possibility to set the Dimensions of the window? I already checked
windowDimensions, but its not called when i open the Tag Editor.

This problems occures in DW MX 2004, 8 and CS3

I hope anybody can help me with this problem.

Is there no solution for this problem?

I don't think there's an automatic way to do this. You can set the height of
the div using CSS, (<div style="height:400px">) but there is a max height of
the dialog. I assume you're hitting this limit if you're asking about
scrolling. I couldn't think of a way to get the dialog to have native OS scroll
bars.

However, I think you can set up your own type of scrolling with a bit of work
and JavaScript. The basic idea is to add your own buttons for scrolling and in
the onclick event for the button use JavaScript to set display = 'none' or
clear the display property of a node, depending on if you want to show or hide
it. You'll have to work on how you layout your controls since you can set
display to none on tr tags, which is how most of the tag dialogs are laid out.

Hope that helps,
