Resizing Frontpage components (Webbots)

[David Mebs]

Here is the dilemna..

I have a table, three columns wide; 157px, 577px, and
10px in size. I want to include a search box in the 157
column and have the results display on a new page, which
would in turn be in the 577 column. (The left column is
the menu system) Also, the table of Contents component
appears to be set to 600px in width, and I need to change
it to 577px. Is there any way to modify the components to
do what we want, or are we stuck with finding aftermarket
products to do what is already built into frontpage?

I don't believe either of these components has a fixed
size. You can make form field components whatever size you
want, and the Table Of Contents component stretches or
shrinks them to fit the available space.

If this doesn't solve your problem, please explain in more
detail or provide a URL.

Well.. you are right about the table of contents. I
spread it out by giving pages really long titles to see
if it would mess my table, and it does not.. it wraps so
the table stays intact.

I still need to put a search box under my menu system
though, that would display the results in another page.
