Browse waiting gif position

[Alberto]

Hi,
Any way to change the waiting gif position at least to the left corner of a browse?
Thanks

sure - it's a style. It's called busydiv I think - but check that.
Whatever it is, just put it in your own style file, and it'll override the built-in one.
Cheers

Bruce,
I`m trying to locate the busy gif in any of the three positions indicated in the attached image (as red circles).
The image if from a Memory Form with filter fields and a Browse.
May you help me please?
Thanks
Alberto

Hi Alberto,

this falls into the realm of css positioning - there's a lot of stuff on this via google, and it's a complex subject.
But you should be able to play around with the following; (I haven't tried this recently).
The style for the graphic is bdiv;

.bdiv {
 position: absolute;
 background-color: transparent;
 top: 1em;
 left: 1em%;
 width: 32px;
 height: 32px;
 visibility: hidden;
}

by adjusting the top, and left parameters, you can move the graphic around.
The problem is that the position is "common" to all pages, so you have to find a place that is comfortable,
regardless of the page underneath.

It may be possible to make it page-dependent, which would give you more control, but also, of course, add to the work-load.

Cheers

Bruce,
May be I have another problem.
I could move the busy gif near the From Header, ok, but...
Problem 1 : if I try to set it near a drop (see attached image in my other post), it keeps hidden behind the form tab.
Problem 2 : the gif appears and disapears almost inmediatly while the browse is still not refreshed, it seams that the gif appears while the server generates the browse, then disappears and then the browse is drawn, I dont know why its happening.
Problem 3 : the gif does not appears if the form is reseting the browse through a drop field filter.
May be I dont understand how it works, but I need some kind of indicator while the browse is reseting because in some situations the user feels the page is hung.
Thanks
Alberto

Hi Alberto,

I think you're mixing two issues together here.
a) cases where it doesn't work because you've moved it, and
b) cases where it doesn't work when you leave it where I put it.

You need to separate these two out becuase they're very different answers.

cheers
