Scrolling issues

I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on how to get a scroll bar to automatically appear when viewing results of a query. I have a sample BSV that I can provide for reference. I have a query basically set up to show all objects. These objects consist of about 20 attributes. In order to properly view each object I have to make the individual fields wide enough to read the info. This causes the query results to go off the web browser page. Right now the only way to view the entire object is to make the size of the browser bigger. Is there anyway to put a scroll bar in there instead? Any info would me much appreciated.

You can specify the width of your query explicitly - make sure that the width is bigger than the browser screen. In this case I think you should get a scroll bar.

Also, consider marking certain attributes as "expanded" to save valuable space.

I specified the width for the query to be 1600, which is way bigger than my screen. I still don't see a scroll bar. I'm not really sure what's going on. I also tried making a few attributes "expanded" but the attribute headers seem to get misaligned. It seems like the more attributes that you make "expanded" the more misaligned the attribute headers are.

This sounds like something I had a while back. Here's my post with some pictures. Not sure if this is the same probelm:

I found that the list box did not find its default width when placed inside of a separator with no value in the width field for the list attribute. However, if you add an HTML item first, then the list will properly determine its width relative to the separator control that it resides within.

You can always just set the width but that's no fun. Try my trick above and see if that helps.

Figured it out. I had the Query being displayed in the "Top" part of the visual perspective. As soon as I put it in the "Main" section the scroll bar magically appeared.
