When using Zoom Front End, I've set up my search feature so that when the user clicks on search it opens search.cgi. Is there a way to resize the window that opens? The window is smaller than I want and when the user conducts his search the results are not visible until he/she uses the scroll bar to scroll past the information/instructions that at the top the page being opened.

Thanks

John Morgan :D

At least in V1.3 build 1002 of the Zoom Front End (http://www.wrensoft.com/zoom/support/cgifrontend.html) the window is resizeable. I can't remember if this was the case for all older versions.

You could also maybe shorten your instrcutions so less scrolling is required (e.g. just include a link to instructions, rather than including them all in the search window).

To change the default window size would require a small code change. But we supply the source code so you could do this if you are a coder.
