IWP scroll bars : my solution

[GerryGerry]

Hello,

Yesterday, I posted a question about getting rid of scroll bars. This was posted in the layout forum (I thought it could be layout-related).

I found a solution.

It is a bit complicated, but here it is:

A lot of the JavaScript code and HTML tags are created dynamically by the CGI code (cgi.dll) and so they are not modifiable. I looked into the cgi.dll and made some changes (using HexEdit) and I discovered that the file size must remain the same for FileMaker Pro to recognize cgi.dll as legit...

So, starting at character 267587, I changed exactly 16 characters:

from [color:"blue"]marginheight="0" to [color:"blue"]scrolling = "no"

The frame margins are set by default so it's okay for me to delete the marginheight (I don't mind the default margin).

Now, when I publish my solution without the Status Area, I have no scroll bars whatsoever.

This might be very easy to change in Developer or Server, but I only have the standard Pro version.

Question: is it illegal to modify a Dynamic Link Library to customize my solution? I might try to "hack" a little more and add other features (like a close button for my full-screen mode)
