Step 5 – Change Size

To sizes can either be in pixels or percentages. To use pixels simply type the number in the “Other”
field. For other percentages simply type the percentage in the other field and suffix it with “%”.
An understanding of how HTML frames work would be ideal. However, to summarise:
• In a two column/row layout the right frame or bottom frame respectively can not have a
specific size.
• In a tree pane layout the right and bottom most frame can not have a specific size.

If the version of Browser supports rendering composite screens without frames, then the ‘Use Frames’
checkbox will be enabled. Turning off this property will update the ‘NO.FRAMES’ attribute in the
composite screen definition. If ‘Use Frames’ is not set, compatible versions of Browser will render the
composite screen without using frames. For example, this feature should be UNCHECKED for
screens designed for Internet banking applications.
If the Browser version does not support the ‘noframes’ option, then this checkbox will be disabled.
