Howdy,
In order for our website to maintain a "standard page" look (Where there is no need to click a cursor to move the move the page along) we find that if tables and any attachment types are set at 70% or less this works.
However - with the Search Results keyword it is set to 100% and when a search is performed it displays the results out of the page so to speak.
Is there a way of changing the keyword size to 70%? I tried it with the HTML tag turned on but it didn't keep the setting.
Thanks,
MM.
Search results are completely controlled by the bodycopies of your search page. If your search results are appearing in a table, then you need to take a look at the "Results Page Layout" bodycopy, as this is where the table would be defined.
This problem still happens.
For some search results - they contain really long urls. However instead off cutting the url off at the end of a page and continuing at the next line, it stays all on the one page and causes the "bar" to appear where you have to move it to see the complete page.
I have tried putting the "asseet_url" into a table and setting the table size to 70% for example but this does not fix the problem.
Do you have any suggestions for me?
The first step is to reduce the size of your URLs. However, browsers will not wrap URLs that are displayed (as there is no space in them to mark a wrap point). The search page has the %asset_name_linked% keyword, which will wrap the Asset Name with <a> tags that point to the asset itself. The name of the asset is usually much shorter, and shouldn't result in scrollbars appearing.
Hmmm - no worries Avi, thanks for that.
So just to clarify - this is something that just is? And the only real workaround is for us to reduce our url paths?
I'm not complaining, just need to be clear when I pass this info on.
You can shorten your urls by manually changing the web path for an asset on its "Web Paths" screen (you'll need to do each asset's parents also). Other than that, there's nothing that can be done within Matrix as it's a limitation of HTML causing the page to expand so far.
If you don't mind having the URL truncated, you could use some CSS to hide anything that overflows the bounds of a given box; check out the overflow: hidden attribute (http://www.blooberry.com/indexdot/css/properties/position/overflow.htm)
