Chipp, You know what? I already have part of the geometry manager somewhat working. You can see that rectangle graphics, it has a geometry setting for absolute position on the right side, I use that as a hint that the given object should have width: 100% instead of its actual width... it is all about hints....
In the movie the graphic fills 100% of the container. The webpage is set to 1000px wide, so the content is centered with a div. The hard part of geometry is the whole "stay 20 pixels from this control" thing... One thing at a time! I am glad you liked it. :-) On Tue, Jun 21, 2011 at 3:19 AM, Chipp Walters <ch...@chipp.com> wrote: > Andre, > > Very nice!
