Custom Content Type For SharePoint List - Form showing extra space at the bottom

Question

Hey Everyone,

My question is simple, I have created a custom web page and made it a content type of a SharePoint list. In my designer it looks nice and pretty, but when I view it in the dialog in SharePoint, there is a 100px space at the bottom of my form.

I have used the IE developer tools to try and figure out why, but I have not found anything. The div for my form ends at the proper height, but alot of Microsoft junk is forcing the window to grow bigger.

Any help?

Answer 1

No one has any clue why this is happening?

After looking at the page with developer tools, the ms-dlgFrame has a height of 584px, while the div in my form is only 475px.

I have tried height:auto, height:475px, not putting a height at all, but for some reason this page is always bigger than it should be.

Does anyone know a javascript call that I can use to set the width and height of the current window??

Answer 3

To anyone that cares,

All I had to do to get rid of this space is add a width attribute to my containing div. Yup. Added a WIDTH attribute and the height was fixed.

I won't go into all of the nasty details, but just adding a width attribute solved my problem.

Thanks Paul!

I spent a very long time frustrated why my dialog box had all this extra white space at the bottom.  After adding a fixed width, the additional white space is gone!

So glad I came across this page.

Wow! I'm surprised someone else actually had this issue. Happy to help!
