I'm also pretty sure that minimizing the window posts resize, as does any resizing. So you should probably test for a minimal size before resetting anchor (you can also trap the user from minmizing or resizing the window below a minimum height this way). Setting anchor isn't bad; I was trying to figure out a way to actually resize and change the number of rows displayed in a Grid Form SuperTable based on window resize, but decided it was a can of worms best left unopened (just don't mention it to your users, or it will become a required feature). //////////////// ======================================================= ////////// // Dennis J.
