ive added a global appearance to distinguish between dev/qa/prod

its a simple header at the very top of the screen

ive expirimented with every layout possible but i still have this huge white space below the livelink 9.7.1 footer and copyright information. meaning, my users can keep scrolling for no reason.

any ideas how to eliminate this?

post your appearance file here I will put it on one of my servers and see what you are saying

Well, if I called the wrong number, why did you answer the phone?

appearance status: enabled
appearance layout: layout 3: top center, bottom center

header contains the html below. my header works great, but under the footer there's a good amount of white space available, making the scroll bar accessible. i've opened a case with OT in the meantime but if you have any ideas let me know. thanks!



<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

body {
background-color: #F5F5F5;

margin-top: 15px;
margin-right: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
}
</style>

not sure I understand.I have a container with 2 items.When I browse the page I using the vertical scroll bar I see white space below the copyright info.I add your appearance code it is still the same,so I am not either understanding what you are saying .What I am saying is I have whitespace regardless if the apearance is there or not there.

white space should not be there if no appearance is being used.

when appearance is used, it creates the white space. i just want to get rid of it. for example, browse to users/groups - i bet there is no white space under copyright info. that's exactly how it should be, whether appearance is used or not. hopefully OT support has an idea. last night they emailed me saying they're aware of this but want more information from me. i'm hoping they have a solution!

in my server I have whitespace regardless maybe Greg will know is that something HTML is doing based on computer display resolution
Here's a screencap on what I see without any appearance html

also we all use Bhupider Singh's way of showing our server name which is basically based on a new footercomponent.html.The change is minimal and it can read form each server's opentext.ini

Ha the longest living trick in the livelink world


If I install 10 servers I will change the footercomponent.html in one server and then copy it into the other 9 it is as simple as that.You just give distinguishable labels for each livelink server instance.
Appearances are objects that are evaluated for users permissions so it adds a little bt overhead to the general page so for these kind of things I generally prefer the weblingo tweak
