I have a user that is allowed to only view our web pages through a portal. I have heard of them but have not seen one used or know much about them (a brief narrative on portals would not go unappreciated). Apparently, among the problems with them are that they are both smaller then the browser size and do not allow scrolling. In order to make web pages viewable, my predecessor scrunched up the web pages and with a normal browser they look lousy (they probably look lousy through a portal too but I guess portal users are used to that).
My question is, how does one handle such a situation? Is this an HTML solvable problem or is Javascript needed? Can a HTML tags or a javascript be written that will provide a scroll bar accessable on a page being viewed through a portal? Can portal viewing be queried and the page adjusted or an alternate page served? I understand portals are for security but I don't understand why they can't at least provide a full size window on the browser. Before anyone advises to say "tough" to the user, pretend the user is a high income customer. TIA.
