Hi Peter,
thanks for the code review. Sure enough, it solves both problems… 
So I take it that assigning relative widths or heights is the preferred way of handling resizing of the browser window? I obviously didn’t catch that when I went over the examples…
It seems to me that the flexibility of jQWidgets opens more than one way to the solution of a task, but some ways end in frustration while others solve the task elegantly. I guess it’s all a matter of experience…
Cheers,
Tim
