Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting

Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.

When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.

The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.

When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.

A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.

If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.

When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.

Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.

    Disable scrolling on a list control...

    Hey guys,

    I got a frustrating one here. We've been building a website in Alpha and are just about to launch. We've probably not structured it in quite the right way as we've not used panels or any mobile optimised controls anywhere - so although I'm open to suggestion in the future, I need a quick fix using what we have for now so I can get the website up.

    Now to the problem:

    I have a list control displaying a our products on a page. There's only 2 items for the moment so the height of this list is negligible (i.e. there's no need to scroll on either a desktop or mobile device). After getting it looking how I want on a desktop, I went to take a look on my iPhone 5. As I scrolled down over the list, my ability to scroll stopped dead as alpha assumed that I wanted to scroll. In reality I didn't as I knew thre was no need to scroll the list (as there's only 2 items to see), I just wanted to reach the bottom of the page.

    So, from a user's perspective it feels like the website has frozen and you don't naturally think that the problem is to do with scrolling.

    Any idea how I can fix it so that as I swipe/gesture downwards over the list it will ignore the fact that a list is there and continue to send me towards the bottom of the a5w page?

    Any quick suggestions would be greatly appreciate (I launch in 3 hours!).

    Cheers!

    To follow up on yesterday's post, I've worked out that the header of the list behaves as I would like - it's only the body which disables page scrolling and directs your gesture to scrolling the list (I guess most of you would have known this already).

      Can you post a screen shot or two so we can get a better idea of what it is you are doing? Are you saying there are more controls than can be displayed on your mobile device, yet you cannot scroll to the bottom of the panelcard?

          Hopefully that clarifies it. I appreciate your help Dave. It's just when trying to scroll down on a pesky mobile. It's been frustrating me for days.

            I was actually trying to get an idea of how your mobile UX was rendering. Do you mind uploading your mobile UX? That would probably be the quickest way for someone to help with this case.
