Disappearing Images in Fields

[Chipp Walters]

Scott,

It's a feature! The 'surprise-check out this image' is the latest crave 
in creating a feeling of anticipation for your users!

I checked it out, and as you know, it's a function of the 
fixedLineHeight property. You could hack around it with another 
scrolling fld and the formattedheight property, but it seems like a lot 
of trouble.

In the past, I've just created the images the full width of the fld and 
had the text below. Looks fine, but doesn't solve *your* problem.


best of luck,

Chipp
