Thanks for your help Mike – I’m no good at Javascript either ;) but thankfully there is plenty of stuff out there on the web written by people that are. I’ll give it a go and see if I can make it work.

Regards,

    For the second question, if your htmltext contains a javascript function
    that returns document.body.scrollHeight you should be able to get the
    height that way.    I'm not any good at javascript, but how it would
    probably work would be to have something like this..
    
    window.onload = function(e){
         livecode.myHeight('lcHeight",document.body.scrollHeight)
     }
    
    Then have an lcHeight handler defined in your stack to receive the message.
    
    command lcHeight pHeight
       -- do something with pHeight
    end lcheight
    
    Then of course you have to declare the handler..
    
    set the javascripthandlers to "lcHeight"
    
    I haven't actually done this, but think the idea is close enough to get you
    there.
