Hi,
As much as I like the look and feel of CRM when you are developing a true xRM solution for a client, as we all know, less can be more.
With this in mind, whilst developing a solution for a client recently, I wanted to hide the entire left-hand navigation menu to give my form a simpler feel to it. So when setting it up I used 2 handy little pieces of JavaScript.
The first resized the window, OnLoad, to the size I wanted for my form:
window.resizeTo(700,520);
This gave me the following OnLoad:
As you can see though, most of the screen is taken up with the Left Navigation are, which for this form I didn't need. So, i hid it using the following code:
document.all.crmNavBar.parentElement.style.display = "none";
document.all.tdAreas.colSpan = 2;
Which game me the following results….
As I said, nice simple JavaScript but I think it makes a huge difference to the appearance of the form and therefore (hopefully) how well the user interacts with it.
Enjoy!
Joel
