add % value programaticaly

Question

Hi all,

I have the following code which gives me a error. I want to add the width property programatically and in %:

firstcombo.width = 90%;

But that gives me the following error:

• 1084 syntax error expecting rightparen before colon

How is the correct syntax?

Greetings Markus

Answer 1

Try:

firstcombo.percentWidth = 90;

Answer 2

The width combobox property is a Number. you need to set it accordingly. Something like firstCombo.width = .9 * X where X is the value you want 90% of.

Answer 3

Hmmm... I would think it is:

firstcombo.width *= .9;

Answer 4

Thank you I tried percentWidth and it worked perfect!

Thanks! Markus
