Set height for elements in a page

The height attribute allows you to specify the height for certain page elements to suit different viewer display choices. This attribute is specified in the <pr> tag. You can set the height as  auto , which has the browser calculate a suitable height or specify a  custom  height in pixels. Once the height of an element is set, it will remain fixed no matter the length of its content. In the case of embedded forms and reports, you can scroll through their content. 

Possible Values for height attribute

  • auto
  • fill
  • A numeric value in pixels
