Resize Form & Hide Left Navigation Area of CRM Form

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!

Set CRM Form To Full Screen

Hi,

Quick but useful piece of JavaScript for you. Put this in the OnLoad event of any CRM form and it will maximise the window to fill your current screen size. Handy eh?!

window.moveTo(0,0);

window.resizeTo(screen.availWidth, screen.availHeight);

Enjoy!
