Re: [IUG] Length of pverify input boxes

[Vicki Lonell Hain <vicki_hain at post dot harvard dot edu>]

I tried using the javascript to shorten the pverify input boxes -- it 
didn't have any effect.  I tried putting it in different places (within 
the form in different places, outside the form in different places), but 
still no effect.

Andrew, has this worked for you?  And you're using the tokens, 
<!--{name}--> and <!--{barcode}--> ??   If yes and yes, where *exactly* 
did you put the javascript?

Thanks!  Vicki

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
if (!getElementsByName) {}
else {
var name = document.getElementsByName('name');
var code = document.getElementsByName('code');
name.size = "24";
code.size = "24";
}
</script>

Put this between script tags at the end of your pverify form. Change the "24" to whatever size you want them to be:

if (!getElementsByName) {}
else {
var name = document.getElementsByName('name');
var code = document.getElementsByName('code');
name.size = "24";
code.size = "24";
}

Hello all,

I noticed that the default system (token-ized) input boxes on the WAM 
login page (pverify2) are shorter than on the other login pages 
(pverify, pverify3, etc..)   I like the shorter length of these input 
boxes better, but so far I haven't been able to find a way to control 
the length.
Here are examples -- note the shorter input box length on the WAM page:

WAM (pverify2):  http://tinyurl.com/6n82tz
Plain old pverify:  http://catalog.chapelhillpubliclibrary.org/patroninfo

If I code these input boxes instead of using the tokens, the Name and 
Barcode values aren't carried over if you need to create a new PIN.  So 
apparently the tokens have to be used.

Does anybody know if I can control the length of "token-ized" pverify 
input boxes, in particular that long barcode input box we've got?  Any 
thoughts greatly appreciated!

Thanks!  Vicki
