This is just how it works. On Add and Edit pages there are edit controls like text box and text area. These controls have parameters like width and height and can be resized. |

I don't think this is the answer I'm looking for and urge you to test this yourself. When I use the copy page to button (to the View Page) it doesn't keep the layout, it goes all out of place and loses its allocated spaces - This is in PHP Runner I'm talking about, not when you see the project in the web browser. Yet when I position the fields manually (without using Copy page to) when I edit the page in freeform it works fine, apart from the box sizes not showing after I save and go back into the project sometimes. Somethings not right with the copy page to for the View Page within PHP Runner itself, and it doesn't retain the box sizes after you save it and go back into the project. I would have thought that as its the phprunner editor you will see the same for Add/Edit/View for all freeform pages, then strip out the controls for view when you build the project and display it in a web browser. As you can see in the screenshots above (Add/Edit layouts are not the same as View even though they were copied down from Add page) This is just how it works. On Add and Edit pages there are edit controls like text box and text area. These controls have parameters like width and height and can be resized. On View page there are no edit controls, just some text. There is nothing to resize. It will take as much space as the amount of text stored in this field. |

Sorry, you just don't get it. There is nothing to resize on the View page. You can only resize edit controls. What is on View page is just a text that is coming from the database. More text will take more space, less text will take less space etc. It will be different from record to record. |

Yes I know that. What I am asking is why does the View page look different when I press the copy page to button on the Add page, and copy the Add page to Edit and View pages. As shown in my images.

Yes! You are correct. I think he's referring to the editor page which has a Copy page to: button next to the revert and revert back in the top menu bar. |

If its meant to be like that, then fine, but looks a bit messy to me. I would have thought visually in the editor it should be the same, even if its slightly different on the web page due to data quantities. But when I manually edit the view page (not copy page button) it looks neat and tidy, but is a time consuming task to change every view page to how I want it to be seen. |
