B4J Question [ABMaterial] Framework - How can I make use of the full client area?

[Ed Brown]

Hello Everyone,

First, I'm not a web developer but do know enough to get myself into trouble

Second, I'm using the ABMaterial Framework and I'm trying to work out how to remove the left/right padding/margin as well as make something like a Google Map fill the entire available space (what I call the 'client area' - comes from my old Winforms programming days).

Looking at the developer tools in FF I can clearly see that there's been padding added to the sides and also to paragraphs. This is fine for the most part but it's not what I need it to do right now.

I've attached an image of what I'm trying to remove. Don't laugh, I've never been able to colour within the lines!

Any helpful ideas would be much appreciated.

Try setting the 'centerInRow' param in the page.AddRow() method to false. What this actually does is creating the frame (in the browser about 25%, on a mobile less).
This is part of MaterializeCSS so the 'body' of your webapp is centered with some space around it.

Thank you @alwaysbusy

That's worked.

Is there some other magic switch for being able to have a map or whatever use the full height of the page? (ie. what's left of the 'client area'?)
