Is there a way to ask the browser widget to compute its size based on its
contents?

I need to display a series of formatted text (simple html) entries within
a ScrolledComposite. I was using a series of FormText widgets before which
worked fine till I ran into the need for more robust formatting i.e. html.
I am trying to do the same with a browser widget but I get a series of
widgets with scroll bars. One option is to replace the ScrolledComposite
with a browser widget and generate html but I am trying to avoid that if
possible...

Hi Ash,

No, you have to compute and set the size yourself, based on the content you
set in. You can control the layout/wrapping/fonts/size of the HTML content
through CSS the way web designers do. You can force scrollbars to not show
in your HTML body tag with:
<body style='overflow:hidden;'>

If you want, you can post a screenshot of what you want to do and we can
think of ways to achieve that result.
