Interact.jl widget dimensions

How would one specify the width and height of an interact button, dropdown menu, etc.? I didn’t see anything about this in the Interact docs.
Thanks,

I’ve been struggling to figure this out as well. The best I have figured out is that the Interact widgets are WebIO.jl nodes and so accept a style command like they do. See here for some documentation.

An example that seems to work for me is

button("Stop",style=Dict(
        :color => "white",
        :backgroundColor => "red",
        :width => "200px",
        :height => "100px",
        :fontSize => "3em"
   ))

which creates a big red STOP button.

Thanks @Jordan_Cluts , that is useful.
How would one go about querying the size of a button though? If I use your example and do,

b = button("Stop",style=Dict(
        :color => "white",
        :backgroundColor => "red",
        :width => "200px",
        :height => "100px",
        :fontSize => "3em"
   ))

I would have thought that something along the lines of get(b[:style],"height") might work, but there is no field style.

Unfortunately I don’t know, I’m trying to figure this all out as well. It seems to all boil down to WebIO.jl whose documentation leaves something to be desired.
