Aloha from Hawaii.

I've got Ver. 5.0 Build 6 (registered) of Web Calendar. I can export and publish to the web no problem using the internal tools.

When viewing the calendar online, it's on the left side of the window, not centered. Yet in preview mode using the program, the calendar is centered. Could someone help with a centering tip <grin>. I can edit the code using MS Expression.

I'm still reading to learn how to nest it inside another html page that I would rather use.

Thanks for any help . . . it's been quite a while since needing to use the forum. Glad you're here. I'm an old back yard html'er.

You can try this.

Place the calendar code between the div tags.

<div align="center"> Calendar Code goes here </div>

Jim, I have found that by using that method, the calendar itself gets centered, but the events are left behind, left oriented.

I had the same problem centering my calendar using this.
<div align="center">
<!-- This is where the calendar HTML will be inserted -->
<div id="cc_webcalendar">
<p>Error, content did not load.</p>
</div>
<!-- this loads the calendar --><script type="text/javascript">
var maxdate=new Date("12/01/2011");
var mindate=new Date("01/01/2011");
loadTodaysCalendar(mindate,maxdate,"calendar");
</script></div>


It looked ok on the web page but when I clicked an event the page took on the view of the attached IMG. Does any body else get the same view in IE when they click an event?
I lost the close button on the event detail pop up.Fire Fox didn't seem to care about the code but IE8 was the issue. I ended up using an Iframe window to make IE8 show the close button.
<div align="center"><iframe width="500px" height="488px" src="calendar.html" frameborder="0" class="center" style="background-color: #339966"></iframe></div>

<!-- This is where the calendar HTML will be inserted -->

<!-- this loads the calendar --><script type="text/javascript">
var maxdate=new Date("12/01/2011");
var mindate=new Date("01/01/2011");
loadTodaysCalendar(mindate,maxdate,"calendar");
</script>


I set the frame to be a little wider then the calendar which isn't a problem for fire fox because it supports back ground colors for Iframes. IE8 doesn't so there's a white band down the right side. I'm going to try to place an img the same color as the back ground over this area.

The issue with IE is because you do not have a valid DOCTYPE.

You now have 2 DOCTYPES on your page.

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>

and

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">



You need to remove the first one.

Eric, are you using the HTML Editor 2008? With a html5 doctype you need the latest build, I think. If you are a registered user of that programme, you can download all updates for free.
