This is most likely not the fault of the calendar, but more a mistake on my part when it came to integrating it into my webpage. But hopefully someone more experienced than I has a keen eye that can catch the problem and advise me on how to fix it.

The problem is this. I have insterted part of my regular webpage html around the calendar script in the php file in order to integrate it with my website. when I go th the php file online, the calendar initially loads where it should but before the page is done loading it flys far over to the right requiring a horizontal scroll. and leaving all this blank space to the left.... I havent customized the calendar yet because first steps first... I would like to fix this problem.

The link to the php file is
http://www.thepic.ca/calendar/PicShows.php

any ideas?

I've looked at it some and I think I've pinpointed where the problem is. It seems that this is caused by PicadillyGUI_03.gif and PicadillyGUI_10.gif. They are both 769px wide and I guess their cells don't span enough columns, so they kick the rest to the right.

I've managed to play around with your site, hiding images, background images, displaying cell borders, getting picture sizes, etc... that's what pointed me to those two gifs. I was able to do that by using Firefox's Web Developer Toolbar (http://chrispederick.com/work/webdeveloper/). If you use Firefox, I highly recommend it. It's been invaluable in helping me find misc little errors like that, especially with CSS issues.

Very cool... thanks for the tip... I dont have that problem with content in any of my other pages... I downloaded the toolbar you suggested as I do use firefox.. very cool I like it... I played around with it and it looked like the content was starting inside of the expander protion as opposed to where it should have... I re-created the page and now it displays correctly... thanks for your eye and your suggestion.
