Calendar Dimensions
I think I already know the answer to this, but here goes.

Is there any way to have the calendar change size according to content (number of events)?

Because there are a lot of events posted to mine both by me and others, sometimes the lower portion including buttons disappears and I have to manually adjust the height specification in the code either higher or lower from time to time to accommodate the volume of events.

Just wondering ...

Re: Calendar Dimensions
HTML is kind of funky this way.
Depending on the calendar style you are using, you may be able to specify the height as a percentage (say 100%) as a cell in a table, and put other content below it in a cell, also of height 100%. Many browsers will reconcile this impossible "200% total height" value and make each cell just big enough for the actual contents.

Re: Calendar Dimensions
This is a big problem...I tried the 100% method for height and width and it made the monthly embedded calendar smaller...which styles does the % work with ?

Re: Calendar Dimensions
Generally, I don't like %'s b/c different browsers can interpret it differently and you wind up with strange page layouts.

I prefer the specific pixel heights/widths (eg: width=500 height=500), but then you need to make sure you've allocated enough size.

One fall-back is to specify a standard size, yet also allow scrollbars to appear in the [worst] case scenario where you didn't allocate enough room. For example:

<IFRAME src="http://www.localendar.com/public/sample" height=600 width=700 marginheight=0 marginwidth=0 scrolling=yes frameborder=0 border=0></IFRAME>

Re: Calendar Dimensions
Where do I go to see about adjusting this? I can't seem to find it. I am having trouble with the bottom being cut off also due to the large number of events on certain days.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.
