Size of interactive week block view calendar?
crying

Hi, I am a new user and a VERY amateur webmaster (our site is www.monroetown.com). Trying to replace an embedded hotmail calendar which no longer functions properly since Microsoft 'enhanced' hotmail. Love what I've seen so far with your product; however, the only thing I can find about shrinking an overall calendar is to use a STATIC calendar in a <table>. Really want the INTERACTIVE, block week view calendar, but need it to be much smaller. When I play with the height/width numbers, it just truncates columns and/or rows. How on earth do I just shrink the overall thing? Figure there must be a way but my peabrain cannot grasp it. Thanks for any suggestions.

Re: Size of interactive week block view calendar?
There are a number of different calendar styles we have available for publishing your info. It sounds like you're using "The fully interactive embedded calendar" which relies on an iframe. Yup - if you shrink the height or width, you're just going to truncate it.

I've looked at your site, and I would recommend the dynamic mini calendar. You might also choose to include the "Today and Happening Soon" calendar right underneath it to get roughly what you have now.

Generating the HTML for each of these views is simple. Just click Publish on the left menu, and select
" I would like an interactive mini-calendar as part of a web page"
then add that HTML to your site.

Next select,
" I would like to embed a static (non-interactive) calendar as part of a web page" for Step 1 and
"Today + Happening Soon" for Step 2 (The "Week List" View is another good option)

Paste that HTML on your site as well and you should be all set!

Re: Size of interactive week block view calendar?
OK, tried it, but obviously doing something wrong. I can get the full interactive month view to appear on my site's test page - copying & pasting in the HTML code, no problem. When I try to do the same thing with the recommended mini-calendar, nothing happens. I get a blank box. I am certainly not an HTML code pro, but I've tried over and over - and nothing! Suggestions for such an illiterate as me? Thank you Marc!
