Mini calendar problem
I hope someone can advise me.
I use the mini calendar on a school website (http://www.westergate.w-sussex.sch.uk) and a week ago the size of the 'Sun Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat' increased distorting my 20px X 20px sized calendar. Has something changed at localendar's end for this to happen or is there something I have done or need to change within dreamweaver. Help!
Many thanks

Re: Mini calendar problem
Hmm.. Looking at the CSS you've pasted, I see this section:


.localendar-mini td, th {
  width: 20px;
  height: 20px;
  text-align: center;
  vertical-align: middle;
  font-family: arial;
  font-size: 12px;
}

I think if you change the font-size to something less than 12px you should probably see the Day Name sizes reduced.

Re: Mini calendar problem
Thanks Marc
I have upgraded my browser to IE9 and removed anything in the cash without any improvement to this problem. Changing the font size effects headings and dates but not the day names. There does not seem to be a separate font size option for this. Hope you can help.

Re: Mini calendar problem
I see on your page you have this:

<style type="text/css">
<!--
body,td,th {
	font-family: Trebuchet MS, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	color: #000;
	font-size: 12px;
	text-align: left;
}
body {
	font-size: 14px;
}
-->
</style>

Which is going to globally style any tables on your page (including the mini cal). I would temporarily remove it to see if the problem is corrected. If that fixes it, you can put it back, but you should change it target specific elements you are interested in instead of changing it across the board.

Re: Mini calendar problem
Hi Marc
Thanks for your suggestion. I have tried this but although it impacted on other tables and text it did not change the font size of the mini_cal. I hope you might be able to suggest something else for me to try.
Thanks
Colin

Re: Mini calendar problem
How are we looking now?

There was a fixed font-size in there which was causing the problem. We've removed it, so the mini-cal should be better-behaved. Thanks for helping us track this down!
