I have a calendar that is a table. I have the width set via css in the table's ID. I have 3 spans in each 'day' that I am changing dynamicly via outerHTML. The 3 spans are set to width:100%. Sometimes when I write to the spans it pushes my cells. if they are 100% then they shoulden't right?
I appologize for this incoherant post, I have worked too hard on a friday to make sense anymore and I still have 1.5 hrs to go.
Thanks
Michael
all depend son how the tabel and cells are set. if they are a fixed width then they shouldn't expand. but if you set them to 100% then they will expand and devide evenly amongst themself in order to get the content in there. so yeah some can expand.
Sorry... I was pretty braindead when I posted that... I should have explained my setup fully.
The table has its width set in it's class. And in the CSS table tag definition I have "padding:0px;margin:0px;border-collapse:collapse;". Each cell has its width set also and they add up to the correct width of the table. Inside each cell is 4 spans all set to 100% What is happening is that I am outerHTML'ing different values to the spans from a hidden frame and sometimes it will move one cell to be 1px bigger and another 1px smaller (or vicea verca, not sure).

ok I see. when you click on a date what does it insert? if it is one word or one number then it won't wrap them. it won't split the word. can't you make the calendar bigger? I mean you have a lot of wasted space on the far right side.
ok now it has changed, did you fix it? also I can't see the text on the bottom when you click on a date? I don't get a scroll bar
If you view source on the lower 10% of the window that is my hidden frame and you can see what has been outerHTML'edQuote:

its usualy 3 digits "100" for example... not nearly enough to need to wrap and it's in a span that is set to 100%Quote:

can't It will eventualy populate a small frame in a site... so it's a big as it can get.Quote:

I haven't changed anything (that is a version I uploaded just for you)... I assume the text you are speaking of is the test data in the 'hidden' frame.Quote:

ok. that makes since. so when I click on the 25th the 100 goes next to the #
this is what I see when I click on 25
25 150200
and all that is being squished into a small area. see when you set the table to a set widthand then a span to 100% of that set width you will only get so big. then you cram a large number in there it will expand the current cell and shrink the others to compansate. but I also noticed the after I clikc on a few the number is going below the date. that is how it's suppose to be isn't it?
actualy its doing this (or supposed to)Quote:

200
see the date # is in a span and each rate is in its own span. like this.
the spans are set to position relevant and width 100% so I was assuming they were below each other. I am writing the date # when the page loads and adding the rates when the viewer clicks a date.Code:<td>
<span>25</span>
<span>150</span>
<span>200</span>
</td>

no unless you put a <br> after the spans then you will continue on one line. spans aren't block levels so it will keep going until you tell it to go to a different line.
YOU ARE AWESOME!!! :)
I have been stuck on that for 1.5 days!!! all it took was a few <br>'s
Thanks again
Michael
cool glad it worked out for ya. keep up the good work
