Getting Web Calendar Running - Page 2

I just wasted $9.99! I pulled the trigger too fast on purchasing the Web Calendar before I did a trial run. But with the name WEB calendar, I expected a calendar that I could manage on-line, not have to run some software on my PC. What if I need to add/change a date and I’m not home?
Oh well, one more piece non-functional software from CoffeeCup in the wastebasket.

I was curious about that too. I'm wondering how many files would have to be uploaded for a minor change. Be great if it were only a single file for a small calendar change.

Chris, The one thing that may be causing your issues is that your page has no Doc type declaration on it. There's a few other issues with the basic page setup as well.

I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Yeah, no body tag, no charset declaration...

What have you been using to create the web page?

What you said is extremely rude. CoffeeCup's Web Calendar is not junk, nor is it the fault of CoffeeCup that you didn't use the trial before buying it. Just because you jumped the gun doesn't give you the right to come here and bad mouth the software just because it's not what "you" expected it to be. Trial versions are there for a reason, it's no one's fault but your own if you don't use them. Also reading the information on the website about the program tells you pretty much what to expect. Site doesn't say it's an online calendar, it's a calendar for web builders. After all, CoffeeCup is a software company that creates software for building websites ...

Other than that, updating is extremely fast. Since most all the updates are for the calendar itself and not the styling you can style it outside the program and still upload the calendar changes without messing that up. Changes in the program take no more than if you did it online yourself so updates are fast. The files are small and upload very quickly.

If you're wondering about updating if you're not home... ever hear of a flash drive? :P Works just fine and you can update it anywhere you want then.

I haven't been to the site you mention yet Eric but I'll check it out. What I 'did do' though was use my Coffee Cup HTML editor to try and get closer to proper tags. Until that moment, I admit to using Notepad Inger Eik, which usually gets me where I need to go but not this time. Having added some tags though through CC HTM Editor hasn't changed the outcome gang - appreciate your help and input. :D

Dunno that it's just an HTML issue anymore, all... I just placed a 'validator' corrected version of the code from the link Eric supplied and it's doing the same thing (mis-behavin').

Did you alter the CSS that the Calender generates?

I've tried a couple of things this morning but haven't cracked the case yet. Thanks
