bellyboy22 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I have a php calendar. It was coded with a bad doctype, so no matter what I try to do the wrapper won't center in ie7 and ie 6. Once I change the doctype to a correct one the wrapper centers but then my calendar cells shrink to these small boxes and whatever I do I can't size them once they are small. <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <title></title> <?php javaScript() ?> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/default.css"> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/web.css"> <!--[if lte IE 6]> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/ie6calendar.css" media="screen" /> <![endif]--> <!--[if gt IE 6]> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/ie7calendar.css" media="screen" /> <![endif]--> </head> <body> <!-- BEGIN WRAPPER--> <div id="wrapper"> <!-- BEGING HEADER --> <div id="header"> <div id="logo"><img src="/images/gda_logo.jpg" alt="gdz_logo" width="330" height="53" /></div> <div class="headerblackbox"> </div> <div id="headerimage"> <img src="/images/header_image.jpg" alt="header_logo" /> </div> </div> <!-- END OF HEADER --> <!-- BEGIN NAV--> <div id="nav"> <ul> <li><a href="http://chubb.gregkilian.com/index.html">HOME</a> I</li> <li><a href="http://chubb.gregkilian.com/print.html">PRINT</a> I</li> <li><a href="http://chubb.gregkilian.com/web.html">WEB</a> I</li> <li><a href="http://chubb.gregkilian.com/3d.html">3D MODELING & ANIMATION</a> I</li> <li><a href="http://chubb.gregkilian.com/video.html">AUDIO VIDEO</a> I</li> <li><a href="http://chubb.gregkilian.com/bio.html">BIOS</a> I</li> <li><a href="http://chubb.gregkilian.com/contacts.html">CONTACTS</a> </li> </ul> </div> <div id="buttonnav"> <img src="/images/photoshop_btn.jpg" alt="photoshop" /><img src="/images/illustrator_btn.jpg" alt="illustrator" /><img src="/images/indesign_btn.jpg" alt="indesign" /><img src="/images/dreamweaver_btn.jpg" alt="dreamweaver" /><img src="/images/flash_btn.jpg" alt="flash" /><img src="/images/premiere_btn.jpg" alt="premiere" /><img src="/images/aftereffects_btn.jpg" alt="aftereffects" /><img src="/images/3dmax_btn.jpg" alt="3dsmax" /> </div> <!-- END NAV --> <br><br><br> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center"> <tr> <td> <?php echo $scrollarrows ?> <span class="date_header"> <?php echo $lang['months'][$m-1] ?> <?php echo $y ?></span> </td> <!-- form tags must be outside of <td> tags --> <form name="monthYear"> <td align="right"> <?php monthPullDown($m, $lang['months']); yearPullDown($y); ?> <input type="button" value="GO" onClick="submitMonthYear()"> </td> </form> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" bgcolor="#000000"> <?php echo writeCalendar($m, $y); ?></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" align="center"> <?php echo footprint($auth, $m, $y) ?></td> </tr> </table> <!-- CHUBB FOOTER START--> <div id="chubbfooter"> <!-- CHUBB FOOTER LINKS START--> <div> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.chubbinstitute.edu/about/">About Us</a> I</li> <li><a href="http://www.chubbinstitute.edu/locations/">Location</a> I</li> <li><a href="http://www.chubbinstitute.edu/admissions/">Admissions</a> I</li> <li><a href="http://www.chubbinstitute.edu/financial-aid/">Financial Aid</a> I</li> <li><a href="http://www.chubbinstitute.edu/request.php">Request Information</a> </li> </ul> </div> <!-- CHUBB FOOTER LINKS END--> <!-- CHUBB DISCLAIMER START--> <div id="chubblegal"> The Chubb Institute is part of the High-Tech Institute family of schools.

Derleek Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 couple suggestions... don't think many will attempt to help you with that big chunk of code. for the best results you should restrict your code blocks to that which is relevant to your problem. Also, This would appear to be a CSS problem, not a php problem. (try posting this in the css forum) Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/121801-busted-doctype/#findComment-628387 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sKunKbad Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 You will either have to stumble upon a very generous person who is willing to fix your CSS, or adjust your own style.

haku Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Fix your doctype, then set CSS for your table to get the sizes up to the sizes you want. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/121801-busted-doctype/#findComment-628455 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellyboy22 Posted August 29, 2008 Author Share Posted August 29, 2008 here is the problem I understand that.. I adjust the doctype and then I can't effect the style at all. if i keep the doctype the way it is the page doesn't center. Im using the right css cause once I change the doctype it sits center but the table which is created in php is tiny and can't be effected anymore.

haku Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 It comes down to this. Which is better - something that is broken, and has been rigged to work, or something that isn't broken, but needs a bit of work to get to work. The size of your table is alterable by CSS. There is no setting that can stop that. If the CSS you are applying isn't working, it's because you are applying it wrong, or you have errors in your (X)HTML.

Derleek Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 xhtml is the standard and is highly recommended. here is a list of valid doctypes Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/121801-busted-doctype/#findComment-629226 Share on other sites More sharing options...
blufish Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Validate your pages, if they validate then there is a problem I don't think you should have a problem using transitional because it is forgiving... Make sure you have a recent doctype. http://validator.w3.org/ Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/121801-busted-doctype/#findComment-632519 Share on other sites More sharing options...
