Jumping calendar... 2

[jpadie]

i have a work-in-progress script for drawing month calendars here

all looks fine in firefox but in safari (for mac 3.1.2) there is a jump to the right of the whole calendar going from jan 2009 to feb 2009. and back again from march onwards.

it must be something odd in the design that is triggered by feb 2009 only occupying 4 rows, and there being only 'active' day boxes, but I can't see what. perhaps borders being doubled and not collapsed?

as said, FF does not exhibit the jump.

any insights would be gratefully appreciated. this is the second jumping exhibit that i've seen in two days. the other one is a menu jump on :hover. but i haven't given up on that one yet...

Save yourself some head scratching by getting your code to validate before you go any further.

It's probably the right-hand scrollbar appearing and disappearing. That gives me the jump in Fx 2 / Win if my window isn't tall enough.

P.S. I've just tried in Safari 3.1.2 / Mac and with a tall enough window, I don't see the problem...

you're dead right. it's the rh scroll bar that's pushing it across. my window in ff was much smaller so the scroll bar was always there.

that's almost as embarrassing as not seeing the row colour differences on a manky monitor...

@audiopro: agreed that it's always better to validate. but bar very few, the validation errors all related to the invalid use of the id attribute. apparently i am not allowed to start an id with a number. i don't think that any of them will have had an effect on format. but thanks for the pointer anyway.

It is always worth throwing it at the validator as it is so easy to miss a bad tag. Dan has hit the problem as always but I always get the simple stuff sorted first, then worry about the less obvious stuff.
Glad you are sorted.
