Okay, this new version fixed a couple problems I was having. Now I
just have 2 things to take care of and it'll be perfect. First, when
an email reminder or test email for the upcoming event is sent, a link
straight back to that event is included in the email. When that link
is clicked, it brings up the event but the background color in it is
black! The color is fine when you click on the event from the
calendar. I'm not sure where the code is to fix this and I've looked
everywhere.

Second, on the upcoming events list I want to get rid of the dropdown
box altogether. I'm using it as one big list so there is no need for
the dropdown (or the name of the calendar). How do I delete the
dropdown?

Once those 2 things are working correctly then I am set and it will be
working perfectly. Thanks so much for any help.

hey Val
 
I wonder if the black background has anything to do with the body tag... it seems to be this in your HTML: <body ">
 
may want to get rid of that straggling quote there. also - BODY in your CSS is background: #000 [which is black...] - so may be pulling from that?
 
HTH!

Ok. The body tag wasn't the issue. However, the css was. It was
pulling from the overall background, which I want to be black. Is
there a way to make it so that the upcoming event pop up (from the
link in the email and from the upcoming events list) is the same color
as given in the main calendar? Or at least white? There has to be a
way. On previous versions it worked that way. I just don't know
exactly where to go to make that happen. :)

You can set a css rule that applies to only certain nesting
combinations of tags.

Try this:

body div.event_details {
background-color:#ffffff;
}

That did it! Thanks. I only know a little css, but I'm learning.
Now, one last thing I need for now and it'll be perfect. The drop
down box on the upcoming events iframe. I don't want the box. I've
chosen to make it one big list so I shouldn't need the box. How do I
get rid of it? Thanks so much!

Hey Val, glad to see you've got your problem solved.

Regarding your last question... have you tried using CSS properties to
hide the box in a div? Like.. .visibility
{ visibility:hidden; } .display { display:none; } ?

Best regards,
Eduardo

Hi. Okay, I tried to do what you said and it worked for a second. I
figured out it was being written to the upcomeingevents.html file
(which is where I was making the changes) everytime it was loaded. So
even though I would make the changes, reload, and it worked, then I
would reload for something else and it was back. So I went into the
upcoming_events.CGI and changed it there. I don't know the first thing
about perl but it seems to be okay for now. We will see. Thanks for
your help.

Val
