Been trying to get this sorted, but no matter what I do to the css file, nothing changes on the page :o

All files are at the bottom of the page - www.dorsetdog.com/test (http://www.dorsetdog.com/test)

Trying to get the calendar to look something like

I don't know what's going on there then.

I use Chrome. But opened Firefox, and it went straight to the page requested. Then I tried it in IE 9 and again it was fine. You're not with Tiscali talktalk by any chance? It is a Google sites website, and a friend on talktalk occasionally has issues with anything Google.

But I've now added a direct link in the navigation - go to www.dorsetdog.com and you'll see test on its own on the right hand side of the navigation

Thanks

Hi there Mark Ellis,

I am with "Orange", formerly "Wanadoo", formerly "Freeserve".


It is a Google sites website.....

Well, I don't know what a "Google sites website" is. :eek:

I do know, though, that my "Windows 7" pc does not contain anything of "Google", either in the
"Registry" or in the "Files". ;)

I also tried my old "Windows XP" pc, which has not been cleansed but had similar results...

Server not found

My suggestion is that you take this problem, and the one in your original post, to "Google" itself.

There are probably some procedures that you have omitted to do. ;)

However, the first question is, if the CSS is external, which I think it is, do you know it is linked correctly?

With all the files in the same folder on my pc - if I put a load of resets at the top of the CSS file, then the calendar contents is moved over to the left - so the HTML must be picking up the CSS

My htm file (as attached at the bottom of the test page) is

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>Calendar</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="calendar.js"></script>
<link href="jec-grey.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" >
</head>

When used on the Google sites then the JS and CSS links have the dorsetdog links

Please use the forum's bbcode tags to make it more readable:

for php code............
<?php /* code goes here */ ?>
for html...............
<!-- markup goes here -->.....
for js/css/other.......
code goes here................

Thanks for your help

I was blindly following the tutorial on the guys site, but failed to realise that he hadn't given half the information. The CSS files provided aren't linked to the html or js. http://ilsen.zxq.net/calendar/index.html

His work is great, but people do need to rememebr that most of us are out there in the dark, and need all the basic info fed to us as well :o
