Hi Ken,
I'm pretty sure I mastered this non-layout issue before but now it's come back again. Though, I can't remember what I did.
The circular shape is where the problem is.
Please help,
William

Re: Layout Problem on ajax-dashboard.php!
Will,
I don't see what the fuss is all about .. yes, the 'Wednesday Night' long string does seem to push the right boundary of the dashboard out a bit, but it's not overly noticeable to the casual observer (most users) of your website.
The cause is simple .. you'd updated your WU-forecast.php with the script mods from BJKiwi to have the linear display of icons.
His mod removed the <br /> in the icon before the word 'Night' so it no longer 'folds' automatically.
Live with the minor inconvenience or restore the original WU-forecast.php and live with that inconvenience.
In either case, it's not a major alarm emergency.

Hi Ken,
Thanks for your very quick reply!
Ah, I see! But, as I said I had somehow done this so it doesn't push the boundary over when it showed Wednesday Night...

Re: Layout Problem on ajax-dashboard.php!
Ken, Will,
Sorry about the unforeseen effect of my changes, As you will be aware I don't actually have the WU forecast icon on my page having replaced the 'Outlook' section with a 'Cloud' section.
However, shouldn't the long text wrap automatically as it does in the moon section?

Re: Layout Problem on ajax-dashboard.php!
Will had modified the ajax-dashboard so it produces the oddly conflicting specs for alignment:
in the resultant HTML. Having two align="left" and a style with 'text-align: center' in it may create some confusion in the browser about what to do when the width of the text exceeds the pixels computed to display the data.
HTML with syntax errors or conflicting specifications may yield unanticipated results.
You're correct that the text will usually wrap at a space (if allowed) to fit the bound given.
Best regards,
Ken
Code: Select all
<table border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td class="data1" align="left" style="font-size: 8pt; border:none;text-align: center" align="left">
Thursday<br/><img src="./forecast/images/ra30.jpg" width="55" height="58"
alt="Rain" title="Rain"/><br/>Rain </td>
</tr>
</table>

Re: Layout Problem on ajax-dashboard.php!
Hi Ken/BCJKiwi,
Sorry, for making you confused. I have replaced the WU-forecast.php script with the latest script (with no mods). I am happy now, as the layout problem won't appear again! Also, that stylistic want I had a few months ago, doesn't seem to apply to me anymore.
Thanks for your help,
William

Re: Layout Problem on ajax-dashboard.php!
You still have the HTML errata, so your page no longer validates as XHTML 1.0-Transitional.
Keep in mind that pages that do not validate also do not appear the same in all browsers as each browser has a slightly different fallback mechanism to cope with HTML errors and attempt to display what you'd instructed it to do.

Hi Ken,
I have now modified the ajax-dashboard.php file. So, the index.php file now validates as XHTML 1.0-Transitional!
