Hi Steve,

I have started using the calendar function and it is nice seeing a Calendar tab in my various table views. In my particular case, the Calendar layout is quite small and all my entries get truncated by one or two characters. Is there a way to make the calendar squares (i.e. one day is one square) “bigger” so i can fit more text into them? Alternatively, is there a way to change the font size of the calendar entries?

Finally, do you have some sample javascript snippet (or could you direct me to a forum sample) where, if I hover my cursor over an entry in the calendar, it will automatically show a popup of three of my fields in the record, which in my case is “ChangeDate”, “Description” and “Implementor”?

Thanks very much.

I think you’re probably looking at using CSS to try to change the size of the calendar.
“hover” events currently aren’t supported. You could try to set something up yourself, but I’m not sure what pitfalls you might run into.

Thanks Steve….I’ll take a look at the CSS angle.
