Mouse over date produces "ghost" of event over page

Mouse over date produces "ghost" of event over page

When I place my mouse on a date that has an event scheduled the text of that event pops up over the existing page. I can access the event by clicking on the text of the event. What have I done wrong. I'm just noticing this though the events have been in the calendar for some time.

If I understand you correctly, that's the event tooltip, and it is a feature. Is there something wrong with it? Does it cause any problems? Or you just didn't expect it to happen?

I don't think it's a tool tip because it's huge and it look's just like the event itself. I can read the text of the page underneath it. Generally, aren't tool tips small boxes of information?

Dick, your "tooltip" look like the one in the attached picture?  The Event calendar popup window shows all the events in the day you are hovering with  the mouse. It can be bigger if many events are present in the same day.

It does except it has no border.

Dick, could the "ghost effect" you mention about the calendar popup window (wich is a feature) be  caused by an incomplete definition of the style sheet you are using? In other word, when the calendar popup appears, are you able to see through something on teh back of teh popup window?. If this happen, the styles.php you are using should be updated to properly define border and background colors/image for the calendar popup window.

Yes, that's what's happening. I'll check out the style.php file as you suggested. Thank you.

I've altered the styles.php file in my custom theme...

    .cal_popup_bg {
        border-top: 2px #FF9A00 solid;
        border-left: 2px #FF9A00 solid;
        border-right: 2px #000000 solid;
        border-bottom: 2px #000000 solid;
        background-image: url(/gradient.jpg);
        padding: 0px;
        margin: 0px;
    }

My problem is that I don't want a background image for the header in the popup box - just a colour (FF9A00).  I don't use background images for the rest of the site, but had to include it in the calendar popup otherwise the header was 'transparent'.  The colour I use is the same as other cell headings, so it would be helpful if I could change it to

    background-color: <?PHP echo $THEME->cellheading?>;

but I can't see where the calendar is pulling the popup box from.
How/where do I change this?

Hey Jon,

Thanks for the tip.

As to your question just change the background-image:  to

background-color: #FF9A00

I checked it and it works.

Dick
