When opening calendar view of upcoming events using IE6 on Windows, the columns intersect the blocks on right side (or go off screen if no blocks). To view what I am talking about, please follow the link. Does not appear on Safari Mac OSX.

This appears to be a css issue relating to IE only. I mark this as "postponed" as I have no means to test and change it.

When do you think this will be addressed? I would like to solve this problem ASAP.

Probably never, if not somebody attaches a screenshot so that I can see what this is about. Please go to http://vdst.net/freiburg and try to get the described behaviour to reproduce there. then take a screenshot and post it here. Other sites might be ok, too.

You might add some style handling in your CSS. For example, IE does not like 'em' sizing in tables and columns. I don't know what your CSS says (or doesn't say). You might try using px or even % to define your column/table widths to possibly address this.

Hope this helps! (If it does, please report back as these are easy fixes for future themes and CSS stylings.)

This only happens on when the rights side ia populated with boxes. I will get a screen shot for you.

This also happens in Drupal 4.5.0 and events with marvin as the theme.

I have spoken to people who do understand more about CSS than myself and they said that there isn't much that can be done about it. The content is just too wide. The same happens which many of Drupal's admin tables. What you could do is to "play" with the z-index and try to get the content to overlay the side bar instead.

In the event.css you'll find

#event .event-calendar table {
width: 100%;
}

Change the 100 to 90 and the tables will fit in the content area using Internet Explorer.

There must be some better way which I have not yet discovered, as Drupal is handling wider tables (in administer, for example) just fine in IE. I haven't found out just where the table cell width of the content area is determined, but I'm still looking.

Next I'm going to decrease the font sizes so the table is not so overcroweded, especially when more than one event falls on the same day.
