Lock format of website. HELP!

[SVTCobraLTD]

My PHP site keeps getting messed up because of the external links. The Local Events section seems to be throwing off the format. Is there any way to make this not happen again? It happens atleast once a month.

Hae you tried running the page through and html validator? http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ht...Inline&group=0 You may find that if you fix the errors, the pages renders correctly.

I just took a look at the page source, and you really, really need to relook at what you've done html-wise. It's a mess. The validator link should help.

The issue seems to be that the left external "Local Events" links are not wrapping to the next line. I have changed the width from 100% to 125px but the words still extend over the boxes. However the content on the right side, which is the exact same code, wraps the links.

You have in the code that you want 4 links output... but only 2 are getting output. That is screwing up the javascript that makes the table and everything else is getting screwed up. You'll need to fix the javascript for if you have less links available than the number you ask for.

But I want 4 to show.

But 4 *aren't* showing and things are getting screwed up because of it. I have no idea why 4 aren't showing, but it you could get 4 to show, I'm guessing it will look fine. But, since it is only showing 2, and you are asking for 4, the table isn't getting closed correctly and the page is going wonky.

Figured it out.

In vboptions>external data there is a setting for how many days of information. Since there are not too many car shows going on anymore, the threads got older than the setting. I changed it to a longer time frame and all is well. Thank you for your help Lynne.
