Question

CFCalendar Scrollbar Bug?

Okay, this one has me stumped.  I've developed a timeclock application and recently added a "request vacation" function for employees.  The form has two cfcalendar controls (one for begin date, one for end date).

On some of our employees IE browsers the controls render with both a vertical and horizontal scrollbar.  On others (using IE) - it renders fine.

It doesn't seem to matter what OS they are using (XP, Vista or 7) as at least one PC from each MS OS version is affected.  It also doesn't seem to matter if the user is using IE8 or 9.

In IE9 on my computer (Windows 7, 32bit) - the calendar renders with scrollbars in compatibility view, but not in normal view.  On others, the scrollbars appear whether or not they are in compatibility view, in IE 8 or IE 9

The controls render fine in Chrome and Firefox.

Here's the code:

<cfcalendar name="vbegin" value="#FORM.vbegin#" maxlength="11" required="yes" message="Please select a vacation begin date." startrange="01/01/1901" endrange="#dateadd('d',-1,now())#">

<cfcalendar name="vend" value="#FORM.vend#" maxlength="11" required="yes" message="Please select a vacation end date." startrange="01/01/1901" endrange="#now()#">

Here's a SS of the scrollbars mucking up the joint:

I've searched high and low and can't find anyone else with this problem, or (obviously) a solution.  Anyone out there got any ideas?  I've tried changing height, width via CSS with no effect.  Thanks!

    You get extra brownie points for effort but, sadly still fail at trolling.  In the off chance you WEREN'T trolling - I had noticed that at the time of my second posting that over 20 people had viewed my question with no response.  So I jokingly posted about that.  If that offended your delicate sensibilities - I apologize.

    Now that THAT's out of the way....

    I've been developing in ColdFusion since 1997.  I've developed dozens of applications and websites.  I've posted questions and answers on many message boards and never treated a request like that.  Learn some respect for others. Try to pay attention to details, like, i don't know, maybe the fact that i didn't say "hey! someone help me now!" or words to that effect.  There was no "kinda suggesting" except to you maybe? Overreact much?

    Have a nice day!

    Yep.  And I was even going to help you until I spotted this post coming in less than an hour after your initial post, kinda suggesting the people here who volunteer their time to help people ought to hurry the hell up and help you.  At that point I decided you seemed like a bit of a twat, and decided I've got better things to do.

    Hmmm.  Actually, just to be clear, I didn't refer to you as a "*****", I called you a "t-w-a-t".  The forums censored me.

    Gotta love censorship.  I'm off to burn some books now.
