 * Hello All,
 * I am using the **WordPress SyntaxHighlighter Plus** which I downloaded from [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/syntaxhighlighter-plus/installation/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/syntaxhighlighter-plus/installation/)
 * The code is written in Java @ [http://www.iwebie.com/java-date-to-calendar](http://www.iwebie.com/java-date-to-calendar)
 * I have enclosed the code within _sourcecode tags_ for java. If you notice the
   code, there is an alignment problem with the code page. How do I correct that.
   You will notice a protruding rectangle on the right below part.

 * It ships with css rules that make it 530px wide (.dp-highlighter). Try changing
   that to 100% instead. Or a smaller number.
 * And get Firebug, it’ll save you headaches.
 * Is it my imagination or is it not correctly highlighting the syntax? I’m using
   it on my site and it only highlights keywords and text strings, just like your
   Java. It doesn’t seem to know what to do with embedded xhtml, which is common
   in WordPress theme files.

 * Thank you. Problem resolved after changing the 530px value to 500. I hope thats
   the best solution.
 * And, Can you explain what is Firebug.
 * The syntax highlighting is perfect.

 * Firebug is a Firefox extension for developers – allows you to see the CSS for
   a particular element on the page, even tweak it, among other things. It also 
   allows you to inspect the DOM tree, essential for items loaded or changed by 
   JavaScript that View Source won’t help with. And you can set it up to show JavaScript
   errors too.
 * Saves oodles of time. Another helpful extension is the HTML validator.
