DHTML Calendar — for the impatient
This page demonstrates how to setup a flat calendar. Examples of
popup calendars are available in another page.
The code in this page uses a helper function defined in
"calendar-setup.js". With it you can setup the calendar in
minutes. If you're not that impatient, ;-) complete documenation is
available.
The positioning of the DIV that contains the calendar is entirely your
job. For instance, the "calendar-container" DIV from this page has the
following style: "float: right; margin-left: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em".
Following there is the code that has been used to create this calendar.
You can find the full description of the Calendar.setup() function
in the calendar documenation.
<div style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"
id="calendar-container"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
function dateChanged(calendar) {
// Beware that this function is called even if the end-user only
// changed the month/year. In order to determine if a date was
// clicked you can use the dateClicked property of the calendar:
if (calendar.dateClicked) {
// OK, a date was clicked, redirect to /yyyy/mm/dd/index.php
var y = calendar.date.getFullYear();
var m = calendar.date.getMonth(); // integer, 0..11
var d = calendar.date.getDate(); // integer, 1..31
// redirect...
window.location = "/" + y + "/" + m + "/" + d + "/index.php";
}
};
Calendar.setup(
{
flat : "calendar-container", // ID of the parent element
flatCallback : dateChanged // our callback function
}
);
</script>
