If I have this code:
<!--#calendar mode=month--> <A HREF="/some/place/form"><!--#var date fmt=day--></A> <!--#/calendar-->
Then - is there some way that the DTML method 'form' in /some/place/ can pick up what 'daylink' that was the caller, or is the only way to transfer variables between methods to use forms?
You can pass it as a query string. Something like: <!--#calendar mode=month--> <A HREF="/some/place/form?date=<!--#var date fmt=spam-->"> <!--#var date fmt=day--> </A> <!--#/calendar--> (where spam is one of the formats that yields YYYY-MM-DD or MM-DD-YYYY or what have you... I can never remember the date formatting options) Alternately, with more magic you could include the date as part of the URL. (/some/place/form/1999-05-14)
I hope there is a solution to this as it would be fairly simple then to create an appointmet calendar kind of thing.
That's exactly the kind of thing it's inteneded for. The default UI is a clone of the Palm Pilot Datebook application, actually :-) P.S. to those of you who sent me mail with questions and enhancements to the calendar tag... I'm just starting to get myself dug out of a whole pile of work, so I should be able to hack on Calendar and TinyTables again soon.
