Hi! I have a question related to use of the calender tag. 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? I hope there is a solution to this as it would be fairly simple then to create an appointmet calendar kind of thing. Greatly appreciate your help! Sture Lygren

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)

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.

Would Ty, or anyone else, care to expound on what this magic might be? I have an application I am working on which could really use something like this, but my brain is short-circuiting trying to figure out how to achieve it in a dynamic fashion. jkh

Thanks a lot!! - things start to work here (finally). Now I'm down to only one question, how do I get to use the properties and variables documented in the CalenderTag class? Could you please give an DTML example?

Sure, here's a simple example that shows a calendar with weekend days shown on a red background,and with each day linked to the day-mode version of the display for that date. <!--#calendar--> <!--#if "date.dow() in (0, 6)"--> <!--#call "setCalendar('cellbgcolor', 'red')"--> <!--#/if--> <a href="<!--#var "linkDate(date, 'day')"-->"> <!--#var date fmt=day--> </a> <!--#/calendar-->
