Return to clocks and calendars for some specialized uses
Credit:

This is a very useful JavaScript component because it allows users to create a Web calendar without having to resort to server-side scripting with PHP, Perl or Java Servlets/JSP. One can keep it simple using DHTML. The page wide calendar uses some deprecated HTML tags such as <font> and <center> quite extensively; but otherwise it is up to date in technology - and in fact anticpates the current pendulum swing back to rich clients.

What is nice about this calendar is that users have a series of file to conventiently customize the calendar:

  1)events.js - allows users to specify the events to be displayed in each calendar day
  2)messages.js - allow users to supply some default filler messages for each month
  3)print.html - a template for print output
  4)export.html - a template file for exporting calendars

Instead of using a PHP-based calendar I found this JavaScript component easy to use and so I have incorporated it in theOpenSourcery.com's Event and news pages. It is that easy to customize.
