This is the next release of the popular SparrowScripts Popup Datepicker. Below are the features of this latest release of the SparrowScripts. Items in blue refers to new features being incorporated on 3rd September 2006.
This script displays a calendar using the current date by default. It requires 3 files, one for extracting the date from the query string, another one containing the CSS and the last the function used to generate the calendar.
In short, fcp.Calendar is a tiny, self-contained Javascript library. It displays a monthly Gregorian calendar, such that an event is triggered any time the user clicks on a date.
As the internet evolves, users are demanding more professional interfaces when entering their data online. The default web forms so prevalent on the internet have begun to show some cracks when it comes to delivering a rich user experience. At the same time, webmasters need a quick and easy way to design and validate forms that handle customer data quickly and securely.
The event calendar on many group's web sites is often a key resource for their visitors. During an extended bout of unemployment I did some volunteer web site work for a local organization to which I belong and investigated how other groups were doing the event calendars on their sites.
I was looking for a way to put up an interactive event calendar on the site that would show the current month, but also let you flip backwards or forwards to other months as you would in a print calendar. I also wanted it to be inexpensive (preferably FREE), easy to maintain, visually attractive, plus not require any server-side scripting capability which our webhost provider did not include with our bare-bones webhosting package.
