Clientlets: dynamic HTML written by client-side JavaScript.

[NEVERSLEEP]

yes wullie
then its better to leave the onchange
but doing a <form action=&quot;..&quot;> also will be more 'user friendly'

[Wullie]

I agree with that as the first time I tried it I did press enter..

Actually, you (NEVERSLEEP) found a IE6-specific bug... Try it from

http://www.angelfire.com/ca/redwards/Calendar.html

and let me know if it works for you...

(I inserted a &quot;.onblur(newWeek)&quot; into it).

 

[RichardEdwards]

Actually, I deliberately avoided using the form's action... Here's why:

Older browsers may lose track of which anchor you're at, upon submitting the form. That may mean that you jump up to the top of the page, even if you didn't want to.

 

[NEVERSLEEP]

then at least make a button &quot;view this year&quot;

[RichardEdwards]

Where would you place such a button?

I have attempted to make this component rather compact so that it co-exists nicely with other web page elements.

this up to u
maybe at the right of the year text input ? ---------------------------------------

That's funny, I tested it with 5.5!!

NEVERSLEEP: Does it work under IE6/Win2Kpro as designed? Namely, can you change the month, day, and year with a correct display?

 

[Wullie]

Richard,

Why do you add the IE6/Win2Kpro part??

What difference is 2kpro going to make to the functionality?? It is the browser that displays the page..

wullie: Thank you for your input (no pun intended). If I am not mistaken, the update I have on

http://www.angelfire.com/ca/redwards/Calendar.html

works under IE/NS/Op 4/5/6 [except for Op4] !!

I look forward to designing more sophisticated pages/sites using clientlets.

 

[Wullie]

Hi mate,

I have just formatted this machine so at present I can only test this in IE5.5. If you want I will test this again in a few hours with other browsers.

First thing I notice is that on the page loading, the buttons are out of shape. I better explain what I mean here. When the page loads, the buttons are not all the same size. When I click on the button, they are all uniform.

Secondly, the point that Neversleep made about the years is still happening.. Is this updated page supposed to solve this?

Hope this helps Wullie

offline its working...
except the faq that users might be tempted to hit enter
when they change the year value ---------------------------------------

In your browser, save

http://angelfire.com/ca/redwards/Calendar.html

to your own local file system. Then if you are bold enough to edit dynamicHTML3.js, look for

function calendarFn

(this builds the calendar). At the bottom of this function, after the

.form(name)

I have inserted

.action("javascript:"+newWeek)

Does that make it work for pressing ENTER? If you can solve this problem, that'd be quite handy! Thanks for any effort...

 

[RichardEdwards]

If you resave

http://www.angelfire.com/ca/redwards/Calendar.html

to your local file system, I think you'll find that it works (ENTER included) for all browsers (including IE6). I made two significant changes to dynamicHTML3.js

After

.form(name)

I inserted

.action("javascript:"+newWeek)

and after

.textfield("year",4,Y).onchange(newWeek)

I added

.onblur(newWeek)

That should handle all of the relevant cases...

 

[RichardEdwards]

NEVERSLEEP: Per your suggestion, I added a &quot;Today&quot; button. I added prev/next day/month/year buttons too.

Take a look...
