javascript calendar

XML Information

Javascript XML functions are either not supported or poorly supported in most of the current browser. Safari browsers for example do not support xml at all in version 1.0. Therefore, it is our recommendation that you use the scEvent.js format and the Event Editor in order to support as many browsers as possible. However, if you can control what browsers access your website, you may choose to use the XML features of our software. The Microsoft Internet Explorer 6+ fully implements all of the XML features used by the Scriptcalendar and we recommend using XML data with only that browser. Firefox and Netscape now support XML data events, but not the XLST transform.

The Scriptcalendar software supports (1.) XML data for database driven events, and (2.) an XSL transformation that can be used to control the layout.

In order to use XML data events, you must...

1. set the xmlFile property to the relative path of the XML file you want the calendar to use.
2. Remove the dcEvent calls file either by renaming the dcevent.js or removing the javascript include for dcevent.js in the scrptcal.htm file or your HTML file.

This is a small sample of the xml.

<events>
	<event>
		<month>12</month>
		<day>1</day>
		<year>2006<year/>
		<text>event on 12-1-2006</text>
		<popuplink/>
		<style/>
		<tooltip/>
		<script/>
	</event>
	<event>
		<month>12</month>
		<day>2</day>
		<year>2006<year/>
		<text>event on 12-2-2006</text>
		<popuplink/>
		<style>scEventRed</style>
		<tooltip/>
		<script/>
	</event>
</events>

In order to use an XSL Transform to control the layout of the calendar, you must...

1. set the xslFile property to the relative path of the XSLT file you want the calendar to use.

More documentation on this feature will be added shortly.
