Pop-up Calendar 1.0
Creating calendars, Steps 2 and 3
2. For every <dlcalendar> tag, include an HTML element having the id specified in the click_element_id attribute.
Without an element for the user to click, the popup calendar will, of course, not pop up.
Example:
<dlcalendar click_element_id="img_flightdeparture"></dlcalendar>
<img id="img_flightdeparture" src="dlcalendar_1.gif" height="15" width="20" alt="calendar">
This element is usually an image, but it could be any HTML element. The dlcalendar.zip download includes five images that you can use, or create your own.
filename:
dlcalendar_1.gif width: 20 height: 15 |
|
filename:
dlcalendar_2.gif width: 13 height: 13 |
|
filename:
dlcalendar_3.gif width: 20 height: 15 |
|
filename:
dlcalendar_4.gif width: 20 height: 15 |
|
filename:
dlcalendar_5.gif width: 15 height: 14 |
For a popup calendar spawned from a non-image element, click here.
If you want to display the date in an input element, then the input element must also be defined. For example:
<dlcalendar click_element_id="img_flightdeparture" input_element_id="input_flightdeparture" tool_tip="Click to choose flight departure date"></dlcalendar>
<input type="text" id="input_flightdeparture"> <img id="img_flightdeparture" src="dlcalendar_2.gif" height="13" width="13" alt="calendar">
3. Include the external dlcalendar.js script in your page.
The script must be included at the end of your page, preferably just before the closing body tag. Like so:
<script src="dlcalendar.js type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
</body>
</html>
The popup calendar accepts many attributes making customization easy.
