Club Calendar

[davej 251]

Over the past few days I've assembled a club calendar using Javascript which reads a club event schedule (array) that resides in its own file. Going forward I'll have Php regenerate the Javascript array file when a user makes a change to the event schedule (from a Mysql table). Such changes would not be frequent so I thought it might be more efficient to keep it all in Javascript.

I would appreciate any suggestions for improvement.

Looks like you did a pretty good job. Sorry, I don't have many suggestions.

Maybe depending on which month it is, have a new page background or header background show up? and change the colors of the calendar?

maybe you could put the day numbers in the top left or right so that there is more space for event information in each day box

Hey, those are decent ideas. Thanks. I've become particularly fond of this javascript file approach rather than accessing the database because I think that will avoid some annoying wakeup delays that I see on these cheap webhosts.

 

I'm also going to change it so that it loads the current date from the server and checks it against the browser date.

Hi Dave,

 

I like it.

 

I would have made it hover-based rather than click-based though.

 

It would be even quicker to consult, I just hover in the event that interests me and hover out.

Ouch I just realized that would rule out touchscreen devices though.
