    HTML or not???

    Hi

    sorry for possibly a crap post, but ...

    I have a personal site, which is not commercial and is not profit making
    etc

    I would like to create an online calendar which will detail the details of
    my life.

    what I want / think is that I would have a calendar of a month (October,
    e.g.) and on it would be dates of my birthday, wedding, brothers marriage
    etc and I would be able to change months and years to be able to see various
    stuff.
    Is this HTML that I want or is it something else?

    Pleases help

    Alex

      If you want to avoid scripting and keep it simple with just HTML, you
      could make a template page with a table containing 7 columns (days of
      week) and 5 rows (up to 31 days). Then make 12 copies (one for each
      month of the year) and insert information in the day-cells. This won't
      give you separate years, but maybe you could specify events that
      happened in different years in the same day-cells with another text
      color.

          I was looking at having it cover lots of years, so perhaps scripts would be
          the way to go, anyone suggest a good starting point?

          Cheers

              Do you use any PIM software? A number of packages can export to iCal format
              (or use it as the native format - including IIRC Mozilla Calendar and the
              Mac OS X calendar software), and quite a bit of work is going on to
              manipulate that type of data at the moment.

              http://www.w3.org/2002/12/cal/ might be of use.

                  Depending on what platform your servers are... you could try searching
                  Google for free calendar scripts for your server platform. For example, if
                  your servers are IIS and you can use ASP, then try searching for ASP
                  calendar (or Free ASP calendar).
