I think there's a typo in paragraph 1;

"and then pass this main to the original window."

but the article is a great refresher on how to open new windows. I especially appreciate the cross-browser bits.

Gents, the popup calendar works great, but...I believe there is a flaw in the code: if the opener calls the poup calendar more than 3 times (sometimes 2), the javascript functions (changemonth(), changeyear(), changeday()) stop responding..I've been trying to find the problem but with my little knowledge of Javascript I haven't been very successful.

Best regards.

The problem with your calendar is that it cannot be used in the case of multiple text boxes on the same page that require a calendar button.

I am a student doing my final Project paper requirement for my degree in Computer Systems at Unitec, Auckland, New Zealand.
The work I am doing involves the user selecting a DateFrom and DateTo parameters for the generation of a bargraph. Very simple and very effective.
You are well referenced in my report.
Thanx

function makeArray0() {
for (i = 0; i this[i] = makeArray0.arguments[i];
}

var names = new makeArray0('January','February','March','April','May','June','July','August','September','October','November','December');
var days = new makeArray0(31, 28, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31);
var dow = new makeArray0('Sun','Mon','Tue','Wed','Thu','Fri','Sat');

Perhaps you're not familiar with the split() function for strings?

Thank you for your Date Selector. You saved me some of my development time. The only change I made is replaced a static page name 'cal.htm' with more flexible self.location.href what allows to use any name for the calendar page.
I used to use a DIV based calendar but there was a problem with it when displaying over dropdown box that was showing through.
Page based calendar is a better solution.
Thanks again.
Best regards,
Anatoli

The only problem I have with the calendar is that it has to reload the page every time you change the month or year.

The solution for this is:

In the cal.htm file, create a div in the html at the bottom and give it an id of CalContainer. Eg: <div id='CalContainer'></div>

Then replace the window.location parts in the changeMonth and changeYear functions with document.getElementById('CalContainer').innerHTML=Calendar(opener.month, opener.year). You may also want to put this at the bottom of the page to initialise the calendar.

And that should do the job ... an easy-to-use calendar that DOES NOT require the page to reload every single time you change the month or year!

I hope someone finds this useful ...
