Yeah sorry...Don't let me dissuade you. The "big undertaking" was my interpretation of what a more modern looking/functioning version of that app might be.
The literal translation of it probably wouldn't be very hard at all with tacos or t4.1 (through the use of dojo or any other modern js library of course - I'm just a glorified "glue" coder ;) ) On 2/12/07, Holger Stolzenberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
In the tacos library the JS Calendar (http://www.dhtmlgoodies.com/index.html?page=calendarScripts) in integrated as tacos:DatePicker component. May be the tacos sources can help you too. -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Julian Wood [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Montag, 12.

I think I will explore the EventListener annotation a little more to see if I can see a way to hook it up to the events created by this planner, and if that looks promising I will go down that road. I also hadn't realized you could listen for invocations of javascript functions, which should give me another route.
