Looking for code - beginner!

[markbrass]

Hi guys,

I'm a relative beginner to the code etc. business but looking for some help if at all possible. Here goes:

-Making a website for my brass band,
-Have a diary section whereby i'm hoping that visitors can see what we have planned in a certain month
-Have looked at the basic code for calenders offered on this site but looking to see if there's anyway that when you click on a certain day a pop-up or window can show the information for that day, i.e.
"No Bookings"
"Engagement at 4pm"
etc.

All help appreciated!!

Well a pop up page could be done like this:

<a href="/dispute_print.html" onclick="NewWindow(this.href,'name','600','800','yes');return false">Click here for a printable dispute form for mailing.</a>

You may need the http://www.mysite.com in front of the /dispute_print.html

This is what I use to have a new browser window open up, and it's sizable. the 600 is width, and 800 height.

I'm not sure if your question for help involved wanting help for coding or just this... just in case here's too good turorials: http://www.echoecho.com/school.htm and for CSS: http://www.westciv.com/style_master/house/index.html

I looked around and didn't see a calendar that would work for what you want. You can pay for one, I've seen a few of those.

I'm new at this too, but in that first tutorial there is a tutorial on image mapping. You could find a site that has a bunch of monthly calendars up that are all the same size. You could then map it out in a large enough grid so that a mouse click on a date would give you your pop up window. Each days schedule would need to be it's own webpage that pops up. I'd just set it up to do two months shown at a time, then rotate in a new calendar each month, and drop the previous.

There's other scripts here that will give you a pop up window with a mouseover that would look better.

The very easiest way to do it would be to create a text link that says "Tuesday July 24th" and then just have the pop up window for that. Create a generic page called no bookings, and just preload that into every date.

Hope that makes sense... again, I'm new :)
