Hyperlinks on dates (basic html calendar)

1) Script Title: Basic Calendar

2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...iccalendar.htm

3) Describe problem: I need to add my own hyperlinks to specific dates on this calendar, I'm not too experienced in any of this and I think it would be better to just ask instead of spending a ton of time figuring it on my own. Google wasn't of much help but a similar question was asked years ago, it just did it differently. I can't figure out how to make it work the way I want.

How did it do it? And how do you want it done?

Hey! You're the same guy that replied to the last question about this. The one you did sent it to a specific page named after the date like Dec 10th 2016 would sent to the page 12102016.htm or something like that. What I need is to be able to link specific dates to actual web links like to google.com or any other website for example. Thank you for replying

here was the thread I found about it but it didn't accomplish what I wanted it to http://www.dynamicdrive.com/forums/s...ith-hyperlinks

OK, working from that thread, make your special days array look like so:

Code:

---

var specialDays=new Array()
// set special days for links below: specialDays[x]=['month_number', 'date_number', 'year_number', 'link', 'optional_target']
specialDays[0]=['12', '25', '2005', 'http://www.google.com/', '_blank']
specialDays[1]=['1', '1', '2006', 'http://www.dynamicdrive.com/']

---

and change this

Code:

---

if ([mi+1]==specialDays[i_tem][0]&&[i-offsetD+1]==specialDays[i_tem][1]){
calA[i].innerHTML='<a href="'+([mi+1].toString(10).length<2? '0'+[mi+1] : [mi+1] )+([i-offsetD+1].toString(10).length<2? '0'+[i-offsetD+1] : [i-offsetD+1])+cal_y.innerHTML+'.htm">'+[i-offsetD+1]+'</a>';
break
}

---

to:

Code:

---

if ([mi+1]==specialDays[i_tem][0]&&[i-offsetD+1]==specialDays[i_tem][1]&&cal_y.innerHTML==specialDays[i_tem][2]){
calA[i].innerHTML='<a href="' + specialDays[i_tem][3] + '"' + (specialDays[i_tem][4]? ' target="' + specialDays[i_tem][4] + '"' : '') + '>'+[i-offsetD+1]+'</a>';
break
}

---

Works exactly how it should, thank you.

Great! I'm not sure if you would want/need this, or maybe someone else reading here would, we can make it so that the year is optional, so that if instead of a year, you could put 'all' and that would make that special date active in that month for all years, ex:

Code:

---

var specialDays=new Array()
// set special days for links below: specialDays[x]=['month_number', 'date_number', 'year_number', 'link', 'optional_target']
specialDays[0]=['12', '25', '2005', 'http://www.google.com/', '_blank']
specialDays[1]=['1', '1', 'all', 'http://www.dynamicdrive.com/']

---

To make that work, we would need to make that other part like so:

Code:

---

if ([mi+1]==specialDays[i_tem][0]&&[i-offsetD+1]==specialDays[i_tem][1]&&(specialDays[i_tem][2]=='all'||cal_y.innerHTML==specialDays[i_tem][2])){
calA[i].innerHTML='<a href="' + specialDays[i_tem][3] + '"' + (specialDays[i_tem][4]? ' target="' + specialDays[i_tem][4] + '"' : '') + '>'+[i-offsetD+1]+'</a>';
break
}

Weird problem, maybe it has to do with an update or something. But the arrows to change the month/year are now gone. Anyway to fix this?

another thing: I can still click the arrows to change the month or year, but they are invisible.

I think I would need a link to your problem page to investigate.
