Calendar for Current Month


Here's a calendar I fully intended to use on a client's site, but didn't. It's still a nice script and deserves to be used. It's also Y2K compliant, and bases the calendar shown on the visitor's date settings.

Our goal:

Stuff in blue can be changed to the colors of the page this script will be used on (the one below will have a white background). Month and day names may also be changed for non-English sites. Heck, you can probably use it for sci-fi/fantasy world based calendars too, keeping in mind that the dates will still be based on your visitor's computer's date settings. The script can go between the <BODY> and </BODY> tags.

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
