Chonli –

Currently the Calender doesn’t support range selection, but a bug has been filed for it:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1670139&group_id=165715&atid=836479

It wouldn’t be that hard to get this to work, I may try to take a stab at it if I get some extra time..

I was checking with IE .it does n\\\’t work .Here is a tweak..

var arr = { ‘6/30/2007′:’This is the 7th of June’,
‘6/23/2007′:’This is one more day’};

var tooltip = function(e){
var id =\\\”\\\”;
if(e.target)
id = e.target.id;
else
id = e.srcElement.id;
endif;
var ab = cal1.getDateFieldsByCellId(e.target.id);
var b = ab[1]+”/”+ab[2]+”/”+ab[0];
if (arr[b])
new YAHOO.widget.Tooltip(’tt’,{context:e.target.id,
text:arr[b]});

}

YAHOO.util.Event.addListener(’cal1′, “mouseover”, tooltip);

Do you think we need such a big piece of code to achieve the tooltip..Here is another thought..

var arr = { ‘6/30/2007′:’This is the 7th of June’,
‘6/23/2007′:’This is one more day’};

var tooltip = function(e){
var ab = cal1.getDateFieldsByCellId(e.target.id);
var b = ab[1]+”/”+ab[2]+”/”+ab[0];
if (arr[b])
new YAHOO.widget.Tooltip(‘tt’,{context:e.target.id,
text:arr[b]});

}

YAHOO.util.Event.addListener(‘cal1′, “mouseover”, tooltip);

THnks

Is it possible to attache the calendar to multiple text fields within the one form. I am havinf some problems. I ran up a quick hack, that takes a var in init, then looks for “calContatiner”+dateElement; I am not getting any errors but calendars do not display. I can mail you my crude hack. Any suggestions on how I would do this?

Thanks in advance.

qin –

The $, $E, $D, $T vars are all part of my YUI Tools package, you can find it here:
http://blog.davglass.com/files/yui/tools/

As for the tooltips, I would be rather simple to do. I wouldn’t recommend doing an HXR on a mouse over.. I would suggest that it be done before the loading of the calendar.. Doing it on mouseover would likely give you a DOS attack on your entry point.. It would really eat up bandwidth and extra requests to the server.

Cheers..

Dave:

I like the Calendar popup from text field. When I tried your updated version, I got $E, $D and $T undefined errors. When I
tried your original example, it works fine. What are those $E, E and T? Where are they defined?

I also like the tooltip sample? How can I integrate that example to the calendar popup from text field example? I have all
tip msg stored in database. I’d like to see mouse over event calls DWR methods to retrieve the tip msg from database. If
the msg avaialbe for that date, it would show it as a tip. Otherwise, display nothing. Is it possbile to do? Please advise.
Thanks.
