Yes, you can use iCalendar to show calendar in your web-page. You can embed the follwing applet code in your web-page, which will display a calendar:

<APPLET NAME="Calendar" WIDTH="200" HEIGHT="300" CODE="iCalendar" CODEBASE="/XMII/Classes" ARCHIVE="illum8.zip" MAYSCRIPT>
				</APPLET>

And you can get the selected date from the calendar, using the following API:

document.Calendar.getDateAsString("[some date format]");

Also Calendar has another API getDate() which returns the GregorianCalendar object. Since you are working with web-page, getDateAsString() will work bettter for you.

Hi Sara,

Could you or somebody else please, give some more information about the "[some date format]" parameter of the getDateAsString() function?

I wasn't able to get a compliant date (as per RFC-822- i.e. [Thu, 13 Nov 2008 13:00:22 -0500]) out of the iCalendar applet, and I need this date format to aggregate data from many plants on different time-zones.

Any help is appreciated.

Paul.

You will have to build the pieces. Note the obvious correlation between:
