Using CalendarTag
There are two ways the calendar demo can be used. The first is to have the CalendarTag submit a request when the user selects a date and the second is to have the Calendar Tag execute some client side script when the user selects a date. These are both demonstrated below
Calendar Tag Submitting a Request
For this demo clicking on a date on the calendar will submit a request that include parameters for the date selected.
Select Month
CalendarTag Executing a Client Side Script
This second demo uses the CalendarTag to set a date value in a text box of a form. A client side script is called with three parameters of day, month and year which allows the client code to define how the date is written to the field.
Popup Demo
This demo displays the Calendar Tag in a new window and allows the user to set a date in the box below. It also demonstrates localisation by allowing the user select the language for the Calendar. The different style is controlled purely by CSS.
