Features - v1.903 (See History for more details)

• New in v1.9 -
  
  *** 1. The much awaited CSS (Stylesheet) support !! Yes, now you can control the appearance of the calendar (Inline/Popup) the way you want. Modify the predefined style classes in Calendar.css. You can control the font, colors, background for normal dates, weekends, holidays. You can define a different header style and much more..
  
  *** 2. CurrentDate parameter can reference a form element now. This way the starting date will be picked up from the form element. The syntax is CurrentDate= . The angular brackets basically indicate that we are referencing a form element in the calling document.
  
  *** 3. Better internationalization support - Weekdays, Month names with their short names.
  
  *** 4. Improved Control over calendar. Showing/Hiding the Fix checkbox and other elements.
  
  *** 5. Specify additional holidays for the dates which shouldn't be clickable and/or highlighted. A comma delimited list of holidays can be specified in the MMDD format. They will be highlighted in their own color.
  
  *** 6. Optimized Script (40% smaller footprint) : The script source code has now been optimized for a more speedy download on your websites. The code has been obfuscated and optimized thus reducing the size by 40%. This will make the script load faster on pages that refer to it for their calendar applications.
  
  *** 7. Bugfixes. Check the history for more details.
