Select a view from the choices above. A frame will pop up showing that view of a calendar. In the month or week views, a double click on a day pops up a dialog box which allows the entry of comments for that day. The day view allows the direct entry of comments. Arrow buttons can be used in the day and week views to cycle forward or backward through time. The month view uses a tabbed dialog box containing a tab for each month in the year.

The applet will remember the entered comments until it is flushed from your browser's memory. When this happens depends on which browser you use and how it is configured. It is likely that if you leave this page and come back much later, that your comments will have dissappeared. If you leave the page and come back quickly, it is possible that your comments will still be in memory.

The calendar applet shown above showcases the JAVA 1.0 implementations of the CalenderView foundation classes. It demonstrates the use of the CalendarView container showing the CalendarMonthView, CalendarWeekView and CalendarDayInteractor compound components.

The applet uses CalenderView Beta 1.0 which is freely available in source and compiled form. CalendarView Beta 1.0 documentation and downloading instructions are available here.

Known Bugs

• Applet choice component may not fit properly into the space provided for the applet. Depending on your default font and browser, there may either be some extra gray space around the choice, or the choices may not fit into the choice box. The example applet should take care to choose a font that fits properly in the applet area.

• Fails to draw boxes around month days and week days except for the selected day and days which have comments entered.

• The text entry dialog box doesn't echo keystrokes. The same is true of the day view component. I suspect the problem is with Netscape Linux's TextArea.
• Netscape sometimes crashes while changing views. This is probably the same old Netscape bug in conjunction with the new libc malloc. The workaround is either to use libc-5.3.12 or to compile the libc with the old malloc.
• Navigator 4.04 exhibits neither of these bugs and is generally much more stable. I strongly suggest upgrading to this version.
