1) What invokes the calendar; perhaps "x999cal(...)"?

2) "function x999cal_new_year()" contains the following line:

function");

Don't you get an error?

3) Why "var x999months" and "var x999monthabbs"; they're equal?

I have a javascript file named select.js. This is a file which is used
to pop up a calendar, when clicked on a calendar icon in an ASP file. I
have a close button in the calendar. When i click on the button, the
calendar is not closing.


Read the FAQ before posting to a newsgroup.

Code lines should be appropriately wrapped by hand, or written so that
they do not need it; do not let them be broken by inferior software, as
that makes your material illegible and unexecutable.

Your code is highly inefficient; if it is yours, you are evidently well
beyond your competence level.

Date validation, given Y. M, D as numbers or strings, requires two lines
of code. Not two pages.

A function to validate a string containing a date in numeric form, and
to return a Date Object or undefined, can be done in five lines.

Get yourself a proper news service, and proper standards-compliant
software to access it.

Do you realize that you are not posting to a webiste forum when you use this
site. They are passing your posts on to the usenet newsgroup
comp.lang.javascript

comp.lang.javascript is a publicly available newsgroup. The website you are
using is stealing its content directly from there and pretending that it is
their own. There is no original material at all on the website you are
looking at now. It is all coming directly from usenet.

I suggest you obtain a newsreader and visit us at
ews:comp.lang.javascript - you
will get a far better reaction to your question there.

Cheers
Richard.

Dr John, these people are not aware the are posting to a newsgroup. Please
visit the offending web site mentioned in their sig. They think they are
posting to a private forum. See also my other post to this thread.

Dr John, these people are not aware the are posting to a newsgroup.


That is their problem, not mine; I am sufficiently aware of the
situation. They are responsible for their own actions, which includes
their choice of service; and they must expect to receive appropriate
treatment. If they do not like that, they should complain to the owner
of the site that they use, for attempting unsuccessfully to deceive
them.

The owners of forum4designers indeed should have subscribed to the
newsgroup, read the FAQ, and asked for overwhelming consent - which
would, I trust, not have been granted - before doing what they have
done. And they should recommend strongly that their users, who can be
presumed to be naive, should read a group for a while, and seek its FAQ,
before writing to it.

I don't see why they need consent. Usenet is not restricted to access
with a newsreader, and there are other web interfaces to other
newsgroups that work fine.

They should ofcourse be exepected to understand the medium and make an
effort to inform their users of what they are really accessing. If
they did so, we would just have to correct the occasional clueless who
don't read warnings anyway.

(This is how it works with the web-access to Danish web groups at the
html.dk web site - they did catch some flak until they made it more
visible that it was newsgroups, but now it's not a problem).

Now, if they *don't* make an effort to cooperate, the newsgroup will
just do as it usually does: police itself. That includes speaking ill
about their web site at every chance :)

<snip>

That is really the crux of the matter. forum4designers.com seem to be
actively trying to give the impression that the "forums" that they make
available are a service that they provide instead of an (inappropriately
formatted) reproduction of comp.lang.javascript discussions (along with
numerous other news groups).

It is the misrepresentation that is objected to not the web based
access. That is available at many sites including groups.google.com and
they are not that difficult to find. Try doing a web search from you
name on google, I get 10 pages of results mostly sites providing web
access to (or reporting of) comp.lang.javascript. The majority make no
pretence about the nature or origin of their content, for example:-

http://www.developersdex.com
http://www.mainframeforum.com

OTOH searching form my name turned up:-

http://www.tutorgig.com/

-who appear to be just a guilty of misrepresenting Usenet as their own
work as forum4designers.com (and similarities in presentation suggest
are using exactly the same software).

Good manners, at the very least; to enquire whether they would be
welcome, and what they should do to make that welcome less grudging
and/or more enthusiastic.
Usenet is not restricted to access
with a newsreader, and there are other web interfaces to other
newsgroups that work fine.
Those too should have asked; Usenet and newsreaders were designed for
each other, and an alien form of access does not necessarily fit well.
The only one I am familiar with is Google, which I believe to be both
honest and competent, and to provide additional services to the whole
Net community. But, in archiving permanently what was designed as an
ephemeral medium, they too are at fault.

They should ofcourse be exepected to understand the medium and make an
effort to inform their users of what they are really accessing. If
they did so, we would just have to correct the occasional clueless who
don't read warnings anyway.

(This is how it works with the web-access to Danish web groups at the

And of the naiveté of there users, on occasions where this is shown.

ISTM that FAQ S.3.2 could have a sentence recommending the use of a
well-written newsreader, and linking to a page that says more. It might
give examples of good newsreaders and of good Web interfaces, and refer
to the foibles and failings of some systems.
