Hey, Experts! My client wants a calendar on the site I'm building for them. It will have community events and so forth.

What is the best way to create a calendar for a website that is easy to update?

Thank you so much for your suggestions!

Suggestion? Try using a server-side language like CGI, PHP, or ASP.

Alas, I'm not much of a programmer. Can you give me a bit of direction? I did a search on "calendar" on the forums and it sort of looked to me like I'd be using a database. Is this something a sort of idiot can do?

No way. Making a calendar can be done with JavaScript, but way hard, and not worth the trouble. That's why I suggest you to use a server side language. And yes, you will need to use a database.

You might want to look through the calendars here http://javascript.internet.com/calendars/

I have looked at the calendars there. I went and looked again. I like the one that is called the cookie calendar... just a regular looking calendar. But I can't have a calendar that lets people put their own events, I just need one that lets me put events.

I'm sorry I'm so ignorant. Can I make this one work for me?

Thank you!

I'm sure it could be, but it would take quite some work, I imagine. You would also need some sort of server side language (to write to either a database or a flatfile).
