I'm a total noob at ASP and just about everything web-coding related besides HTML. I'm looking to make a calander, like this (http://www.wyoarea.k12.pa.us/calendar.asp), but don't know any ASP, and wouldn't even know how to begin. I have Dreamweaver MX and I know you can create ASP files with it. Thanks for any help.

I've done a calendar from scratch but they are tricky.

One concept that helped me was to make a table with the numbers 1 all the way up to 366 which is the most days that could be shown at once (i.e. all the days in all the months of a leap year).

And I LEFT JOINED the needed days (such as all the days for a particular month) from that numbers table somehow with a data table with fields such as CalendarDate, CalendarEntry.

And you may want to do some searching at the following:

Yep, they are very tricky.

Here, download mine for reference: http://www.andrewbuntine.com/software/calendar/ext/try.php

It is written in ASP and has a whole bunch of pretty cool features. It runs off a cool little XML framework I developed.

Oddly enough, this is mostly how I learned HTML, by looking at other people's code. That and doing an internet tutorial and printing it out for reference. The ASP looks reminicent of VB what with the Calls and Dims and If Else statements, not that I'm any good at VB either. Thanks alot, I think I'll use this to learn more about ASP.

Yes, VBScript which is the main thing used in ASP is sort of a scaled down version of VB.

Ok, I uploaded the whole calendar folder to my website, but it just shows me the file index, and when i click on index.asp, i get just the text of the file. I know I'm not doing this right because I'm very new at this. Can anyone help me? http://www.ahaeuser.com/ed/calendar/

This is happening because your server does not support ASP. You may want to contact your Web Host.

Are they running a Windows Server?
