Browser Compatibility Modifications for a Web Page Calendar - Conclusion
(Page 4 of 4 )
The width of this table is fixed at 670px. Make sure you have your own width fixed in your project; otherwise some browsers will not display the table properly. Note: if you are designing something (layout) that is straightforward, all browsers will display it reasonably. However, if you are doing something like our design in this series, you have to make sure it works with popular browsers. So you will have to deviate from the obvious use of the rules in the specification.
The complete code of the project for Internet Explorer can be taken from here:
< -- calendarIE.zip -- >
The complete code of the project for Netscape and Mozilla Firefox can be taken from here:
< -- calendarOthers.zip -- >
The code we developed in this part of the series works very well with Internet Explorer. It also works very well with Mozilla Firefox. It works with Netscape, but the months are displayed slowly. It should work with other browsers.
Interesting Test
You can download either set of the complete code above and perform the following simple test. None of us will be alive by the year 9999. This is just one year before the year 10,000. The year 9999 is about 8000 years from now. However, thanks to JavaScript, we can know today that the first day of this year will be a Friday.
Download either set of the complete code above, depending on your browser. Open the web page. Click the Show any Year’s Calendar button. The prompt box should appear. Type in the year 9999. After a short while you should see the calendar of that year.
If the festival days we respect today will still be respected by that year, then today you can know the days of the week on which these festivals will fall. Festivals that come to my mind are days like the Independence Day of your country and Teachers’ Day.
We have come to the end of this series. I hope you appreciated it.
