The <dotj:calendar> tag is a new dotJ tag in Version 2.7. The tag operates in fixed or
popup mode. With fixed mode (see Figure 1), the calendar diplays as normal HTML within the page. You can
navigate month to month and the calendar can also display user-defined events. These events display on the calendar
and allow for a description and hyperlink where the full event details can be displayed.
The calendar can also be operated in popup mode (see Figure 2). This mode is useful for allowing users to type in or
select a date into an HTML form. For newer browsers, the calendar displays as a popup within the page using DHTML
and also allows them to navigate month to month. For older browsers, the tag degrades gracefully and provides
standard HTML select fields instead (see Figure 3). As a JSP developer, you never need to worry!
