    Tables have only been introduced into Xara software V15 LGF. I can't say if it's in P&LD 15 but it won't be in P&LD 11.

    Thanks Egg - there's a P&LD 15?

    Can I use this calendar to change to 2019 (the calendar2018.xar) ? Then I should update each day number manually ?

    Yes. That was the purpose of the design to be universal, unlike Xara's, now defunct, attempts. Each Month page has a locked Layer, named Month.
    unlock that and change the Month and Year to any month in the same format.
    The text has a Name, theMonth, that is then parsed to calculate the start day of each first of the month.
    The index > instructions Layer should cover the rest.

    Ok, thanks a lot. One thing that is not clear to me is: how to integrate this calendar into an existing xara design. I guess I should copy all the (13) pages to my existing design. But what (main) page one should then link to in order to publish the calendar as a whole ?

    Apologies for the delay in replying. I was working with a client.

    If you want to incorporate the calendar into an existing design then I would change the index page to calendar.

    This particular page has Page Head code of:
    Code:
    <script>var d = new Date();
    var months = ["jan.htm","feb.htm","mar.htm","apr.htm","may.htm","jun.htm","jul.htm","aug.htm","sep.htm","oct.htm","nov.htm","dec.htm"];
    window.location.href=months[d.getMonth()];
    </script>
    This forces the calendar page to jump to the current month.

    I think what you probably want to do is place the calendar page in an IFRAME so that the current month is then always initially shown.

    If you just want a complete calendar that is day-month correct for the changed year then just use the jan-dec pages separately, discarding the calendar page altogether.

    I added the code above directly into a text link to jump to the current month, as another method.

    Good Thursday Mr. Acorn,

    No apology needed sir. I'm sure you have many other things to do besides helping those of us struggling here. I've learned a lot but I am still technically challenged . Some of the language you use to describe what you've done with your calendar is beyond me, but I will move forward and if I have a question I will get back to you. Do I need to copy & paste what you've provided here and will that be enough?

    As I stated earlier, my use for a calendar will be for posting student class information and/or changes to class schedules. And, I wanted a calendar that would permit me to be able to put enough info into each daily block. Again sir, thank you for responding so quickly and I will be back in touch if I have questions or can't get your development to work for me.

    bob
