Xin Calendar 2 Example: Static calendar

The In-Page version supports popup calendar and static calendar. Static calendars will stay visible once shown. We can use [ null ] for both date fields in the showCalendar() call if we don't want to associate a static calendar to some input fields.

Usually we set up the showCalendar() calls for static calendars with the BODY onload event:

<body onload="showCalendar('', null, null, '', 'holder', 10, 30, 0)">

or we can put it this way when we don't want to touch the BODY tag:

<script language="javascript">
function showStaticCalendar() {
  showCalendar('', null, null, '', 'holder', 10, 30, 0);
}

window.onload=showStaticCalendar;
</script>

The only difference in calling a popup calendar and a static calendar is just the last parameter in the showCalendar() call, use 1 to get a popup calendar and use 0 (zero) to get a static one. Of course, though we can we don't usually position a static calendar with mouse clicks.

We can have more than one static calendar in the page, the [ xcMultiCalendar ] setting in the config file would only apply to popup calendars. In the example, the first calendar has a default date of 2004-07-01.
