The only one I know of that may do is form this link but is uses a database to work. Maybe someone here may know more. http://scripts.ocean12tech.com/ - http://scripts.ocean12tech.com/

I'm going to go with Bolt on this. Go for a database approach. You DON'T want to get into programming against text files if you are doing web development. That would be better left to the C programmers. (Well, other languages can do the same, but C is just well known...) Data access against text files is slow. VERY SLOW. Databases are meant for fast access to information. You cannot program in a web language for speed. Web languages are slow. For a commercial application, you need something more. It can be done on the web, but not in a 'web language'.

But you could do it in ASP.NET with DLLs doing the major work for you. ------------- http://renegademinds.com/" rel="nofollow - Renegade Minds - Guitar Software http://renegademinds.com/Default.aspx?tabid=65" rel="nofollow - Slow Down Music |

I like the idea of a simple database approach - thanks guys someone also suggested Flash with each day having 2 states, apparently it would read from a text file and change the colour - not bad if you know flash.
Any other suggestion or ready made scripts still welcome |

You have hit it on the nail, a data base is your best option. I have done automated sites using text files to update them but this slows things down. The download link I have provided gives you a free calendar download. It may not be the best but its not bad. Go to this link to see what it looks like. http://www.kindways.co.uk/asp/POF/LMYT/calinder/default.asp - http://www.kindways.co.uk/asp/POF/LMYT/calinder/default.asp It’s part of one of my sits. ------------- BoLt (Computer Engineer) I suffer from Dyslexia, it means I can not spell to well not that I am thick. www.welshlens.co.uk |
