using microsoft clock to link calendar?

A

ATV

I have a website with a link to a custome calendar (within the site). Is
there a way automate or to use the microsoft clock to link to the correct
month's calendar? Or do I need to manually change the link on the first of
each month? (eg., CALENDAR LINK goes to "september05.htm" on first of
September instead of continuing on "august05.htm")

Actually there is a way but not with the clock that is displayed in the task
tray. At least not until Microsoft Vista is released and at the moment few
if any know what elements of the new OS Microsoft will expose to developers.

For now, your only choice is to use DHTML noting DHTML (and AJAX) is the way
Microsoft Vista will be integrated with our websites. We know that much
(those of us not asleep at the wheel) but collectively, we do not how enough
about the actual implementation yet.

For now I recommend Konfabulator [1] as it is cross-platform PC and Mac but
requires a skilled developer to make it happen. The developers of
Konfabulator got it so right that Yahoo recently acquired them and
remarkeably is refunding the $20 paid by former customers announcing that
Konfabulator will be available at no cost. No direct cost that is ;-)

What a fun place to visit (www.konfabulator.com). I poked around in there
for a while. Then put "calendar" in the search and wasn't able to find
anything that sounded like it would do what I need. I saw some calendars
that do what I'm looking for but I need to use my existing calendar(s). I'm
probably not computer literate enough to know what I'm looking for. Help!? :)

I didn't get the point across. What you want to do is not currently
possible.

I read your question again. Calendars used in webpages can often be
programmed to stay current. That would usually require using JavaScript.
That would keep the current month displayed without trying to integrate with
the desktop.
