This file contains a sample for Calendar taglib. Here we are demonstrating the intensive usage for setDateBody tag. This tag lets you describe your own HTML code for calendar's cells. For example:

<%@ taglib uri="taglib.tld" prefix="cal" %>

<!-- style for our cells -->
<style>
.test
{
color:white;
background:gray;
width:150px;
height:85px;
}
</style>

<cal:Calendar month="07" year="2002" header="true" locale="<%=java.util.Locale.ENGLISH%>">

<!-- use the above described style -->
<cal:setDateClass>test</cal:setDateClass>

<!-- body for all our cells. D is a current day -->
<cal:setDateBody>
  <table width="100%" border="1" class="test">
   <tr>
    <table border="0">
     <tr><td align="right" valign="top"><%=D%></td></tr>
    </table>
   </td></tr>
  </table>
</cal:setDateBody>

<!-- now we have something special for day 5 -->
<cal:setDateBody day="5">
  <table width="100%" border="1" class="test">
   <tr>
    <table border="0">
     <tr><td align="right" valign="top"><%=D%></td></tr>
     <tr><td><font color="red">HRMC/PBCH ED</td></tr>
    </table>
   </td></tr>
  </table>
</cal:setDateBody>


<!-- and one remark for 26-th as well -->
<cal:setDateBody day="26">
  <table width="100%" border="1" class="test">
   <tr>
    <table border="0">
     <tr><td align="right" valign="top"><%=D%></td></tr>
     <tr><td><font color="green">Joseph Robert covering</td></tr>
    </table>
   </td></tr>
  </table>
</cal:setDateBody>

</cal:Calendar>

and you will get some like this:

	Jul 2002
Mon	Tue	Wed	Thu	Fri	Sat	Sun
1	2	3	4	5 HRMC/PBCH ED	6	7
8	9	10	11	12	13	14
15	16	17	18	19	20	21
22	23	24	25	26 Joseph Robert covering	27	28
29	30	31
