I'm looking for a pretty simple layout code for events in a game--I have an idea of what I want but not the coding skills to make it happen :/ I would love something centered around a fairly large calendar (say 600px) and the use of div tags with hidden overflow, so you can click on a date and the calendar will change to just be a view of that date and the events that happen then (John Smith's birthday, Victory Day, etc etc etc), and then you could click "back to calendar" and it would take you back to the calendar view (aka like this cast list, sort of). If anyone has anything like that or could point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it!

Before I overwork my brain because this isn't that bad, but I'm probably over-complicating it: Would you just want to view one month or would you want an overall year calendar that linked to each month that then link to a daily itinerary?

Depending on how much information you're going to be adding per month... It might get too big to have more than one month in a post at a time.

	For example, I'm using tessisamess's code here for a drabble table that you can click through or go back to the main selection area: http://www.scribbld.com/users/kickawesome/99715.html#home (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I was thinking just one month at a time, then at the end of each month I'd archive the month's events somewhere else in plaintext and update the code with the next month's. (Reply to this) (Parent)

Keeping the above poster's questions in mind, it wouldn't be that hard I don't think to edit that cast table code of Quibbler's into the exact thing you're thinking of.

You'd basically change the area in the code that holds the icons into an area that puts the Calendar dates in, yeah?

But

wastintime is right, if you're going a whole year in one post, you're likely to hit the post limit before you get the entire thing in. It really depends on how much info you're looking to display.
