----------------------------------------
Hi Adrian,
You wrote "Regarding using color names in the CSS: in other css files I have
made a list at the top of the css file that shows the colors used and their hex
values. ". Sorry, I did not find them, could you please indicate which files ?
I was just re-reading that thread
http://www.nabble.com/New-javascript-calendar-%28dojo%29-td11816555.html. But
until now I missed this link :
http://code.google.com/p/calendardateselect/wiki/HowToLocalize. It seems to me
that it would be enough (notably using/enhancing technique exposed in last
comment). What do you guys think ? There will still be a point missing, but
should not be to hard to code : 24hours. I think there will be no pb with time
zone since it"s only local to the client but I'm maybe overlooking something
here (no more time to search and think...)
In OFBiz I found MonthlyCalendar.js/css/html and while browsing around I found
also this one
http://shaneosullivan.wordpress.com/2008/03/24/sexy-new-calendar-widget-for-dojo/
but it's missing a time selection.

> I tried to change the calendar colors, to be more "in the OFBiz way". Please
> let me you know what you think.
> I also changed some colors to respect our CSS best practices (no color names).
> Here are some remarks :
> Colors
> * I kept the 3 chars scheme when it's was obvious. For instance we don't
> need to set #000000 or #ffffff when actually #000 or #fff is sufficient.
> * I used Wikipedia as reference http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_colors for
> choising colors. While doing this change I wondered if we could not authorise
> and even recommend to use sandard names for colors as shown in Wikipedia
> page. I found it easier to recall a color by its names than by an hexa
> number...! As long as we would use this Wikipedia reference I think it could
> be possible to use names instead of hexa, WDYT ?
> * The days initials are not centered but at left (It's late and I did not
> found the reason)
> We need to provide a localisation mean. From
> http://electronicholas.com/calendar?style=default&format=natural it should
> not be too hard. I propose a simple way, maybe we can do better
> * More calendar formats in a calendar.properties file (like the euro or
> american ones)
> * For the moment I think all string are harcoded in calendar_date_select.js
> Date.weekdays = $w("S M T W T F S");
> Date.first_day_of_week = 0;
> Date.months = $w("January February March April May June July August
> September October November December" );
> _translations = {
> "OK": "OK",
> "Now": "Now",
> "Today": "Today"
> }
> A very simple way (but not very clever I must admit) could be to set a
> property for the language to use in calendar.properties file and use it in a
> switch statement with "hardcoded" strings in calendar_date_select.js. Is
> anybody aware of better ways to do that in Javascript or Prototype ?
> BTW I think we should delete calendarstyles.css and calendarTable.css. If
> it's ok, I will do it when I will upate the attached patch later.
