Summary: Calendar enhancement: display of events

Initial Comment:
Description
-----------
This enhancement causes the calendar to display 
prominent days (such as holidays) in a separate style.
When the mouse hovers over the date, a popup tooltip 
describing the event is shown.


Customisable options
--------------------
** Display style
The display style may be configured using the 
following variables:
 - caleventdaystyle
 - caleventdaybackground
 - caleventdaytext
(the following styles apply for days that happen to be 
today AND an event day)
 - caltodayeventstyle
 - caltodayeventbackground
 - caltodayeventtext

The default implementation displays the day in red 
text with a usual (eg menu color for normal day and 
window color for Today) background.

** List of events
The list of events is defined in a separate file in 
XML format, and is referenced by the 
variable "eventsfileurl". 
Note that an event may be defined as one time only or 
recurring.
I've currently included a list of public holidays for 
the country Singapore (holidays.sg.xml). I will need 
help in preparing the list for the other countries as 
I'm not familiar with them.

The default option is OFF. (ie eventsfileurl is null)


Files affected
--------------
calendar.js
search.htm
search.nsi
holidays.sg.xml (new)

Files have been checked into CVS on 2002-1-15 06:20.


TODOs
-----
- add listing of public holidays in other countries
- add ability to define personal events
- add ability to distinguish b/w different kind of 
events
- add ability to input (persistent) events directly 
from search box


Issues
------
(1) Public Holidays. Some holidays do not occur on the 
same day and month of each year but requires certain 
logic to compute them (eg Good Friday). Some are even 
dependent on the occurence of natural phenomenon. To 
address such holidays, the current approach is to 
specify the dates individually for each year. This, 
however, leads to the issue of updates. Until such 
times when this component can auto-magically updates 
itself, the user will have to be responsible for 
updating his own local copy.
