Why is it scripting needed to display a calendar?
Most obviously: (OK. I do know that there is a timed reload instruction
in HTML, that I malevolently ignore in this post, but it would be a PITA
to use same in a more complex example, as it would reload everything
instead of updating e.g. just a single number, as often needed in a RIA
GUI.)
You keep the Browser Window open and at midnight the sheet for the new
day should automatically be displayed.
HTTP/HTML can't do that, It's strictly unidirectional request->answer.
(Which in fact is completely silly, but we need to live with that).
So Java script can do the necessary polling.
