"or the third Monday of October" Unfortunately I dont have the witango documentation handy where I am at but I once wrote a calendar in witango that showed holidays and it really wasn't that difficult at all.
If you look at the date format functions there are lots of useful outputs such as being able to have witango tell you what day of the week a certain date is. How i would find the third monday of october is i would see what day of the week october 1st, 2007 (or whatever year you were looking for) was on.
From there it's as simple as adding a certain number of days to oct 1 2007.
For instance if the oct 1 was a tuesday, the third monday would be 20 days after. If oct 1 was a friday, the third monday would be 17 days after. On 1/31/07, Anthony M. Humphreys <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Unfortunately, Witango's own built-in methods for manipulating dates and times are really quite limited. Try writing native Witango code to calculate Easter, or the third Monday of October, or many other dates of observance or Holidays. Humph. Fortunately, Witango can execute JavaScript code. However, JavaScript's code is not much better than Witango's for this sort of stuff. But I do happen to have a set of JavaScript Routines that you can use for doing date/time calculations of various kinds. These routines are ported from the "Standard C Date/Time Library" by Lance Latham. And they happen to be happen to be especially good for finding dates of observance (Holidays). Examples of these in use can be found at http://humphreys.org/js/scdtl/test/ I've attached the zip, but you can also download these individually from http://humphreys.org/js/scdtl/ These will client side or in Witango in the Script action,or within a <@SCRIPT> block. These are for the Witango community to use at it sees fit.
