Calendar

Not quite ready yet: dates from the previous month missing, and it's also in
darn need for cosmetic improvement. But the latter is CSS.
The buttons work alright, but I'd like to replace them with images. I tested
it with the arrow image, which performs the same action as the "today"
button. In Firefox the button switches smoothly between months, but when I
click the image the div first goes blank before it is rewritten. This
doesn't happen in IE.
Can I make the image link work exactly like the button? (Please don't tell
me to switch back to IE!)
TIA

I believe the FAQ cautions against using the "javascript :" pseudo-protocol.
Change your link to the following:

<a href="#" onclick="GetNow (); ChD(0); UpD(); DropCal();retur n false"><img
src="cal_files/arrow-s.gif"></a>

I'm a bit confused here: the OnClick actions are Javascript functions,
right?
Anyway, it solved my problem, thanks.

Yes, but that's not the same as using the javascript: pseudo-protocol as you
were doing:

<a href="javascrip t:GetNow(); ..."

The primary purpose of a link is to load new content in the page (hence the
flash) and the javascript: flavor is intended to replace the current page
content with the *value* returned by the javascript expression.

By moving the javascript into the onclick handler and having that handler return
false, you cancel the "load new content" action, avoiding the flash.
