Thanks Nils, I will contact you should I ever need to calculate Easter
dates. Actually my calendar is being calculated on the server using
PHP script. One can also do the same on the computer using javascript,
but this has the disadvantage that much more has to be downloaded from
the server and some people turn off javascript on their computer
browser. By making the calculations on the server using PHP script,
only the finished calendar for a single year has to be downloaded
after the year is typed into the form box and sent to the server.
Usually I can convert javascript on the browser to PHP code to work on
the server. A man in the UK who sometimes posts at alt.comp.javascript
has methods using javascript for calculating many dates based on lunar
cycles and other standards. He uses these for calculation of old UK
church dates of and such.
