Default Slight addition to FAQ on web page

I have added a link to a 60000 year calendar I programmed in PHP at
the bottom of the Table of Contents just below Feedback. This might be
of some use to those interested in birthday date wines and other
important event wines in their life. For instance, it is easy to bring
up a calendar for the year of the event of interest and see on what
day of the week the event happened. Since this is just a link to a
page on one of my domains, it does not increase the load time for the
Faqs site. If this link causes problems, I can easily take it out. In
case you wonder, the dates in red are official US holidays. Some of
these of course will be different in other countries, but it would not
be practical to show official holiday dates in red for many
countries. It was difficult enough to calculate some of the official
US holiday dates. Fortunately Easter is not an official US holiday,
because the date for it depends on cycles of the moon.

FYI
You can calculate the Easter dates. On a computer, it takes no time at all.
Let me know if you are interested.
Cheers
Nils

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.

I selected 2007 and there are some dates that are red. But correct me if
this is my issue...but you cannot note what the red dates are for? When I
hold my mouse over them it does not say, labor day or memorial day etc.

Is that correct?

Yes, this is the way the program responds. I could add a description
of what the holiday is at some time in the future. However the red
color does serve the purpose of letting you know you will not receive
mail and that many federal, state, and private offices will be closed
on an official holiday. It might be good to add some text in the text
field to the right of the calendar to explain what the red color of a
date means, and this likely will be done soon. The holidays are
labeled in their calculation code, but since the program is in PHP on
the server, a viewer of the page can not view this PHP source code.
