Primoris Software is pleased to announce the latest update to DateClick, the web-based JavaScript date selection calendar. This update addresses some bug-fixes as well as adds some new features.

This update adds the following functionality to DateClick:

* The CSS file has been updated with a new class, 'today' that allows you to add a custom style for "today's" date. Additionally, every class in the CSS file now has an extended description in the comments so it is much easier to edit.

* Positioning the popup calendar is now easier and more flexible than ever before. X and Y parameters have been added to the configuration string that allow you to offset the placement of the calendar from its default position on the page. Setting X:25, for example, moves the calendar 25 pixels to the right, and -25 moves it 25 pixels to the left.

* There is another new configuration parameter POSITION. The default behavior for this parameter is still to show the calendar at the point of the mouse click. Setting this to 1, however, tries to place the calendar where the DateClick icon resides on the screen, and setting it to 2 defaults the position to the top left of the screen. Of course, the new X and Y parameters offset these new positions, so you have total control over where the calendar is displayed.

A minor update to DateClick has been released to address some issues with page rendering in FireFox with certain DocTypes and default dates on some systems.

An update to DateClick is now available with three new powerful configuration options.
* STATIC: Setting STATIC to 1 sets DateClick into "Flat" mode--that is it's always visible rather than being popped up by clicking the icon.
* TOOLTIP: Set the default tool tip text to display while the mouse arrow hovers over the DateClick icon.
* FUNCTION: The FIELD parameter is now no longer required, as you can pass a callback function to handle the selected date. To use FUNCTION, pass the name of your custom function in this argument, and create a function in the script block of your page with the same name that accepts the clicked date as a Date type argument. You can then perform any processes on this date as necessary. You can either leave off the FIELD parameter, or include it and pass the date to both the field and the function.

A new minor update has been released that includes more intelligent popup positioning, some date format fixes, and more compatibility.

All versions of DateClick have been updated with some stability enhancements for older browsers and new features!

The new DateClick includes two new configuration parameters. The first, INVALID, allows you to indicate that days in the past up to or including the current day can not be selected. The second, MASK, allows you to more precisely state how you want the date to be returned. This uses a format string that you define and can handle long date formats (e.g. January 1, 2005) and many others.

In addition to improvements in browser support, DateClick's internal date handling mechanism has been improved to better support other languages and formats. DateClick is available for download from the usual sources. Registered users, continue to use the links from your e-mail receipt.

A major upgrade to DateClick has been released today. The new release includes some significant new features.

The most radical improvement deals with how drop down selection box rendering has been changed. Previously DateClick's answer to the well-known IE5+ method of placing select boxes above all other web page elements was to hide all list boxes on the page when the popup DHTML calendar was shown. This is the most common method for getting around the display issue. We have worked hard to find a better way--and now DateClick uses clever new DHTML technology to make the calendar appear to be above all other elements--including drop down boxes in Internet Explorer. This makes the HIDELISTBOXES option obsolete.

In addition a new theme, Bluesteel, is now included with the paid versions of DateClick, and more themes will be added soon. Licensed users can get the update now for free!

DateClick has now been released with many new features! Now the Standard edition can be rendered in any language! In Professional and Developer, the calendar can now be moved by dragging, select boxes can now be hidden, the calendar is much more flexible, and there are many more improvements.
