Calendar

[gtgren]

I need to create a calendar of events for a city webpage, what is the best third party tool I should use for that? Should I use another method?

Google "html calendar". There are tons of html calendar builders, lots of which are even free. Some are online - you enter events into a grid, and some are packages you download. They all define the look-and-feel to some degree.

I would also search "event calendar" and see how others have implemented their calendars.

I have developed several, from using a basic table list of dates to using JS and CSS to display fancy ones. I usually wind up doing the work manually though. It's not much more work than using a package - you still have to type in all the event data anyway, and I get them to look the way I want.

You can check

http://expinion.net

They have a great Calendar Application.
Check the application. Gives a demo so you can understand it.
I use it on many of the websites I manage. Got a pretty powerful admin section. Of course you may have to modify the template a bit to suit ur requirements.

Good luck

- I did like the

but I have a Linux server. Thanks for the help!

Better yet... search sourceforge.net... Opensource, free (as in speech, and typically as in beer) solutions to just about any problem.
