Just a quick note abut Ian's destroycalendar function. I have removed this from the closecalendar call that is made when a user shuts the calendar. destroycalendar blows away all the observed events (as billed) but closecalendar (the private version of closeCalendar) is suppose to hide the calendar rather that blow it away. The idea was that open and closecalendar would be used to control visibility. Anyway, this raises several design issues. 1. Shouldn't there be a hidecalendar? Perhaps. 2. Wouldn't it be better to have the js explicitly call destroycalendar when the programmer decides it is time to bid farewell? I'm more in favor of this, personally. Hi folks.

Modifying the header for the calendar so that you can zip through months (or years) quickly is definitely on the list. I had a lot of fun testing the rollover between year - click, click, click. Kept saying to myself that I needed to add that in. I would also like to make a few mods so that you could easily do multiple month listings at a time (ala the mini-months in iCal). I just received a big batch of changes related to prototype 1.6 that have improved performance (again). I'll be posting those later. Great question, Jon.

If I need to choose December 2009 and the calendar is set to OCtober 2007 - that's a lot of clicks to get where I need to go ...just a suggestion, of course. Great work thus far :) I’m curious – is there a plan to provide some sort of “year” picker as part of your upcoming features?
