Dynamic Calender / Schedule page - need help

I started a thread under JavaScript, but am thinking now that XML may be a better solution (as Javascript cannot do what I want...)

I would like to set up a calendar style display of the current month which is dynamically generated to always be kept current. That in itself is no hard task, but the next step I am having trouble figuring out how to do - I am wanting to have a separate admin style page of the calender in which those who have access to the page can add notes to a specific date, and allow those notes to be displayed to all on the regular calendar.

Basically, two linked calenders, one which allows anyone viewing it to click a date and type in a comment which is added to that date's cell in the table. The second is display-only, but updates itself to display any such comments which are added (this can be as simple as updating when it is first loaded; it does not have to update on a constant basis).

I know I could pull this off with server side languages, but I am hoping I can also do it with just XML.

Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to provide!

the original thread is at: http://www.codingforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1079 but I don't know that there would be any more info for you there.

Since you need to store comments on the server you do need server side scripting to accomplish the task. If you are using ASP for server side, I have a very similar script I can customize for you.
