Javascript Calendar

Question

Hi all,

I am looking for a Javascript calendar with support for drag-and-drop, extensive events model (drag, drop, deletion/adding of items).

Also has to be capable of displaying a schedule for multiple persons. That'd be something similar to "Multiple Resources" view of http://dhtmlx.com/docs/products/dhtmlxScheduler/index.shtml

Free/paid does not matter. Has to work across major browsers.

Thanks!

Answer 1

I'm not sure whether it can do multiple schedules out of the box, but check out the JQuery based FullCalendar.

Answer 2

For scheduling multiple resources I'd recommend the Ext Scheduler, it's built entirely in JavaScript. In the examples section you'll find lots of demos showing its different features.

Answer 3

As it turned out, writing my own calendar, based on jQuery's draggable/droppable UI component is not that hard, and is way more flexible and extensible. There are some WTFs along the way, mostly to do with weird behaviour of dragging/dropping in IE(7/8) and some weirdness around snap to grid behaviour in jQuery UI's draggable, but I think it would take longer if I just took an existing control and tried to customise it.
