Advanced: Setting the Drop Shadow and Other Effects
Introduction
In this tutorial we will explain how to set the Drop Shadow and Other Advanced effects of the Calendar.
How to do it
1. Define your site in Dreamweaver and
Create a new page
Define your site in Dreamweaver and choose the
option to create a new page. You can read more about this at this page.
2. Setting the Drop Shadow effect
Take a look at the Advanced Tab.
By checking the Drop Shadow effect, we enable the shadow of our Calendar
which we can customize as well.
We can set its distance from the Calendar by changing the values in Left and
Top. Choosing negative integers will move the shadow to the left and top while
choosing positive will move it to the right and bottom. We choose 5 for both.
We set the Opacity of our shadow to 30% and leave the Blur to 1. The Blur gives a nice soft look to the shadow.
Note that when you have more than one month displayed (as in our case), setting
the Blur to a higher integer than 1 might overload your browser.
3. The Other options in the Advanced tab
include Display inline and Date range selection.
Display inline puts the Calendar on your page and makes it static. It
disables the Animation tab completely as there is no movement here. We leave
this option unchecked.
Date range selection allows you to highlight a range of dates by first
clicking on the starting date and then selecting the ending date. We check this
option.
- Select the settings of your calendar and
press OK. If you don't know how to do that read The Basics chapters. Your
table should now look like this:
- Go to Server behaviors and Insert Record.
You should already have a created database for this tutorial. Set the
values for each of your columns, including the Calendar.
- Save your work and upload it. The end
result should look like this.
- To set a date when using the inline calendar you have to create a hidden field, and connect it to the calendar with the behavior connector (in the Property Inspector). If you don't know how to do that, read "Case: Attaching Behaviors to the Calendar".
