The problem appear when the month to be shown croses a daylight saving change. The range generation which builds the month does not take into account the change in DST and so it never arrives to the upper date
In order to correct this I have to modify the succ() function in the Date object (inside scal.js). Here is the correct code (can be added at the end of scal.js):


Object.extend(Date.prototype, {
succ: function(){
var sd = new Date(0);
sd.setUTCFullYear(this.getUTCFullYear(),this.getUTCMonth(),this.getUTCDate()+1);
sd.setUTCHours(this.getUTCHours(),this.getUTCMinutes(),this.getUTCSeconds(),this.getUTCMilliseconds());
return sd;
}
});


Well, replace the code:

succ: function(){
var sd = new Date(this.getFullYear(),this.getMonth(),this.getDate()+1, 1);
sd.setHours(this.getHours(),this.getMinutes(),this.getSeconds(),this.getMilliseconds());
return sd;
},

and now everything is ok.

thanks.

Well, I try on IE and Firefo 3, with scal-demo link and crash..
I´m using Prototype 1.6.0.2 and scal 0.2.

Thanks for great code.

Marcelo,

Hi,

I was getting the same problem from Rafael Bandeira.

To make it works, just do it:

On line 12:

succ: function(){
var sd = new Date(this.getFullYear(),this.getMonth(),this.getDate()+1, 1);
sd.setHours(this.getHours(),this.getMinutes(),this.getSeconds(),this.getMilliseconds());
return sd;
},

On October, 12. Javascript not accept´s midnight.
So I just added one hour and it works.

I lost about 3 hours debugging the calendar on Visual Studio 2008.

hey Jamie,
I think you were wrong, i'm tired of trying it out on diferent machines...

ie7,ie6,ff2,ff3 all of them crashed in all the machines, with diferent sets, hardwares, os (xp and vista)...

it goes to september fine, even on past year or in the current year... but when bumped to october, 'darn', the browse crashes on a infinit loop just as the ones I shoted the other day. It happens with online projects, local projects and hereby demos...

strange?... I wish i got some more time to get the code and figure it out as help... but no even for the report I got the time til now...

:/

cheers

you know i'm getting this terrible message:
Access denied
You are not authorized to access this page.

everytime i access : http://scal.fieldguidetoprogrammers.com/

and some other child pages... had to keep the bug-report forum as my scal favs root

Thanks for posting the screenshots, Rafael!

The problem shows up even when using scal on this site too? Well, I know we are using the right setup for prototype so we can eliminate that as the problem.

Since you replicated the problem with multiple browsers, it seems like there must be something outside the browser causing the problem. Do you run any malware/spyware detection software? What virus scanner do you use, and what options are turned on?

there are the screenshots.... there's also a shot form the firebug console when prompted to debug the error, but I'm not sure it's somehow expressive...

k, regards, waiting on you analysis now! :P

ps.. oh the boxes are in pt-br cuz i'm brazilian... (okdok)

Hey, sorry for the delayed response...

hum... it still messes up with me... just got a screenshot, on "october 2008", it just crashes and Firefox asks for script debugging or stop it at all, the same result is repeated on IE's.

I'm using Prototype={Version:"1.6.0" compressed, but it was bugging me when I used the uncompressed version too...

Funny though you are not having th same problem. I'll be back soon with a flickr link of the screenshot.
til there, thanks for the real good piece of code!

Hmmm. I couldn't duplicate this using the scal demo on the site:

http://scal.fieldguidetoprogrammers.com/scal-v02-documentation/scal-demo

Which version of prototype are you using?

Thanks!
