Feedback Wanted

My company has a software product (web calendar) targeted for web
designers. We are in the process of adding support for AJAX scripting,and
I would like to get some feedback from you folks to make sure that the new
feature is usable, and does what you folks need.

First, here are a couple of samples that show pages using the AJAX code:

http://www.mhsoftware.com/caldemo/AjaxDemo.html
http://www.mhsoftware.com/connectdaily.htm

Next, the documentation for the feature.

http://www.mhsoftware.com/caldemo/m...Integration.htm

To make it easy to integrate our calendar into your web pages, We have
created a javascript code generator that's here:

http://www.mhsoftware.com/ajaxgen/

If you try it out, the calendar URL should be:

http://www.mhsoftware.com/caldemo/

I would appreciate any feedback on:

1) Quality of the documentation
2) Usefulness. Is the feature useful on a site you would create?
3) Usability. Do you think you could make it work with your site?
4) Is the code generator OK, or does it need improved?
5) Other comments not related to pricing, accessibility, or your other
preferred calendar <g>.

Thanks.

Seems to work OK here. You have a nice set of docs for it.

I wrote a calendar not long ago (integrates in with my CMS) so I know
a few things about calendars. I didn't look at the way you insert events
but it looks like you have a way of doing that by browsing the calendar,
which is the way I thought it should be done.

As far as the AJAX, I guess it could make life easier to embed in a
template. The scripts I saw before I wrote mine (because I hated the
others), made that difficult. So kudos on that.

I ran mine to embed a months data at a time to minimize server calls,
but I suppose it doesn't make much difference.

God luck,

Jeff
