Answer 1

First, you should read the Forum FAQs and Guidelines - Start Here, to learn what is expected of you when you post. For one thing, this is the Expression Web forum, so every question is about Expression Web, or should be. Using that as a topic conveys nothing. Next time, choose a topic related to your actual question.

<edit>Second, there may be a way to do what you want, but it does not appear to be something easily accomplished using the EW interface, and would require some coding on your part.</edit>

Third, although EW offers some support for ASP.NET, it is very limited, and uses the single-page model. For more advanced options, or questions, you should ask at the asp.net forum. They can probably point you to a 3rd-party AJAX or other control that will do what you want.

Answer 2

Yes, you can do more than display the date in the asp.net calendar control, and yes you can, for example, add event text to various dates.

However, it's an asp.net question, not an EW question, and requires more than basic asp.net understanding.  You would need to write the code to do it, either explicitly coding each date of interest, or tying into a database source that you would fetch that information from.  (And, of course, add a reference to the name of your ondayrender event function to the control itself.)

Sorry, Kathy (and D.J.). My bad. I had not used it and did a quick perusal of the docs. I should have spent more time and done some testing. Entirely my fault for not investigating further. I will edit that post.

cheers,
