FP: How to Add a Script to the ActiveX Calendar Control

• Microsoft FrontPage 98 for Windows
• Microsoft FrontPage 97 for Windows with Bonus Pack

SUMMARY

The ActiveX Calendar Control provides a way of displaying calendar-related events on a Web. ActiveX Controls may be combined to add greater functionality to your Web pages than would be possible with a single control.

MORE INFORMATION

ActiveX Controls are a suite of products and technologies that support Web development and enable software components to interact with one another. ActiveX Controls are built on the Component Object Model.
