Syntax:

It always come up with JavaScript.

We have bootstrap and JavaScript basic syntax.

Syntax of Bootstrap:

<div class="container" id="monthyear">
<table id="calendar">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>weekdays</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody id="calendarBody">
</tbody>
</table>
</div>

Syntax of JavaScript:

<script>
variable td = new Dateforcalendar();
variablecrntmnt = td.getMonth();
variable cy = td.getFullYear();
variablemonthyear = document.getElementById("monthyear");
showCalendar(crntmnt, cy);
</script>

How does it works?

The calendar layout and format.

Code:

<div class="card">
<h3 class="card-header" id="mandyr"></h3>
<table class="table table-bordered table-responsive-sm" id="calendar">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Sunday</th>
<th>Monday</th>
<th>Tuesday</th>
<th>Wednesday</th>
<th>Thursday</th>
<th>Friday</th>
<th>Saturday</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody id="calendarBody">
</tbody>
</table>
<div class="form-inline">
<button class="btnbtn-outline-primary col-sm-3" id="pre" onclick="pre()">Pre</button>
<button class="btnbtn-outline-primary col-sm-3" id="nex" onclick="nex()">Nex</button>
</div>
<br/>
</label><div col-sm-4" name="year" id="year" onchange="jumpp()">
<div col-sm-4" name="month" id="month" onchange="jumpp()">
</div>

The JavaScript makes the events of this.

The basic dateforcalendar, month and year display procedure.

Code:

variable td = new Dateforcalendar();
variablecrntmnt = td.getMonth();
variable cy = td.getFullYear();
variablesy = document.getElementById("year");
variableselectMonth = document.getElementById("month");
variable monthtw = ["January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December"];
variablemandyr = document.getElementById("mandyr");
showCalendar(crntmnt, cy);

The table body for display day and dateforcalendar using JavaScript and bootstrap.

Code:

function showCalendar(month, year) {
variablefrstday = (new Dateforcalendar(year, month)).getDay();
variabledayinmonth = 32 - new Dateforcalendar(year, month, 32).getDateforcalendar();
variabletables = document.getElementById("calendarBody");
tables.innerHTML = "";
mandyr.innerHTML = monthtw[month] + " " + year;
sy.value = year;
selectMonth.value = month;
variabledateforcalendar = 1;
for (variablei = 0; i< 6; i++) {
variabledateforcalendardateforcalendarrowss = document.createElement("tr");
for (variable j = 0; j < 7; j++) {
if (i === 0 && j <frstday) {
variabledateforcalendardateforcalendarcells = document.createElement("td");
variabledateforcalendardateforcalendarcellsText = document.createTextNode("");
dateforcalendardateforcalendarcells.appendChild(dateforcalendardateforcalendarcellsText);
dateforcalendardateforcalendarrowss.appendChild(dateforcalendardateforcalendarcells);
}
else if (dateforcalendar>dayinmonth) {
break;
}
else {
variabledateforcalendardateforcalendarcells = document.createElement("td");
variabledateforcalendardateforcalendarcellsText = document.createTextNode(dateforcalendar);
if (dateforcalendar === td.getDateforcalendar() && year === td.getFullYear() && month === td.getMonth()) {
dateforcalendardateforcalendarcells.classList.add("bg-info");
}
dateforcalendardateforcalendarcells.appendChild(dateforcalendardateforcalendarcellsText);
dateforcalendardateforcalendarrowss.appendChild(dateforcalendardateforcalendarcells);
dateforcalendar++;
}
}
tables.appendChild(dateforcalendardateforcalendarrowss);
}
}
