Epoch Prime JavaScript Calendar Documentation
Introduction
Epoch Prime is an upgraded version of the Epoch JavaScript Calendar. It is based on the Epoch code, with significant rewrites intended to accomodate advanced new features such as AJAX and XML. While we've made every attempt to ensure backwards-compatibility with the older Epoch versions (1.0.6 and below), there are some differences in the way Epoch Prime is used, including:
- Introduction of the dates array – holds all notable dates; including holidays, blackout dates, etc
- selectedDates is now a simple pointer array to dates – containing only the dates that are currently selected
- Many of the functions that were previously publicly accessible are now private — they cannot be accessed outside of the main Epoch class declaration.
