Looking For Calendar Script
I am looking for a commercially available (or free) calendar script that will enable me to link the event titles to a webpage instead of the event link opening a pre-defined event description window (which is what all the scripts I've been able to find do). Here's an example of an online calendar that does this:

It would also be nice if I could use html in the event title and be able to include color-coded abbreviations like the site above does.
Does anyone know where I can find such a script. I've search high and low at such places as The CGI Resource Index, CGI City and The CGI Directory.

Are you looking for a particular language (Perl, PHP, ASP, etc), and do you know how to progam any?
I have seen a few that would probably not be that hard to customize to do this if you could program. (If I had time I'd do it, I like puzzles like this
Since you indicated that you would be willing to pay for a script, have you contacted the designers of the site you gave as an example to find out where they got theirs?
If they custom wrote it, and what you are planning on using it for isn't competition, maybe they might concider selling you a license to use it.

It can be CGI or PHP. No, I'm not a programmer, but I've been able to make some minor changes in some scripts in the past.
I've tried to find something close that I could modify, but haven't found anything I thought I could work with yet.
Yes, I did email them but haven't received a reply.

Using the script you've found that links to a description window, simply enter a URL into the description field, then simply use the content of the description field as the URL for the datelink instead of opening the description window.
It might involve adding an extra database call depending on how the database is structured but it should be relatively simple really.
