Daf Yomi for my webpage

Boy, that was easy. I just pasted the HTML version into my blog sidebar, and voila. I'll link up the plain-HTML version, so you can do it too. Enjoy.

Daf Yomi for your webpage

I ported my Daf Yomi calculator to Javascript, so you can use it in a webpage. In the releases box is a link to a version you can use with Google's "iGoogle" custom homepage. That XML file contains all the necessary code, so if you want to include it in your own webpage, it's pretty trivial to do.

Next stop, a Dashboard widget. What's stopping me here is mostly my lack of motivation to make it pretty, and Dashboard widgets are supposed to look nice. OTOH, I figure if it works in Dashboard, it will likely be usable on the iPhone when it comes out. If someone wants to step up to the plate and turn this into a Dashboard widget, I'll be glad to host it here.
