Spreading Holiday Cheer – 2011 HTML5 Advent(ure) Calendars

By abegin | Published: December 15, 2011

Last year, we had a ton of fun developing our HTML5 Advent(ure) Calendar. It gave us a chance to review, demo, play and test out some of the best HTML5 projects and games on the web. We also met some great people in the process.

If you never had the chance to check out the work, here’s a peek:

The calendar got some great feedback and even inquiries from folks who wanted to make calendars of their own, so this yea we released the source code. It’s free to use however you wish, but please link back to us for attribution.

We wanted to share some of the cool calendars that people have created using the source that showcase art, gift ideas, and even pets up for adoption. Great calendars to spread the holiday cheer! check them out:

Great job all! We also saw a neat Mozilla Developers Network Advent this year by Chris Heilmann and team. Have you seen any other HTML5 advent calendars in the wild? Please share – we’d love to see and share them!

Happy Holidays from ZingChart!

Does this Calendar work by days/date? So in December on the 3rd you can only open days 1 to 3 and nothing else in the future?

What needs to be modified in the common.js file to make this calendar work for 2012? I don’t see any year variable.

In the commons.js file, you can set the date to open a specific number of days.

I too would like to know how to make this work for other years (ie 2013).
I trawled through the code so many times and just kind find the variable.
