I’m trying make a calendar that reads information from an XML file, and this is my first experience with XML. When you click on a day that’s specified in the day (node?), the text specified will display in a text field. The colors will change, and startDay is used so that i know where to start the month on the calendar, which is basically a grid with 7x5. Am I going the wrong way with this? Is there a better way to do it? Is this XML file crap?

Any suggestions are appreciated

Thanks!

```auto
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<calendar version = "1.0">
<month>April</month>
<year>2005</year>
<startDay>6</startDay>
<totalDays>30</totalDays>
	<colors>
		<bgColor>0000ff</bgColor>
		<fgColor>cccccc</fgColor>
		<dayColor>cccccc</dayColor>
		<mainTxtColor>0000cc</mainTxtColor>
		<smallTxtColor>ffffcc</smallTxtColor>
	</colors>
	<quotes>
	<day>
	<num>2</num>
	<text>Hello</text>
