Busness management

Somewhat, the last time I wrote anything in html was 4 years ago

I have completely no experience in HTML, which I think is used to write widgets. I can write in bold and italics etc, which I don't think can help with your widget...
What you could do, is download this widget, which can show your timetable. Sorry I couldn't be of any more help.

just curious i am pretty familar with html so what do you use to create the widget?

I can do some coding by hand and use dreamweaver for some as well if i created my own widget what app would i use to give it the correct format for tiger?

If I'm correct, widgets are made with (X)HTML, CSS, Javascript, and sometimes XML. I can handle the XHTML and CSS stuff, but I know next to nothing about Javascript. Here's a handy tutorial from Apple's web site on how to develop Dashboard Widgets: http://developer.apple.com/macosx/dashboard.html Hope that helps a bit!

Does html support "if" codes??
because if i use the picture frame widget and just add some "if" commands into the html file I can give each of the days a spesific image and say basically- if monday display monday- or something a little like that

HTML doesn't support 'if' structures but Javascript does.

Update

Now just an update i have tried to make the widget so that all i click is the "i" in the bottom right hand corner and the weeks flip over but I am having problems with it so if any of you could please have a look at the widget (http://rapidshare.de/files/16700573/Timetable.wdgt.zip.html)
and tell me what I have done wrong

 

[elisha cuthbert]

I have alos had another idea of how i could make this work but i need input from other people:
could I display a swf video file in a widget?
if you are prepared to do this for me could you please pm me and i will email a link to the file but please please please help me

 

[elisha cuthbert]

All done finished, i ended up using a program called widget maker x and it worked great
the widget is just week1 of my timetable on the front and on the back its week 2 and everything works
