Netscape Display alternating days

Hi, I am attempting to make a website "widget" to display day 1s and day 2s for my school (they have an alternating schedule, ex. Monday would be a day 1, Tuesday a day 2, Wednesday a day 3, etc). Saturday and Sunday don't apply, and I also need to account for anomalies such as snow days and scheduled teacher plan days where we don't attend school. Any ideas? I assumed this would be a javascript project but I am open to other languages as well.

Thanks!

Show your code, then request assistance where necessary.

that's the problem, i was hoping for a suggestion as to where to find something like this that already exists, or for a suggestion for where to begin learning javascript. I would prefer the former though.

You should post this in the Web Projects forum. CF is not intended to be a free coding service.

Just FYI, I don't see any practical way to do this with JavaScript alone, since SURELY you will need to have a database of SOME kind that tells the code which days are holidays, snow days, etc. And JavaScript, running in the browser on the client machine, can't "reach into" the database sitting on some server to get that information.
