Interacting with a Javascript Calendar

Hi I'm trying to click on a javascript based calendar that is on a website

Posted Image

What type of object is this and how do I interact with it. It's not a radio obviously.

the function of my program is to have the user pre-enter a date, then the program should be able to navigate to that day and then extract the data.

I know how to navigate to the correct month but I don't know how to select the correct day.

below is some related code from the page source regarding the calendar.

notice there is some href stuff for each of the days for feb

href="java script:document.chart_data.selected_date.value='2009-02-12';document.chart_data.report_csv.value='false';document.chart_data.submit();">12</a></td><td class="event"><a href="java script:document.chart_data.selected_date.value='2009-02-13';document.chart_data.report_csv.value='false';document.chart_data.submit();">13</a></td><td class="event"><a href="java script:document.chart_data.selected_date.value='2009-02-14';document.chart_data.report_csv.value='false';document.chart_data.submit();">14</a></td><td class="event"><a href="java script:document.chart_data.selected_date.value='2009-02-15';document.chart_data.report_csv.value='false';document.chart_data.submit();">15</a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="selectedweeknum"><a href="/index.php?yearID=2009&amp;weekID=8">8</a></td><td class="selectedevent"><a href="java script:document.chart_data.selected_date.value='2009-02-16';document.chart_data.report_csv.value='false';document.chart_data.submit();">16</a></td><td class="selectedevent"><a href="java script:document.chart_data.selected_date.value='2009-02-17';document.chart_data.report_csv.value='false';document.chart_data.submit();">17</a></td><td class="selectedevent"><a href="java script:document.chart_data.selected_date.value='2009-02-18';document.chart_data.report_csv.value='false';document.chart_data.submit();">18</a></td>

Little can be done with what you supply, but it appears that the TD elements contain links to javascripts. Try _IELinkClickByText($oIE, "15") and see what happens.

Doesn't work needs to be ripped out of the troubleshooting lexicon. It means that what you tried did not produce the results you expected. It begs the questions 1) what did you try?, 2) what did you expect? and 3) what happened instead?
