How to use this site.

This site has a number of interactive features.  It is does not support much server programming (actually, none).  With the exception of a few simple form post handlers, Comcast doesn't provide much in the way of server side programming functionality.

That said, the client-side (i.e., your browser) supports a whole lot of programming via ECMAScript (a.k.a. JavaScript).  And this has been used extensively.  To get maximum interaction from the site, you MUST enable JavaScript and cookies for this site.  If you see messages telling you JavaScript is not enabled, or the various expansion menus don't remember if they were open or closed, Google can help immensely. 

• Firefox instructions
• Internet Explorer instructions

That said, here are the details:

Links

A number of links are provided on the left.  Click the header to expand the list.  The browser should remember (using cookies) that it has been opened and it will remain open from page to page.

Within the team sub-sites, team members can submit additional links.  Scroll to the bottom of the page, and click the "Add Link" option below "Submitted Links" to access a submittal form.  If you mess up and want the link deleted, you will need to mail the webmaster.

Calendar

An interactive calendar is available across the entire site.  In the open areas, the calendar shows the Church's calendar of Holy Days, feasts, Easter dates, etc., as well as the dates for the Men's and Women's CRHP weekends.  Within the team sites, it will additionally show information for that team's calendar if it is available (e.g. meeting dates, themes, etc.).

On the site home, team home and agenda pages, the calendar will also display the current day and its events, as well as providing a link for "Upcoming Events".  Upcoming events link works the same as the links on the left; click to expand and show events for the next week; click again to hide events.  It should remember whether it is open or closed across pages and sessions.

Discussion Forums (Team site only)

These provide threaded discussions for team members using simple server posting.  They should be fairly self-explanatory.
