Hi Nicolas,
    if you grant me access to your actual calendar control, I'd be happy to a sample coded step for you.

I put together a little sample block of code. It demonstrates how to click on the javascript calendar found in this page (scroll to the bottom):
http://calendarview.org/

I wrote the code after examining the DOM structure of the calendar (screenshot 1):

HtmlDiv cld =      Find.ByAttributes<HtmlDiv>("class=calendar"); //We see that the class is a good way to locate the calendar;
cld.ScrollToVisible(); //Let's scroll down to the table so that we ca view it
HtmlTable tbl = cld.Find.AllByTagName<HtmlTable>("table")[0];//the calendar is actually a table element

HtmlTableCell tt = tbl.Find.ByContent<HtmlTableCell>("15"); //each date in the calendar is actually a table cell. Look for the cell inside of the table that has the number 15;
tt.MouseClick(); //Click on the desired date

I hope this example gives you an idea how to deal with your own automation challenge.

Best wishes,

Hello

Thank you very much for your answer, it really helped me
I used HtmlTableCell tbl.Find.ByContent <HtmlTableCell> tt = ("15") to identify and click the corresponding item
  my test runs against much of the QA Edition version but not on the server running, where I run it in the on remote executionserver, the problem is that it can not click on the element because it  is faster than the version
Qa Edition, so it has no time to identify and click on that element, and on this step, I get this error message:
'9 / 6 / 2011 10:21:19 AM '-' Fail ': 14. [WebTestOdigo_CodedStep]: Click 'x2TableCell'
-------------------------------------------------- ----------

Hi Nicolas,

As part of best practices we recommend including verifications frequently in your code to ensure certain conditions are met before proceeding with your test. Please see this page for examples on how to do that in code.

As a last resort you can always use an execution delay, where the number in parenthesis is the time to delay in milliseconds:

System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1500);
