If you want to change the first day of the week, for example to Sunday, add the following to your page anywhere before the calendar code. The number can be between 0 and 7 where 0=Sunday, 1=Monday etc.

== Multiple calendars on the same page (programming skills required) ==
The calendars have a clone function which allows showing multiple months, please see the source of this page for details
1. start with a normal availability calendar widget from the widgets menu
<nowiki><div style="width:auto; padding:0; margin:0;"></nowiki><form id='ap00002048' style='display:inline;' method='GET' target='_blank' action='https://beds24.com/booking.php'><script type='text/javascript' src='https://beds24.com/availcal/cal.jsp?propid=2048&width=200'></script><input type='hidden' name='propid' value='2048'><input type='hidden' name='fdate' value=''><input type='hidden' name='referer' value='Calendar'><input id='beds24sub1411413312' type='submit' STYLE='width:200px' value='Check Availability' title='Click to check availability and make a reservation online'><script type='text/javascript'>document.getElementById('beds24sub1411413312').style.display='none';</script></form></div>
2. make a clone of the calendar
*the form id must be unique, we add a letter
*the cloned calendar is in an array, pass the id of the form to connect it to.
*the array name is in the format cb00<propid>[] for property calendars and ca00<roomid> for room calendars.
*we have removed the input button and the script to hide it.
<nowiki><div style="width:auto; padding:0; margin:0;"></nowiki><form id='ap00002048b' style='display:inline;' method='GET' target='_blank' action='https://beds24.com/booking.php'><script>cb00002048[1]=cb00002048[0].clone('ap00002048b');</script><input type='hidden' name='propid' value='2048'><input type='hidden' name='fdate' value=''><input type='hidden' name='referer' value='Calendar'></form></div>
3. make another clone
<nowiki><div style="width:auto; padding:0; margin:0;"><</nowiki>form id='ap00002048c' style='display:inline;' method='GET' target='_blank' action='https://beds24.com/booking.php'><script>cb00002048[2]=cb00002048[0].clone('ap00002048c');</script><input type='hidden' name='propid' value='2048'><input type='hidden' name='fdate' value=''><input type='hidden' name='referer' value='Calendar'></form></div>
4. and as many more as you want
<nowiki><div style="width:auto; padding:0; margin:0;"></nowiki><form id='ap00002048d' style='display:inline;' method='GET' target='_blank' action='https://beds24.com/booking.php'>  <script>cb00002048[3]=cb00002048[0].clone('ap00002048d');</script><input type='hidden' name='propid' value='2048'><input type='hidden' name='fdate' value=''><input type='hidden' name='referer' value='Calendar'></form></div>
5. this script which is included after the calendars are cloned increments the displayed date one month at a time
<script>
cb00002048[1].nextMonth();
cb00002048[2].nextMonth();
cb00002048[2].nextMonth();
cb00002048[3].nextMonth();
cb00002048[3].nextMonth();
cb00002048[3].nextMonth();
</script>
