doesn't work in any other browser other than IE.. and i'm personally
NOT using IE.. thus i can't even see it.. i'm using opera.. thanks

The term "DHTML" may have been coined by Microsoft, but it is
implemented using a mix of script, markup and styles. Therefore it can
be implemented using open standards and be browser neutral - it is not
MS proprietary nor necessarily IE specific.

Not so. The JavaScript used for the calendar uses feature detection to
sort whether to use document.all, document.layers or
document.getElementById which is recommended best practice for being
browser friendly.

The various implementations at the link all seem to work in Firefox.

Then it is a problem with Opera - which is not to say Opera is at
fault, just that whatever the issue is that causes the script not to
work with Opera, it isn't because the script is intentionally
IE-centric.

Of course it's implemented in DHTML. That usually just means, it uses
HTML and JavaScript. It's nothing IE specific.
But why don't you check it out?

For me it works in IE, Firefox *and* Opera (7.23).
