I have been making a jQuery calendar application, and so far it has been going really well.

One thing that has left me confused is repeating events.

For the life of me I can not work out what would be the best way to have 'chained' weekly events
that does not have an end date. (aka never stops repeating).

The only way I have thought of so far, is asking the user how many weeks they wish to repeat it for,
and then loop though the event inserts X number of times.

Any pointers in the best way to do this logically would be great!

I'd recommend a flag associated with the event to indicate recurring, and a date to indicate date of last occurrance. That information would be stored on the server side.

On the client side, if jQuery doesn't have a recurring event type - your solution would work. If you can populate the javascript or jQuery settings to indicate recurring events (have PHP write Javascript or set up variables), that might work as well.
