Daniel, All interested, Thanks for your investigations. I guess this will be a next step (using Dojo or another library it one proves better regarding calendar stuffes). Really needed if we want to compete in this area. Calendars are important and sometimes heavily used things, waiting for a popup ist not reasonable IMHO...
