Re: [css-d] CSS Calendar
I agree with David. Tables can still be very usefull and were designed to do that job.

I did one back in 2003, as posted here: http://meyerweb.com/eric/css/discuss/examples/notable-calendar.html ...and further discussed here: http://archivist.incutio.com/viewlist/css-discuss/35082 I find tableless monthly calendars an interesting exercise, but am ambivalent about their utility. It's easily argued that a month-calendar is a table with columns for days of the week and rows for weeks. On the other hand, it's also the case that an ordered list of the days in the month could be made into a grid-style calendar. Between the examples I posted, and the ones Grady posted, I think there are good examples of how to do this without tables. As to whether it's correct or wrong or what-have-you to do so, let's just leave that alone, if we could. Given the examples of how to do a calendar both with and without tables, I think we can trust folks to pick the approach that best suits their project and temperament. -- Eric A.

I thought that I would hunt down other examples of CSS Calendars, you may find these interesting ... http://www.cssplay.co.uk/menu/calendar.html http://www.cssplay.co.uk/menu/calendar2.html And even if some may think that a calendar should not be done in CSS, why not try? I agree that there are times when tables are the right answer, but I think that part of what we do as advocates of CSS design is to push the limits of our craft.

Re: [css-d] CSS Calendar
Hi there, I'm the author of these demos, and I've been running a pretty robust calendar of similar ilk here: http://tron09.com/calendar/2006/07/ It's just a basic PHP script that parses a wikipage (such as this one: http://tron09.com/wiki/2006_July) into that viewable page and feed. My rationale for using a list is fairly simple; I wanted it to work well on portable devices. On my classmates' BlackBerrys, the list unravels into a linear list of days, whereas a table would become a wide, unusable page.

[css-d] CSS Calendar
I am trying to find a template or a good source to make a month by month calendar in XHTML/CSS – I have found a lot of examples of ones with tables that look fairly good but I am trying to find a solution that is done without tables.

Re: [css-d] CSS Calendar
I am trying to ... make a ... calendar in XHTML/CSS – ... but I am trying to find a solution that is done without tables. Just out of curiosity - why? I would think that a calendar is a perfect example of when you *should* use tables. It *is* tabular data...

I do agree though that a calendar is a good reason to use tables, it is tabular like data.
