See: "A Calendar, using the XSelerator's datetime library",
http://www.topxml.com/code/default.asp?p=3&id=v20020711152545

In addition to your requirements this XSLT app supports two display formats
for a week (with Sun starting the week and with Mon starting the week) and
also hilighting holidays and events from an external xml file.


Hope this helped.
