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. ===== Cheers, Dimitre Novatchev. http://fxsl.sourceforge.net/ -- the home of FXSL "Karl Stubsjoen" <karl@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote in message news:003401c33308$20ee7800$71d76844@xxxxxxx > Hello, > I'm embarking on a calendar project... from the ground up.
