Hi Allison, I have developed a dynamic CSS-generator that takes input from the attributes of one XML element to determine the desired size in width and height of a containing box(DIV), the number of columns desired, and then calculates the number of rows needed based on the total number of child "content" elements contained within this element(these child elements contain the content for each resulting grid box). It then calculates the size of each resulting grid box based on the columns, row, width, and height contained in the parent element. At the moment it is used to dynamically generate radio and check box button groups along with there associated labels. Its uses extensive CSS positioning to give you absolute control over the final result. So, my guess is that this would be ideal for the creation of a calendar layout. I would be more than happy to share this information with you but would want to do it in a manner to ensure you completely understand the methodology used behind it. They're not hard concepts but the implementation relies heavily on the aspects of functional based programming methodologies and extends this into a realm similar to what Microsoft is doing with WAML. So if you are not used to these two methodologies then it may take some getting used to. The nice thing about this approach is that it has built-in readiness and support for using web-services as your communication/data-transfer layer. Let me know of your interest and we can go from there...

I am working with a team of students on a final master's thesis project to create a Campus-wide Event Calendar. Part of this project will be to use XSL to create a calendar (both block and list views) based on an Event model we've created and encoded in an XML schema. Here is our (as yet, incomplete) website on the subject: http://dream.berkeley.edu/EventCalendar/index.html. Although our event model will be more complicated than most that are out there, but am wondering if someone has already taken a stab at writing the XSL to do this? Any resources you can point me to would be very welcome. These are a few I've found so far: http://www.incrementaldevelopment.com/xsltrick/parvez/ http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-www/2003-September/000563.htm l http://www.biotech.ist.unige.it/tab/Mirrors/fyi/xml.html Thanks!
