History
GmBowen posted a nice little Calendar action on GmBowenCalendar which drew a lot of comments (and suggestions), and which JsnX proposed to include in the upcoming (1.1.6.0) version of Wikka. I commented that I'd like to see the code "cleaned up" before inclusion, and offered to do that. The result is here.Different output
Data table markup
The original (including the ultimate original which we've traced the code back to - see the comments on GmBowenCalendar) code uses a table to present the calendar but the markup is that for a "layout" table, not a data table.What's the difference? A layout table has nothing but a table tag (table), table rows (tr), and table data cells (td) within the rows. However, a data table is to present data in relation to each other; a calendar clearly is a data table, showing dates in a month with day names labelling groups of dates (and possibly more). In order to show relationships between data, a data table uses not only table data cells (td), but also header cells (th) to label the data, and preferably a caption (caption) that labels what the whole thing is about.
A good article about marking up data tables:
