Hi All I'd appreciate your thoughts on making calendars accessible. In an old project of mine, I generated Web-based calendars (month view) using the Perl module HTML::CalendarMonthSimple. This produces a table-based calendar. I have been pondering whether a table is a suitable means of creating a calendar, or whether it should be an act of CSS wizardry... As far as I can remember, the Perl module uses deprecated markup and certainly lacks any of the elements and attributes required to make the table accessible. However, if a table *is* a suitable format for a calendar, I will quite happily re-engineer the Perl module to produce accessible output.
