Yes...  Not long after you posted your calendar sample, I hunted down the
ToniArts site.  I was prepared to download it when I realized that I
already have an HTML editor: "1stPage2000".   It's nice that
EasyHTML has a calendar generator.   1stPage2000 has some fine built it
"generators, but nothing specifically for a calendar.

 FV> Of course, this is just my opinion. :)
