Inconsistencies when embedding a Google Calendar on your web page.
I’m working on a project that requires me to embed a Google Calendar on a page. The visitor to the page will only be given access to view the calendar, but not to edit or add events. Thankfully, Google has provided an easy method to do this via an iframe.
However, the fun doesn’t end there. I have been developing on a Mac and in Firefox, but I keep a PC with IE6 around for testing. I fired up the old girl and imagine my amazement to find an extra feature when viewing the page in IE6! The “Week” tab appears in IE6, but is absent in the Firefox rendered calendar. For some reason, viewing the iframed calendar in IE6 allows you to view the calendar by week, while the same feature is absent from both Firefox Mac/PC and Safari on Mac. Who knew?
