Description

Periodic event timetable with on-demand update.

The timetable will display up to twelve rows, each representing one interval between startutc and endutc. The table background will be color coded starting from one interval before startutc until one interval after endutc. Between these times, the rows will be green if the time has not yet arrived, and grey otherwise.

Renders correctly in:

• Firefox 3.5
• Opera 10.10
• Safari 4.0.4
• Chrome 3.0
• Internet Explorer 8 (after much grief and tweaking…)

Under IE7 (and IE8 in compatibility mode), the caption-position is not honored and the header rule is the wrong color. (How I loathe IE. The others all just worked right, first time. Sigh.)
