David, thanks so much! I will definitely take a look at these options.

Another suggestion I received was this--a php-based calendar. Haven't used php really before, so that may be a little over my head technically, but it's another one I'm looking into.

Best,

Megan

I don't know of anything specific, but here are some preliminary thoughts (maybe they will spark some ideas).
caveat: these links are a little old, so the info might be a bit dated. The underlying ideas should be sound, though

Basic idea: Your Google Calendar has an RSS feed that you can configure/customize, so you just need a better way to display the data on your page

I found a blog post that explains how to use Feedburner's BuzzBoost to display your calendar's feed.

There's also an article from AJAX Magazine that provides a javascript-based Google Calendar reader.

Accessible Web calendar in tabular form

Hi all--

I am looking for a web calendar in tabular/graphical form that is accessible. Currently I'm using a Google Calendar and the embed code uses iFrames which are not accessible. I'd like to have a little calendar widget on another page (such as the one you see here).

Anyone know of an accessible Web calendar option? Or a way to make iFrames accessible?

Thanks,

Megan
