Any ideas how we can get the following calendar up and running in  
Rails? Especially how it generates year specific code when we change  
the current year.

Sorry, I won’t answer your question, but I must say creating calendars  
in pure CSS does  
not make much sense. A good test for CSS based layout is ‘does it make  
sense with CSS off’? Well, calendar does not. It is tabular data, so  
table is OK there.

Thanks Rimantas. I should have rephrased the question. My idea was to  
get the calendar up and running. It didn’t matter if it was CSS or  
tabular data. Anyway, I got a few solutions from
