    Spitsoor, an approach I might consider is using http://www.tablesgenerator.com/html_tables.

    You can create your required CSS and save the template (events.tgn) and pass that with the web address above to the owner..
    Thereafter your client owner loads the template and adds rows and manipulates as required.
    The template/table is saved, awaiting the next edit cycle.

    The displayed code is copied to the Clipboard and saved as the same filename (events.htm) and published to a location that the owner can publish directly to.
    Occasionally, you get a copy of the tgn file for save-keeping.

    Your Xara design simply has an iframe to the same location.

    P.S. Your original asked for a calendar, which is a different kettle of fish.

    The OP has to exercise a little patience in collecting answers on the forum.

    That's not a calendar! It's a list of forthcoming events.

    I am sorry for the confusion. As a non native English speaker (I am Dutch) I translated it to what I know it to be.

    We call it an evenementenkalender (events calendar) hence the confusion. It is true that I want it displayed as a list.

    As to the patience remark by behzad: whut?


    Egg. Thnx for that, looking into it!

    Very good, but it doesn't match the design brief and would be rejected by the client.. :-)

    Well....I gave it a serious try, but .... the css is not working.

    It looks fine in docs, but in drive it's a hot mess and even so when embedded in the website.
    shame, it seemed like a good idea.

    Your version is great, but you've ignored the padding for the text.

    Spitsoor is your client paying you for all this effort to make it user updateable?

    I tell my clients up-front that they won't be able to update their sites and for small changes I charge a nominal amount to do the change for them.

    If the frequency of the changes is low and the ease of update is simple - which seems to be the case here - why not offer to make the changes for a nominal fee? You will then avoid screw-ups by the client.
