Well, I was not aware there is a problem, but that may explain why the
school web programmer did it the way he did.  He used Google calendar and
set it up as  a popup on the website, instead of loading it inside the
website.  You can check that out on the mainpage,
http://www.sudburyschool.org  , by clicking on the calendar link at the top.

So maybe that would work for you?

Keep in mind the school is in Ulster County, so that means we have a large
number of parents and staff who are primarily artists.    So my problem, and
what got me thinking of this, is that the google calendar interface is just
a little too confusing for them.  Thats why I want to streamline it using
the Google API, so they can enter just 3 fields of data, and I'll use all
the defaults and post it via the API to a google calendar.
