It seems to just be with Firefox 3.0.1 I thought I originally tested on the latest version of Firefox but it must have been the 2.x branch. Are others in favor of Harvey's suggested fix?

I thought I originally tested on the latest version of Firefox but it must have been the 2.x branch.

Are others in favor of Harvey’s suggested fix?

echo todays_events();
echo upcoming_events();

Remember to activate todays events/upcoming events in the calendar options screen and also to ensure that you have an event today and events in the future otherwise the lists will not show at all. Harvey, I will look into this but I tested with the latest version of Firefox in the first place and everything does seem to work OK here. Perhaps its a difference between Windows and Linux. I shall investigate and post back.

Configure them through Widgets on the Design tab in the WP admin interface. Johan, there are two Calendar Widgets for Today’s Events and Upcoming Events.

I did find one problem with the popup calendars that when you choose a month or year from the dropdown, it closes the popup without selecting a date. I see this behavior in Firefox 3.0.1, but not in IE 7. I checked out the homepage for the developer of the calendar, and the same problem exists with the examples he has, so it's not your plugin that's the problem. One possible solution is to drop the dropdown menus as the default '>' buttons it seem to work fine in FF 3.0.1 and IE7. I currently don't have access to other browsers so I don't know if this breaks something else though. I finally got around to playing with the RC, and most things look real good!

As a note to all I found a few minor issues with the RC myself during some recent testing so I have gone ahead and fixed those issues and updated the file on the download link in the post above. Fixes include some HTML formatting, mention of the current timezone when entering times and the ability to restore the style (by way of a tick box) should you mess it up/lose it and wish to return to what Calendar came loaded with. If I get no bugs reported in the next week I will push this releases live as the final version 1.2 on wordpress.org and this site. Excellent and thank you very much for the donation.
