There is another "gotcha" with date-times in iCalendar. This might not be your issue and i'm not sure how various implementations handle this, but end dates are not inclusive.
For example: DTSTART: 20060101 DTEND: 20060102 This is NOT a two day event, this will end at midnight between the 1st and 2nd. If you wanted a two day event you would have to use DTSTART: 20060101 DTEND: 20060103 -or- DTSTART: 20060101 DTEND: 20060102T235959 Google Calendar MIGHT be using INCLUSIVE dates (it would be a simple test to find out), so that might be some of the problems as well. Just an FYI to anyone, be aware of this, i know i have been guilty myself of coding-up an hCalendar and then forgetting about exclusive dates and having conference events ending a day short! -brian Scott Reynen wrote: > On Jul 18, 2006, at 2:03 PM, Ryan King wrote: > >>> Another problem - going to, for example, >>> http://www.bath.ac.uk/whats-on/getevent.php?event_id=3010&catIds=ALL >>> >>> Tails use the correct date (17 July) whereas the Google hCalendar >>> Greeasemonkey script uses a date of 16 July. >> >> I'm not familiar that greasemonkey script.
