Yes you can create a grid with only css division tags, but I am not
for sure you will want to do it except in special cases. My perpetual
calendar at http://www.cwdjr.net/calendar2/perpetual_calendar.php is a
grid of a whole year of dates and months and has to be figured out for
each year. You first enter the year of interest. When the server
receives this, the year calendar is calculated using php scripts, and
this includes calculation of the css for positioning in a calendar
grid. Also US legal holidays are calculated and red is used for these
dates. This is a 4 dimensional problem, with a nest of 4 loops used
in the main calculations. For anything of much complication, I think
you will agree that you would not want to write all of the divisions
by hand, even for a single year, if you look at all of the divisions
downloaded to the page after the calendar is calculated.
