Embedding Online Calendars with iCal JS Embed

iCal JS Embed is a tool designed for integrating a dynamic, scrollable calendar of events onto your website or blog. It facilitates the display of events sourced from Google Calendar, and other calendars utilizing a similar online format.

While direct embedding of a Google Calendar is achievable through its standard iCal format (*.ics), iCal JS Embed offers enhanced presentation options. Events can be viewed in a scrolling display or conveniently positioned within your website’s sidebar.

Customization and Integration

The platform allows for extensive customization of the calendar’s appearance through the use of CSS. Additionally, multiple iCal feeds can be consolidated into a single, unified calendar view.

Setting Up the Embed Code

To begin, you must register an account using your existing credentials from Facebook, Google, Live ID, or Twitter. Subsequently, obtain the iCal link (*.ics) from your chosen online calendar provider.

For example, a Google Calendar iCal link might resemble this: https://www.google.com/calendar/ical/dd%40gmail.com/public/basic.ics. After pasting the link, click "Save & Preview" and then copy the generated embed code.
