That is, having one continuous calendar instead of two separate month views. It would allow a natural interaction where you can immediately see the length of the interval. However, for intervals spanning several months it might be a bit cumbersome or at least take a lot of horizontal space. http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/salaakso/patterns/Calendar-Strip.html (disclaimer: I haven't tried the code, it is possible that it also implements this kind of continuous view but it was not shown in the screenshot above) How about using Laakso’s Calendar Strip UI design pattern here?

One feature I'd like to see added to the YUI calendar set of controls is the ability to roll by year in addition to month or have I somehow missed it? Very nice work.
