+CalendarView
+============
+
+A lightweight JavaScript calendar widget that follows current web standards
+and best practices. It was developed for use with the Prototype JavaScript
+framework (requires Prototype 1.6 or greater).
+
+More information (including examples and latest releases) can be found at
+[calendarview.org](http://calendarview.org/).
+
+CalendarView is developed and maintained by [Justin Mecham](mailto:justin@aspect.net).
+
+
+
+Basic Usage
+-----------
+
+### Step 1 ###
+
+Include the JavaScript (calendarview.js) and CSS (calendarview.css)
+in the header of your HTML document:
+
+    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="path/to/calendarview.css" />
+    <script type="text/javascript" src="path/to/calendarview.js"></script>
+
+### Step 2 ###
+
+Create a container element for the calendar to be displayed within:
+
+    <div id="my_calendar">
+      <!-- CalendarView will be inserted here! -->
+    </div>
+
+### Step 3 ###
+
+Create another container element to receive the date that the user
+selects:
+
+    <span id="selected_date"><!-- Selected date will be inserted here! --></span>
+
+For most cases, you're going to want to add this to a form. To add the value
+to a form element, just reference the input element by its dom id:
+
+    <input type="hidden" id="selected_date" />
+
+### Step 4 ###
+
+Initialize a CalendarView instance for the container and date field
+you've set up:
+
+    <script type="text/javascript">
+      var calendar = CalendarView.new(
+        { parentElement: 'my_calendar', dateField: 'selected_date' }
+      )
+    </script>
+
+
+
+Customization
+-------------
+
+Since it adheres to the latest web standards and best practices, its simple
+to integrate CalendarView with your web site or project. All styling is done
+via CSS and functionally integrating with the site is as simple as registering
+your JavaScript as callbacks on the calendar.
+
+### Output HTML ###
+
+You are encouraged to style the calendar to match your specific needs. For
+reference, the following is the HTML as it is output from the script:
+
+    <div class="calendar">
+      <table>
+        <thead>
+          <tr>
+            <td colspan="7" class="title">January 2009</td>
+          </tr>
+          <tr>
+            <td class="button">«</td>
+            <td class="button">‹</td>
+            <td colspan="3" class="button">Today</td>
+            <td class="button">›</td>
+            <td class="button">»</td>
+          </tr>
+          <tr>
+            <th class="weekend">S</th>
+            <th>M</th>
+            <th>T</th>
+            <th>W</th>
+            <th>T</th>
+            <th>F</th>
+            <th class="weekend">S</th>
+          </tr>
+        </thead>
+        <tbody>
+          <tr class="days">
+            <td class="otherDay weekend">28</td>
+            <td class="otherDay">29</td>
+            <td class="otherDay">30</td>
+            <td class="otherDay">31</td>
+            <td>1</td>
+            <td>2</td>
+            <td class="weekend">3</td>
+          </tr>
