While I agree this is definitely an acceptable use of a table (i think the simplebits guy had an article on this, can't seem to find it) I also saw someone use lists to build a calendar and this made it extremely flexible for things like mobile. I don't know what your needs are, but just thought I'd mention this.

Ayy... i'm all over the place. This is neither article i mentioned previously (I can't seem to find either) but it is relavent:

I'd agree that this is an acceptable use of a table, the clincher IMO is that it has headings. The month, and days plus anything else that should be in the heading area.

A list doesn't have any equivalent to a tables ''.

I'm actually working on a calendar app myself and I use tables for my calendars (just make sure to use semantically correct code like etc to keep them accessible).

A calendar would be proper use of a grid, if that existed. Table is near enough.

I would say that it is a table. Doesn't really make sense to float a bunch of divs. Divs really have no semantic meaning. The table defines a relationship between cells. Or you could do it as a list. That might be best actually. What is a calendar? It's a list of dates.... except that the dates all have to line up, which makes it more like a table.

It will be nice when the semantic web gets going and maybe we'll have a standard set of markup for stuff like this.
