Embed new upgraded outlook.com on my website RRS feed

  • I don't even know if this is the correct forum category to ask this question. I want to embed my newly upgraded outlook.com calendar on my HTML5 website. It this possible? If so how? Thanks for your consideration!

  • I was able to embed the calendar by following the above instructions. The calendar looks nice with some functionality issues.

    Using a desktop, non touch, using the mouse to point at a calendar event the mouse arrow turns into hand finger pointer. You assume this is a link and click on it, nothing happens, you have to double click on it to open the event to see the details. Not what you would expect to happen, a link on the internet usually opens with one click.

    When opening the website with the embedded calendar from a mobile device (phone), it opens but is almost completely dysfunctional. There is no way to see what year or month your on. The days scroll left or right but very erratic, if you can get it to scroll it usually jumps forward or backwards 7 days at a time.

    I hope Microsoft gets this sorted out so the embedded calendar is fictional across the device spectrum.

    Thanks you for your help.
