Ampersand problem
Google allows extra features like custom sizing of the calendar, viewing other calendars within the same iframe and removing the google logo. Eg. Adding & chrome=NAVIGATION removes the google logo.

However the problem with this is that it requires a pure & and when the iframe is written into the page the & gets converted to an &amp;amp; in the html page source, which is the ampersand problem. And so the iframe cannot recognize the query after the &amp;amp; because it needs a pure &. Thus the extra google calendar features do not work correctly when viewed using this extension.
