Correct. It didn't did it? With NetSurf's semi-JavaScript enabled you saw

Yes, so what you do is click on the HTML-only version.

Why do people find this complicated?

I have no means to change the message Google Calendar puts in the iframe

click on the HTML-only version because the browser you are using is, um,
incomplete.

Or perhaps you are being deliberately obtuse, I'm not sure.
