I'm glad you appreciate that I thought about your page. It was in fact
an attempt to address your question. I'm sorry if you think you didn't
get your money's worth. I'll give you double your money back. :-)

BTW, it's usually preferred if you place your responses to my points
(valid or otherwise ;-) ) immediately after my points, rather than
copying and pasting them *again* into your reply. Points you don't want
to reply to should be trimmed out of your reply. And please do feel free
to trim signatures.

So why use overflow:auto instead of overflow:visible? I'd leave the
declaration out completely.

Well, I have very little interest in checking through the JS that
produces all the resulting markup, but I can see the generated code, and
that lets me generate what will seem like a smart-aleck answer. Ready?

Your CSS error is putting it inline. For every day in the calendar, I
see stuff like style="left: 83.3333%; top: 87.0968%; width: 16.6667%;".
This stems from what I think is a much larger (and more general) error:
coding the page as a huge clump of absolutely positioned divs and spans.
A calendar is a classic example of tabular data. I recommend you use
<table>.

Probably not what you want to hear (and still doesn't provide any
direction about bg colors), but it's how I see it.
