How do I make > it shrink so it isn't touching the edge of the right column please? Make the column larger ? The table for the calendar can't shrink much more, constrained by the contents. Remember, width for this kind of tables is always more like min-width. The table sill expand to fit the contents. > > And finally I have put an opacity in the right and left columns.

It is applied to the whole box and the contents of the box. Opacity is _not_ 'transparent background'. What you want is rgba or hsla [2] for the background-colour - support: Safari 2.0 for rgba, future releases of Safari (3.0) and Gecko based browsers (FX 3.0) for rgba and hsla. Maybe Konqueror 3.5.6, not sure. Or use a semi-transparent background-image.
