Re: adjusting table dimensions, etc.

You can adjust the table size in wysiwyg view. Just grab any of the
squares at a corner or half way along a side and drag.

There are of course constraints; if the content fills a cell it will
prevent you from reducing the size further.

A better way is to right click in the table. The Table Properties drop
down menu then allows you to set the size of the table or cell.

It’s not usually a good idea to try to constrain the dimensions of
table elements too closely. You can find yourself fighting the maths
quite quickly. Tables are intended to hold data and accommodate
automatically to the content. Nevertheless you can use the Table
Properties drop down to set cell dimensions but remember all cells in
a column will be the same width, that of the widest cell, similarly
for height in rows.

Does anybody have a simple calendar I can use?  Every time I try to

It's difficult to edit tables in html / this program (I'm not sure,
which, either, both)

Though there are more .css files (when you look at the source of the page) as this, like many pages these days, seems to be modularised as a common framework, and there's http://colintoh.com/assets/js/libs/less-1.2.0.min.js which looks like it extrapolates the rulesets in those .css files to work across multiple browsers, with all the necessary prefixes like -moz- for Firefox.

Incidentally Firefox 16 will remove the need for including many of those prefixes, see http://paulrouget.com/e/unprefixing-in-firefox-16/ which does mean web authors must remember to include unprefixed copies of each prefixed rule (Firefox won't immediately stop supporting the -moz- prefix, but eventually it will)
See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=765645 for an example of a web author whom didn't pay attention to that for opacity when was unprefixed 8 years ago.
