Don't worry. A calendar typically IS a table, to putting it into
a table element makes a whole lot of sense. Yes, there are CSS ways
to do the same thing, but we're about practical uses of CSS here, and
this qualifies. (I like your calendar styles, too.)

Because IE/Win doesn't support the :first-child pseudo-class. See
<http://www.westciv.com/style_master/academy/browser_support/selectors
.html> for more information. Meantime, you could drop the above rule
and add a black left border to the 'table' element itself, thus
filling in the missing border. It would extend up to the top of the
tab, but that might not be a bad effect.

I suspect so, but I'm never quite sure how browsers are going to
handle table cells when it comes to layout.
