Hi Jim, I'm not sure post-processing would work, but I thought briefly about doing multi-column td's. However that won't work in the monthly view, where you don't really have that "aligned cell" structure for individual events. (Well, it might, but I think it'd look ugly.) And you'd want it to be consistent across all the different views. Moving to pure CSS actually simplifies things a great deal....
