White bits in my calendar

I've spent way too much time on this, this morning. I'm trying to get back to my old look&feel for my blog. I'd almost got that by using my previous Weblog and _css files from the earlier version of roller, but I had two problems:

I've solved the first one but I'm still stuck on the second. My custom _css file has an entry:

.hCalendarDayNotInMonth {
 font-size : x-small;
 background-color: #dfdfdf;
 color: gray;
}

If you "View Source" on the page you are reading now, you'll see that near the bottom, the calendar layout includes:

...
<th class="hCalendarDayNameRow" align="center">Sat</th>
</tr><tr>
<td class="hCalendarDayNotInMonth"> </td>
<td class="hCalendarDayNotInMonth"> </td>
<td class="hCalendarDayNotInMonth"> </td>
<td class="hCalendarDayLinked"><div class="hCalendarDayTitle">
<a href="/roller/page/richb/Weblog/20041201">1</a>
...

I was fully expecting those three "hCalendarDayNotInMonth" to have a grey background. But they don't.

If there are any CSS wizards out there, I'd love to know what I'm doing wrong.

I'm no CSS wizard either, but have you tried background: transparent? Or would it be background-color: transparent? I dunno.

Hi Lance. Just tried that (both variants). Unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the solution. Thanks for the suggestion though.

And the winner is! <drum roll please>

TD.hCalendarDayNotInMonth not hCalendarDayNotInMonth

It's surprising what an extra cup of tea and a relaxing hour or two at a good bookstore can do to reenergize the old brain cells.
