You may find the code below useful. Its not responsive but will work if that is not a concern to you. Your original coding did not look as though you were taking responsive into consideration - as others have said the concept would be difficult to achieve without some rethinking to make it responsive.

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<head>

<meta charset="UTF-8" />

<title>Calender</title>

<style>

* {

box-sizing: border-box;

}

body {

font-family: Segoe, "Segoe UI", "DejaVu Sans", "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, sans-serif;

background-color: #C83740;

display: flex;

background-image: url(calendar.png);

background-repeat: no-repeat;

height: 770px;

width: 1025px;

border: 1px solid #000;

}

.calendar_dates {

display: flex;

flex-wrap: wrap;

justify-content: space-between;

margin-top: 115px;

position: relative;

.day {

background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.7);

margin-bottom: 2px;

font-size: xx-large;

}

.date {

You could do it, but there is at the moment a very,very, big BUT.

It would only work for about 70% of your users, and even though flexbox fallback is possible it would require a complete re-think of how your page would look on mobile devices, (and would probably require that anyway in order to remain usable).

The answer would be to use css grid layouts, which even at the moment is not very well understood by many experienced web developers.

If you do however feel up-to the challenge, you should become proficient in css grid layouts, and in particular the use of content alignment and media-queries, for css grid layout tutorials see -

and the resorces section, in particular the old IE specs, and the new spec should be well understood, see -

Faith is a wonderful thing.  But misguided faith is futile.  Your table is not responsive yet viewport sizes vary drastically.  You could write all the CSS media queries in the world and this will never line up exactly where you want it on every device.  You've painted yourself into a corner with a design concept that's too precise for the web.  Although it might work well as an image.

Sorry, I don't see that this works for this specific problem. Can you give it another look?
