Hi, Rob.
This index is where header table is started relative main table. I
think it might make sense for example like
<table>
<tr>
<td>cell</td><td>cell</td>
</tr>
<tfoot>
<tr>
<th>col</th><th>col</th>
</tr>
</tfoot>
</table>
If we would consider dual method to rowHeader, then out argument
startingRowIndex will be 1.
Alex.
