Why should what be a table? The main table with a citation column? > Also > then you'll have display problems because of the row height.

I used a table in that test because layout is easy with tableView:heightOfRow: and Tiger doesn't support NSCollectionView; in addition, I was originally going to write a custom cell subclass but didn't get around to it. I'm afraid I don't understand your point here, but ultimately I don't care what NSView subclass is used. How about an NSTextView and custom NSTextContainers that allow Address Book-style editing? -- adam ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
