Now, if only one city td needed to be special, a class there would be different. For example, the city currently displayed on the page or in a little window would be bolded and made bigger.
However, copy/pasting 'class="city"' 40 times doesn't feel like a good programming practice, because we already know it's a city. It's the same dang thing 40 times. Making a colgroup for this city *one* time and being done with it is the intuitive thing to do, but since it doesn't work... 'problem.'" Exaaaaactly. You're right about every cell having the same thing. They are either empty or simply have an 'X' in them (and it is all appropriate content . . . even in the cases of emptiness). http://www.gateway.com/dw/video_card.shtml If you can add styling to a whole row you should be able to add styling to a whole column and assign semantic meaning to that column (and therefore all of its associated cells) exactly once. ___________________________________________________ Try the New Netscape Mail Today!
