This is very poor design, forcing needing nodding scrolling in the browser, that the user cannot disable without editing the page itself: $ wwwoffle -o http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikipedia_tools|grep 'td>$' </p><table width="100%"><tr valign="top"><td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </div></div></td> The user is forced to read three columns across the screen, no matter if the whole table will fit on the screen horizontally or vertically. If his browser is not tall enough, he is locked into a PDF style view where he must do several passes up and down, up and down to be able to read the whole table in alphabetical order. This violates the whole accessibility principles of HTML. You are making device dependent expectations whereas users without such large screens as you are forced into very frustrating up and down, up and down scrolling to be able to read the table in alphabetical order. He cannot just keep tapping the spacebar to scroll down like you on your tall screens. (True, the user could keep hitting TAB (in firefox) to have the nodding motion done for him.) Please use some more device independent method. Yours falls apart upon tables that are too tall to be viewed on one page. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
