I think you are. I mean, I've got a pretty complex paging control that sits on the bottom left of my table. The top-bottom positioning is controlled by one property, then you can modify the HTML for your actual paging control in the banner.paging.* properties. To have a filter control (I'm assuming you mean something like a textbox and submit button or a drop-down list with an onselect event or something like that), just put the HTML in there directly and that'll get pushed out when the table is created. > It seems that it might be nice to separate the display of pagination > controls (maybe export controls as well) to their own tag.

It'd be kinda neat to have the paging control tied to the table through DOM relationships, which could allow something kinda silly like a pop-up paging control or control across frames or something like that. That said, I still think you have the ability to do what you want within the current framework. -- Rick Herrick [EMAIL PROTECTED] I haven't got time for inner peace.
