Thanks Grace. Just what I needed!
About the <caption> suggestion:
Is the purpose of the <caption> tag to have buttons at the bottom of page and
not have to be bothered with <tr> and <td colspan=xxx> tags and aligning them
with other columns in the table? Or is there some other benefit?
What we often do for our buttons at the bottom of the page is...under the table
for the Repeated or freeform, we make a new <table> to hold just the buttons and
hack the HTML to look something like this:
<table width=100%>
<tr>
<td align=left><INPUT TYPE=BUTTON NAME="BtnHelp" VALUE="Help"
OnClick="help(this.form.name)"></td>
<td align="right"> **BtnMainMenu** **BtnXXX**
**BtnAdd** **BtnSave** </td>
</tr>
</table>
I suppose the bad thing about that approach is that it adds an extra table to
the page, so that might slow down the display time.
I'd like to hear your comments about it.
Thanks!
Janet

I have one...
Place the contents of the page inside a table cell. Browsers won't paint
the entire table until all of the contents for that table are downloaded.
Also, if you want to have the buttons in the HTML after the rest of the page
contents, put the buttons inside a CAPTION tag at the very bottom of the
table (right before the </TABLE> tag). HTML standards say that the CAPTION
should appear right after the <TABLE> tag, but all browsers that I know of
render the caption properly anyway.
