Re: [WSG] Table header
Why stop there? Here's the skeleton of a two column table with summary, caption, header, body and footer. Note that the first column is designed to be a label for the data in the second. Also note the placement of the tfoot element in the sequence. This is important. table id= class= summary= caption/caption thead tr th colspan=2 title=/th /tr tr class=col th scope=col title=/th th scope=col title=/th /tr /thead tfoot tr td colspan=2 title=/td /tr /tfoot tbody tr th scope=row/th td/td /tr /tbody /table -- Douglas Clifton [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://loadaveragezero.com/ http://loadaveragezero.com/app/s9y/ http://loadaveragezero.com/drx/rss/recent From: Patrick H.

Then, if you want to get real fancy, and you have a larger table, you can set the height of the tbody and make it scroll. While not supported in all browsers, those that don't will simply default to a full table: tbody style=height: 350px; overflow: scroll; Sample at: http://wats.ca/resources/accesskeysandkeystrokes/38 Cheers!

Re: [WSG] Table header
Agreed, the point of standards design is not that tables are bad, but using markup with meaning (a.k.a semantic markup) is better. kind regards Terrence Wood. On 15 Aug 2005, at 3:59 AM, Patrick H.
