Re: [WSG] Divs for tabular data

Thanks for the sanity check everyone :) I was worried that I'd missed something. I'd seen the YUI table module, thanks Ted, and I know of at least two jQuery plugins that do the same thing so yeah, I'm not sure why they wouldn't use one of those. They're saying it's faster to use divs compared t
