Would this fit HTML's idea of a table? That certainly is something that discussed here. > I want a sort of a map that is x*y grid and every rectangle should have > some value on it and be colored according to a certain rule.

Javascript may also play a role in updates from the server (via jquery, which web2py makes use of).

BTW, my javascript textbook had an assignment where a picture was cut into rectangles and scrambled. The javascript had to let user move the blocks around to get them in the right order. This didn't use tables, just x-y settings; that would perhaps work with non-rectangles without too much trouble. > So do you have any recommendations?
