It's just as easy to generate in most server languages, and it's *much* simpler to work with on the client. The JSON data becomes native JavaScript objects and arrays, so you can access it with ordinary JavaScript code instead of a messy DOM API. The details would be outside the scope of this list, but there's plenty of information on JSON out there if you need it. Anyway, in your case, the multiple <tbody> elements should do the trick. -Mike ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [css-d@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
