Claus, On the drive home I was arriving at the same conclusiion you did -if it was XHTML it's a piece of cake. Hopefully that's the case in this situation.

Maybe i should have written "An XHTML table is UI agnostic" - if it's valid XHTML, it's by definition wellformed XML, and parsing that is almost trivial, no matter how the individual elements are named. I only wanted to clarify that (X)HTML is sematic and not presentational as you suggested. If i display a table in a browser with all CSS turned off (including default styles), i get a long line of text with no UI at all. Battershall, Jeff wrote: > Claus, I think you get my point.
