Thanks for the quick response Toby! Could I also apply this to a
dynamic table? The main page features a search engine which takes the
user's input and forwards it to a results page (containing this
table). So the results could have different information each time (for
example):
First Search Results
Column A | Column B | Column C
X | 1 | a
| 2 | b
Y | 1 | c
| 2 | d
| 3 | e
Second Search Results
Column A | Column B | Column C
F | 1 | a
G | 1 | b
| 2 | c
H | 1 | d
| 2 | e
Thanks again for your help!
