Well, yes I did. :) The problem arose when I switched from "one table cell per node" to "3x3 table cells per node", and again when I switched theway CSS classes were used and again when I changed them again etc. Each time the source changed, but the basic output remained the same - and yet I had to adapt dozends of test.
