Hi Jens, Thanks a million for the replies - it makes perfect sense. Of course, with the display of the td's set to none, the columns that had the rowspan's set would do that (display as 2 rows, and the td's of the hidden rows would be, well, hidden). I think w/ the javascript aspect thrown in, it was enough to throw me off course (sad to say :) )... I wasn't thinking of the td's of the hidden row as being individually hidden vs. the row being hidden - I definitely have become wiser once again because of the helpfulness & insight of 'the list' ! Thank you Nancy, as well - that's exactly what was happening!
