Hi, I have a screen that requires a fieldset or a field to be able to edit 2 sets of values for the same attribute. If I have a 'name' attribute, I might want a public facing value to be 'Fred', but I might want an internal version to be 'Agent X'. The idea is that, given a suitable boolean flag (

Can't address the problem directly, but I have been having some similar IE-related fun in RubyOnRails recently - IE is very poor at allowing editing of table data in the DOM.
