The "Stocks" widget in the Mac OS X > Dashboard uses hidden table headers.

This is a scenario that we at TPG do encounter in our work, from time to time, and I consider that being able to reference hidden headers in this way would be a useful technique. -- Configure bugmail: https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
