OK, that's an interesting use case. Although it needs a lot more investigation before we could possibly come up with a suitable solution, if it is indeed a case that we should work on solving. I'm not sure that trying to use a table really is the best solution anyway, considering those are more like graphs instead of tables. There are also other possible solutions to consider using, such as SVG. -- Lachlan Hunt - Opera Software http://lachy.id.au/ http://www.opera.com/
