Yep, the spec just says the headers has to be an IDREF and refer to cells (presumably user agents aren't expected to deal with references that aren't to table cells) but nothing about them being in the same table. Check the implementations - if they were made according to a whole HTML view it might work, but don't bet on it. (HTML browsers tend to accept all sorts of rubbish, and therefore error handling is unpredictable, unlike in XML). cheers Chaals On Thursday, Jul 10, 2003, at 01:45 Europe/Zurich, Charles McCathieNevile wrote: > > Well, the spec is vague about this I think (I could check of course, > but it is 2am.
