don't misunderstand me. i've never promoted solutions in a non-standard way. the cycle *has* to be broken. but not on the back of the user! use web standards! but in a clever way that it helps the user, it is according the standards and might even be seen in a way of future progressive enhancement. an interesting quote from the HTML 4.01 specs: "This specification does not require user agents to handle information provided by the axis attribute, nor does it make any recommendations about how user agents may present axis information to users or how users may query the user agent about this information." if the axis attribute is not presented to a user not using a screen-reader, i assume that at least some of those users might miss this information to understand the table. therefore a different presentation of the table might be better and more intuitive. i don't want to obfuscate information from blind people and in the same way i dont want to obfuscate information from the sighted users. /michael -- Michael Stenitzer | WIENFLUSS information.design.solutions
