My last post on this subject started at the horizon and worked back. Let's start from where we are today. The most incremental technique I have thought of yet for how browsers might implement orientation within a table is by adding information fields into the context menu, making it more of a "Where am I?" answer as well as "What can I do?" This would be useful under conditions of reduced visibility, regardless of the cause. As someone else stated well, one must be able to access each cell by itself. Somehow. Making the minimum of assumptions about the equipment environment as possible. Once isolated, it needs to be supported with context, but the context display could be implemented by an "inspect" mode and not necessarily be part of the same display supporting the "roam" mode [c.v. VRML, I am not sure I have the modes named they way they call them.] Al
