Funny. Thanks!
I think now we are back on topic :-)
Unfortunatley, your example illustrates another fact: that most companies,
including Consumer Electronics giants, tend to ignore their customer's
opinions and do very bad (if any) marketing reserch.
Obviously, when I open refrigerator, I have inmind what I want to take from
it.
Let's say a want to have a drink.
Therefor, logical thinking is by *product type*, not by Qty or Heads.
So XML becomes quite usefull here, too:
<Refrigerator>
<Drinks>
<Juice>
<Orange>
</Orange>
<Apple>
</Apple>
</Juice>
<Vodka>
<Stolichnaya>
</Stolichnaya>
</Vodka>
</Drinks>
<Fish>
<Smoked>
<Salmon>
....
</Salmon>
</Smoked>
<Fresh>
</Fresh>
</Fish>
</Refrigerator>
Obviously, if you want only drinks displayed, you define:
Refrigerator { display: block }
Drinks { display: block }
Fish { display: none }
Juice, Vodka { display: block }
etc.
and get what you want :-))
I do not see here application for Tables!...
