[thelist] Form sniffing within tables nested within divs

Chris,

With something this complicated, all I can suggest is a naming convention.
ex. "tb1_d1_stb2_d2_empty_empty_empty" You have the advantage of being able
to create these tables/divs dynamically, therefore, you (may) also know the
worst case scenario. From there, its just a matter of sorting through the
rubble and extract your information. By sorting, I mean using string
functions like split, character detection, etc.

hth,

Rob.Smith

Chris -

Well now I understand your question better, but have no ready solution.
Hopefully others following the thread might have something more.

Sorry.
