Thanks everyone. I tried to use Google Code (http://code.google.com/) to try
to search for <body...><table... (there is a regex way of doing that but I
don't know regex) but Google Code doesn't seem to be searching the HTML code
of web pages but code samples, possibly marked up using the <code> tag.
If anyone wants to give Google Code a try, I would be interested to hear the
results.
