[Javascript] Table within a table?

You shouldn't have problems with NN just because there are many tables.  I
use many tables, and even tables embedded within tables and have no problem
with NN.  If those tables are not properly built you will have problems,
however.  This translates out to hours of debugging according to my
experience.  The main problem appears to be closing tags: </TABLE>, </TR>,
and </TD>.  IE is much more forgiving when it comes to closing table tags
than NN.  So for Navigator's sake you must be very careful when building
tables, even if NN6 may allow you get away with some sloppiness.

Hi,

     Yup, I think your code will be work? But David is right in saying that 
in Netscape you will have difficulties if you include many tables. I think
this is because of Table rendering in Netscape.  I think this problem is 
solved in NS 6.0

Cheers,
Thope
