You can use <tbody> tags to represent a group of <tr>s. <tbody>
sections can then be shown or hidden using javascript:
hide:
document.getElementById('tbody_id').style.display = 'none';
show:
document.getElementById('tbody_id').style.display = '';
I know for sure it works in IE6, IE7 and FF2.
Unless you are using vary large tables, you probably won't notice much
of a speed difference over using <tr>s with classes. Why do you want to
switch?
