There could be a switch that would allow any th rows to be shifted to the header. By default we can leave them like they are. Anyone else have a suggestion? >(2) Is $_useTGroups an acceptable name for a class attribute?

That way, you can assign things better, I think. Are there any problems with that? Of course, it would (unfortunately) mean that if you change a row from td to th and it gets shifted (see above), you'll get assigned a new row id. As for the attribute name, I guess it is OK. Since it's going to be private, it's not really such a big deal. Klaus
