I agree that the "element" in the "elementTable" name is kind of redundant. Although it probably means "table of elements" instead of "a table-shape element", "table" alone sounds better IMO. I'm wondering (and I haven't looked into that at all) if that table could be set to be scrollable within a <div>, when using the standard renderer. This would be great for large/long tables of elements. -Philippe
