Hi, I have tried to use the named class in one of my applications and I have ecountered the following problems: 1. Prints HTML, does not return it -- solved with with output buffering functions, though I consider it to be an ugly hack. 2. Reordering does not take into account the current $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'], which is quite inconvenient. 3. Adding "Edit" columns is quite unintuitive, even after skimming the function code, and I could not make it work with a class method ( static or not ). Maybe resorting to the good old call_user_func() would work. 4. Too much hardcoded HTML attributes. Maybe making two .oddrow .evenrow CSS entries would make customizing the output easier. 5. The Smarty output approach is self-centered, and it is difficult to integrate it into my app. IMHO it is better used by HTML_QuickForm. Nevertheless, this is a very usefull class and I would like to see it develop further. Robert -- Robert Munteanu <rombertworf@xnet.ro>
