I know that I can use HTML to create a table in my NetTalk application. However, I want my tables to have advanced features (mybe dynamic is a better word). I want things like merged cells, floating cells, calculations on cell values, and so on.
I think it is possible to completely create and manipulate a table using javascript.
Would it be more efficient to use HTML or Javascript? I'm relatively sure that Javascript will be involved no matter what.
Thoughts?
Thank you!!!!!!

Hi Don,
There's no completely right answer to this, and the answer you'll likely get to is some mix between the two.
In NetTalk there's already a fair mix between the two - we have a number of server-side features (like sorting, locating etc) and a number of client-side features (mouse-over, greenbar, clicks) and so on.
>> I want things like merged cells,
already supported (server side)
>> floating cells,
not sure what "floating cells" are...
>> calculations on cell values
also already supported server side...
cheers

Thank you Bruce!!
A floating cell is simply a <td></td> with its z-index and position set to cause it to "hover" over another cell. I guess NetTalk's Tips feature on mouse over would be example. Except, in this case, that cell wouldn't go away.

In that case, I guess already supported, since you can set the css (hence z-index et al) for any cell you like.
