Suggestion:

Use <th> instead of <td class="TableHeading">. I did this on our test installation of FUD, and it involved editing quite a bit of FUD source code and doing some style sheet tinkering.

The display is the same, (even on NS4.7) but the underlying markup is structured better. This will help anal web standards geeks like me sleep better at night.

Sounds like a good idea Smile

<th> tag however has 2 anoying properties. first the text inside is automatically bolded & second which is even more anyoing is that the text inside the tag is aligned center by default.

The 2nd being most problematic since the text inside <td class="TableHeading"> is rarely centered.

No problem! A simple style sheet rule fixes these things:

th{text-align:left;font-weight:normal;}

With these styles, <th> will behave like a regular <td>, although bold text is probably more appropriate.

Do you by any chance know if text-align property is supported by all recent browsers?
