Phil, Your approach with 'styles' has a serious advantage....while extending each table row to its needed full width....it never-the-less 'stacks' the cell heading descriptions wherever the corresponding detail cells are of considerably smaller width than the heading verbage that describes them. This narrows the total amount of scrolling considerably while putting all the cells in a single row. N-o-o-w-w, if only your considerable skills could assess the very strange behaviour of the browser display following the printing of the <H1>...</H1> line (the heading). As mentioned it is creating a couple vertical screens of white space before the table starts.... When I check the 'source' in the browser 'view' menu...it looks exactly as expected from the CGI code that built it...the next HTML tag set and code after the <H1>...</H1> is the <table style.......> tag that you suggested (and previously was my plain <table...> tag)...and the problem existed then too.
