However, from a practical point of view, I think a table nested within a table should be enough. I've never had to nest a table within a table WITHIN a table, before, although that's just me. Actually, I don't use tables at all anymore, but that's just some advice from my former self. I find CSS much more flexible nowadays. The reason you don't want to nest tables is that most browsers don't show any part of a table until it is completely rendered. Therefore with tables 4 levels deep, browsers will read the outermost one first, then realize that there's another within it, and another, and another... and work from the inside out. The outermost table won't display until all the inner tables are rendered, causing the delay. As for my comment about accessibility, realize that the use of any frames is sure to harm at least one person in the world. Whether they use a screenreader or a text-only browser, frames wreak havoc with navigation. Having NESTED frames only compounds the situation. EDIT: Yes, I know now that the server was largely responsible for the delay. Even so, it never hurts to clean up the code a bit also. Sorry if I implied that the "slowness" of the page was all your fault. [This message has been edited by ozphactor (edited 07-15-2003).] Loading...
