Hi,
I always see the th tag only used in the first row of the table. Is there some specific reason why it can't be used to create 'left' headers along the leftmost column. Is this bad form, or is this ok.
Basically, a table with headings on the top row and the leftmost column, with the very top left square being empty.
e.g.
<table>
<tr>
<th/> <!--empty-->
<th>Top 1</th>
<th>Top 2</th></tr>
<tr>
<th>LeftHeader?</th>
<td>data1</td>
<td>data2</td></tr>
</table>
