CSS styled tables October 26, 2007

Tables can be a nightmare to deal with, especially because they have become the mainstay of many a developer who throws the standards to the winds. Of course if tables are used to do what they are meant to do, displaying tabular data, they can make life a lot easier.

 Enter TABLECLOTH. Table cloth takes good well formed code and applies styling and behavior to it and voila!!! You have a styled and active table.
