Digging in the code a bit, I see that the header and footer, if used, need to be in the standard document format. They MUST start with <dtml-var standard_html_header> and end with <dtml-var standard_html_footer> These variables are used to pass in the proper table indention code instead of page headers and footers. Of course, you can "roll your own" if you are generating non-standard tables. They get passed and you must display them so that you can have a chance to override the nominal algorithm. -- Richard Wackerbarth rkw@Dataplex.NET
