Hi All
I hope somebody can help me. I need a way to hide columns in a table
dynamicaly. The user must click on checkboxes that will determine which
colums must be displayed
If anybody knows how to do this please help
Regards and thanks in advance

z, ok to do this you have to keep in mind how tables work e.g. their is columns in rows ok - so while it is easy to hide a row, columns on the other hand is spanning rows so you can't just encapsulate it and be done - but here is my suggestion
put you hidable columsn into panels - you can then switch of the panel e.g.
<!--panel start>
<td>
warra warra
</td>
<!--panel end>
remember to do this for the heading as well
now the catch is handle the colspan in the nav td at the bottom - you will have to keep track of how many columns you are actually displaying and adapt the colspan value
I suggest start at the top of you event file
dimension the variable e.g. intNumberOfColumns
intNumberOfColumns=5 ' the default number of columns
you must then deduct the the number of deactivated from that
so that your last rows will display correctly

stop! ignore my previous post - you'll need some javascript for this e.g. wrap each and evry columns entry in a DIV then by incrrementing ID do a getelement and set each entries style to None and then reverse it with Inline/Block

these guys seem to have a nice solution, with a slightly different approach:
