No

it would be nice to have a javascript that makes the
table columns resizeable with the mouse - windows-style
like here:
http://www.valdersoft.com/flexible_table.php (only IE).
the tables could have a style="overflow:hidden"
http://selfhtml.teamone.de/css/eigenschaften/positionierung.htm#overflow
so if there is more text than fits into the new size of
the tablefield it is hidden.

    IE only functionality is not acceptable.

    sure not, but i am also sure, that this is already solved
    cross-browser wide somewhere.
    i just looked a few minutes and found that link, but there
    are thousands of free javascripts in the net :)

    Thanks for your research. If you can help us find something
    cross-browser, it will speed the implementation of this feature.

    ok, maybe such a scriopt would be a bit too bulky, but how
    about this:
    the fulltext/partialtext-Button could have a third option:
    collapsed text.
    this would be, that all table columns are inflated to the
    minimum width, which is the stringlength of each fieldname.
    this way tables with a 100 fields would be good readable again.

    I'm gonna work on this, though I have proposed this in GSoC.

    This requested feature was implemented in the repository and will be part of a future release; thanks for suggesting.
