Nit picky nits
Alex,

Something occured to me (usually does) for no reason after all this time.

There should be a "column spacing" field in the Links setup, which inserts a width value into an extra set of <TD width=<%column_spacing%>></TD>

What that will do is prevent the two columns from bumping into each other.

Also, the 80% value is hard-coded into the print_cat routine for the width of the table, and that should _probably_ be 100% to force the table to fill the space, since this probably is what _most_ people will want upon first set up.

There are probably dozens if not 100's of these things that could/should be replaceable parameters or in external HTML_Fragments.pm type file.

I said it was a nit... but it just occured to me.

I've replaced the 80% with 100% and removed cellpadding=0, cellspacing=0. I'll look at adding a spearator cell as an option.

Cheers,

Alex

Sounds good... but the cellpadding=0 and cellspacing=0 I _think_ will default to a cellpadding value of '2'. At least they used to in NN 3.x. Don't know what the internal defaults are.

The spacing cell is a good idea, the only "trick" is to not add it if we are doing the last column. This would be the reverse problem of the orginal 1.0 code :)
