@CharlesAug 10.2003 — #[font=georgia]You cannot store a table layout in a variable because you ought not to use a table for layout.
You can assign HTML as a string to a variable and you can assign any element in the Document Object Model, along with all child elements, to a variable. See http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-DOM-Level-1-19981001/.[/font]
