I often have the need to present large (1000+ rows) tables of data.

Is it by any chance related to your latest project (http://message-id.net
for those who have just joined us)?

Not sure if you're asking "what does it do?" or "what doesn't it do?".
The question was "what does it do".

I thought I can shorten the sentence "What does it do?" into "What
does't do?". The same as "It's do...".

To answer both though: it doesn't slice, and it doesn't dice. It does
however, once pointed at a table of data stored in an SQL database,
generate a nice HTML table of data, plus a form that allows you to search
and sort that data.

I have now put up a demonstration of "inc_dt" in action:

Thanks for the info.

(In case you're interested, the data table it is searching is the data
used to build the <link> elements, navigation bar and site map on my site.)
Thanks but no thank you.

Nope -- I always have several things on the go at once. :-)

It is a valuable approach to work that can easily be endured. Whenever one
piece of work becomes a bore or reaches a jam, you can divert your
attention elsewhere while still making valuable progress.

Having said that, the ideal situation involves the investment of /all/
resources to complete one task at the time (caching comes to mind, equiv.
to short-term memory). While computers can do it, the human psychology
cannot. So, multi-tasking is probably the best path to productive living
that's also enjoyable.

Best of luck!

Nah, cigarettes are my forte. I prefer subtle suicide to the more
robust flavor.

I noticed that Message-ID: <ntmqu2-bch.ln1 (AT) ophelia (DOT) g5n.co.uk> from Toby
Inkster contained the following:

Nope. You cannot just contract any word that takes your fancy.

Besides, 'doest' is already a word, though it's use is archaic.
