You would need to adapt to your two rows at a time requirements.


I do have frequent
changes which make updating the table a 'bear!' So the JS suggestion is
welcomed. I had read about it somewhere. Thank to pointing me to an
example.


If you have frequent changes, you might consider letting some PHP build
your table from a simple csv file (which is just a text file that has
the data with commas after each item, row by row to correspond to tr).
Easier to maintain.

You make the HTML file with a bit of php in place of the table. Put it
on the server along with a plain text file .csv. I do this now and then
and it is quite a time saver. It is especially decent in that it lets a
client prepare the spreadsheet and export to csv format. And you, the
webmaster, simply upload the csv file (or you can get the client to do
this... but it is nice to keep a 'professional' eye on things, one must
be wary of giving clients too much power. They can get ideas that they
can do without you and then how do you pay advance tax bills?)

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll take a look at doing just that.
