Very interesting idea... By chance did you think about using <div> elements instead of tables? If you made 2 key (and fundamental changes) I think you could speed up the performance immensely: 1) Change to using <div> elements 2) Only use on <div> (or <td>) for a block of space. (For example on your "String to tables" example, the "j" has 3 rows of 8 columns that are all blank. If you just made that a single element, it would speed things up. Idealistically you go both vertical and horizontal, so the first element would take up 4 columns by 12 rows--since that's all whitespace.) Just an idea... Looks like a fun plug-in... -Dan
