actually the script works in Safari the way it is - just fails in
Firefox, but I'm sure you already know that.

by the way, did you see my other post regarding the table sorting
still no luck with it - no error - nothing

this is the function I'm using:

setTableSort: function() {
                var el = $('tblDownload');
                if ($defined(el)) return false;
                var table = new HtmlTable(el, {
                        sortIndex: 0,
                        parsers: ['string', 'string', 'numberLax', 'date'],
                        classHeadSort: 'expand',
                        classHeadSortRev: 'collapse',
                        sortable: true,
                        onSort: function() {
                                console.log('done sorting');
                        }
                });
                table.sort(2);
        },

once again, thank you so much for your help and patience!!!!!!
