Sure, you can do it that way too. I made it so all methods are easily replaceable. The query_database() method returns an AoA of data, then the build_ajax_table() wraps the rows of the AoA in 'tr' tags and for each column in the row, cleans the XML and wraps it into 'td' tags. You can make a method that does both things at once, and just feed the results to send_ajax_response() without calling either of the built-ins.
I am thinking of something more generic for "drill-downs" - basically make it so you can specify any column as a drill-down column, which will automatically create an href around the values in the column that when clicked will do a WHERE col = val (e.g. you click on "Africa" in the "region" column and that will "drill-down" to WHERE region = 'Africa').

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
