Hi- I had your same question on tables and such months ago, but I just did it my own way.

I also use CGI for most of the stuff, but I hardcode the html for tables and other minor crap. I've built a few systems that display lots and lots of data, and I use tables for that.

Depending on what I'm doing I either handle everyline being displayed as a seperate table, this way the data get displayed as the browser gets it, not when the table is complete.

For smaller tables, I use one table, with TR for each line of data, but I still so it on my own.
