IG, Thanks for the quick response, i'll try and play around with your example sometime today. I plugged in in already today to see what it would do "out of the box" and it appears that perhaps increasing the efficiency of my perl code and color generator may not solve my 1 second delay between adding colors. (Really what I'm trying to do with this is cut down on the HTML it has to send back, which your script does a amazing job of doing, however, it seems jQuery (the javascript framework I'm using) understands what needs to be done, and re-assigns a background-color:(000,000,00)..(An RGB formatted bg color line added to each line.)...Which is MORE than the previous line.

I'm not giving up on the perl side, I still think we can implement this way and have it much more efficient.

Thanks again!
