Re: [SMARTY] example not working...

Thanks for the help, Ken.  However, I now have a couple new questions.

First:  There is a th_attr attribute listed for html_table (link 
below).  I cannot get it to work.  I tried using a string and assigning 
an array in the php file to be passed to the template.  Neither worked.

Second:  I also tried, on a whim, to use the caption attribute.  It 
seems fairly simple, but again, it does not work.  My line looks like this:

{html_table loop=$tableData cols=2 caption="hello" 
table_attr='border="2"' tr_attr=$colors}

For what it's worth, I am getting a bit frustrated with html_table as 
things do not seem to be working as advertised.  I would either 
appreciate corrections to the documentation or more examples showing how 
things work - e.g. and example using *all* the attributes for whatever 
function it is.

Note: I am aware this is open source and many work very hard and 
volunteer.  I fully respect that.  I am not trying to be mean, just 
trying to give some feedback from a new user's point of view.  That is 
important if you want people to adopt your product.  By the way - I do 
like Smarty so far...very cool indeed.

Thank you much,
Michael Kolakowski
