What did you want to know about Amazon's HTML, again? If you take a
look at the HTML, you will note that is, well, ugly, and it is even
uglier when it is generated. There are tables within tables, and
dissecting it is non-trivial.

I know that Amazon has a team of usability experts who are constantly
working the issue, but it is not obvious looking at the generated code
for their home page how they do it. I guess it would help to look at it
in a good XML browser that lets you selectively hide or expand nodes.

Perhaps you could contact one of Amazon's web devs, such as the
mysterious Ted:

Just a thought. :)
