Hi Bitmover.

I often check current status of a number of repositories using links - a
good text based browser.
With current layout of the tables it is difficult to see when a description
for a changeset starts and stops, becasue the "Age", "Author" and "Rev"
fields are placed in the middle of the table.

I suggest to move the text content to the top of the cell like indicated
in this patch:

--- bk.old	2004-11-28 22:35:54.391106216 +0100
+++ bk.html	2004-11-28 22:44:54.940930152 +0100

 <tr bgcolor="#d0d0d0">
 <th>Age</th><th>Author</th><th>Rev</th><th align="left">&nbsp;Comments</th></tr>
 <tr bgcolor="white">
- <td align="right">16&nbsp;hours</td>
- <td align="center">viro</td>
- <td align="center"><a href="http://linus.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.5/[email protected]?nav=index.html%7CChangeSet@-1d">1.2273</a></td>

+ <td valign="top" align="center">viro</td>
+ <td valign="top" align="center"><a href="http://linus.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.5/[email protected]?nav=index.html%7CChangeSet@-1d">1.2273</a></td>
....

In other words adding a single valign="top" for the three relevant
cells do the trick.
I have checked the layout in Firefox - it did not hurt my eye.

Next problem is that links fails to wrap text in the description
field due to use excessive of &nbsp;.
If one does not have a wide enough screen why not let the browser wrap
the text?
