This following is code which is working in IE5+ but now in Netscape 4.78 I don't know what is wrong???
<!-- TWO STEPS TO INSTALL SORT DATA TABLE:
1. Copy the coding into the HEAD of your HTML document
2. Add the last code into the BODY of your HTML document -->
<!-- STEP ONE: Paste this code into the HEAD of your HTML document -->
