 * Really like this plugin – great aesthetic. For some reason the width of the sortable
   table is quite narrow:

 * Any idea how I can get the table to take up most of the page width?
 * Thanks again – great plugin.

 * Yes, I know what the problem is. Give me a couple minutes to figure out what’s
   causing it. BRB

 * The problem is your theme or some other stylesheet has hardwired in a display
   property with your table rows that is in conflict with my use of colspan=100 
   on the tfoot tr. I use colspan=100 for the footer because the number of columns
   is variable and colspan=100 will (ordinarily) stop at the number of actual columns.
   UNLESS a couple of obscure parameters are set in strange ways, as in your case.
   Try adding this little line to your Custom CSS and get back to me:
 * table#ssfa-table tfoot tr {display:table-column!important;}

 * That nailed it. Thanks again.
 * By the way, not sure if you’ve ever considered writing a file upload plugin, 
   but I think there’s a real shortage of plugins for uploading files in a clean,
   straightforward fashion. I’ve only found a few, and they’re all aesthetically
   underwhelming and temperamental. Just an idea.
 * Thanks again for this File Away plugin – it’s great…

 * No sweat, man. Yeah, a nice file upload plugin would be great. Maybe one day.
   At the moment I am swamped with contract work. We’ll see down the road. Thanks
   for the positive feedback.
 * Best,
