 * Hi,
 * Great plugin!
 * But…does it work with a table? So
 *     ```
       <table>
       <tr>
       <td colspan="2">ouders)</td>
       <td colspan="2">[text* ouders]</td>
       </tr>
       [group group-254]
       <tr>
       <td colspan="2">Beroep lid (ouders van lid)</td>
       <td colspan="2">[text* beroep]</td>
       </tr>
       [/group]
       </table>
       ```
   
 * Is not working. Or should i use the label and fieldset?
 * Regards,
 * Bert

 * I guess it doesn’t work because the groups generate div tags, which is an invalid
   element as a direct child of the table element. It’s a good idea to extend the
   plugin with an option to choose the HTML element. I’ll think about it and maybe
   I will include it in a future version.
 * I would recommend you however, to redesign your form without tables. althought
   It’s basically still a question of taste, most good developers agree that tables
   should not be used as a lay-out element.
