I agree, setting the 'id' in particular would be very useful to me. I'd be happy to provide a patch to add this facility if it will be accepted?

Tue Aug 12 11:08:38 2008 The RT System itself - Status changed from 'new' to 'open'

I am currently working on a new beta version which uses a lookup table to identify attributes. This not only adds the attributes listed above, but all HTML 4.01 attributes, and makes it easier to add new attributes to the code in the future. The idea and code was provided by Colin Fine. I had a basic beta ready weeks ago and then the day job took over again. I am planning on releasing a beta version as soon as possible.

Ah, that's good news :) Let me know if there's anything I can do to help.

Out of interest, any ideas when this could be expected, or has it been shelved? I'd very much like to see support for at least the ID attribute, and I'm happy to help make it happen. If you don't have time to work on HTML::Table currently, would you consider making me a co-maintainer? I'd be happy to release a new interim version with support for id / valign etc, then see about getting the new lookup table approach in place.

Hi, Sorry that I haven't replied sooner, work has been crazy recently. I haven't had a lot of time to work on this, when I left off work, the modifications to the structure were virtually finished. I would prefer to get that finished and then review the mainenance of the project at that stage. If I am unable to get this work done in the next month, then I will need to reconsider how to take this forward.
