Abstract: The present invention provides a library file having a plurality of object-oriented functions for displaying data in tabular form via a web-browser. A separate display file is created that calls out desired functions from the library file in order to display a table having desired attributes. Importantly, the present invention allows multiple tables having different formatting and functionality to be displayed on the same web page. Further, the present invention allows a table to be defined having a body with independent formatting from that of at least one of a header and a footer of the table, such that when the table is displayed, the body is scrollable, while the header and footer remain fixed. The present invention also allows for defining borders and fonts, editing, and navigation within the table. Further, changes made to the table may be stored in a log for use in updating a remote database.
