Tables and some other questions

G'day folks,

If I'm setting up a multi-column table, is there any way to code so that
clicking on the header for each column sorts the table by that column? I
don't have cgi available, nor any of the other really fancy tools. I'm
pretty much limited to javascript and html.

Also, when doing a borderless table, what's the easiest way to add spaces
between columns? I've been doing this:

<.tr>
<.td nowrap>Antonica</td><.td>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</td>
<.td nowrap>Odus</td><.td>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</td>
<.td nowrap>Faydwer</td><.td>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</td>
<.td nowrap>Kunark</td><.td>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</td>
<.td nowrap>Velious</td>
<./tr>

This forces five spaces between my columns. But it seems kind of clunky, and
I figure there's got to be an easier way to do it.  While I'm on the subject
of "clunky", is there any way to specify NOWRAP for the entire table so I
don't have to put it in each cell?

Another question:
As you can see in the example above, I tend to put no more than one or two
cells of a given row on each line of code - it fits on the screen. I also
use the same format for each row in a given table - that is, if I have a
table that is 10 columns long and I have the first three columns on one line
of code, three more on the next, and the last four on the next line, I'll
use three lines of code for each row.  My boss says that I should put the
entire row on one line, but I find that hard to read. What do you guys
think?

Still another question:
I've currently got a page set up on geocities. It's a holding tank because
I'm running out of room on my main ISP-provided site. Anyone know of any way
to disable the banners and popups that Geocities insists on adding?

Finally, I'd like to say "thanks" to all of you who have listened to my
questions and helped me out over the past
