This package looks cool, and I would use it, but it has way too many flaws:
Calling member variables in the constructor which have not been defined,
not using the variables $TableAlign consistantly as a methodparameter.

Not adding the scope of the methods, is not a bad thing(as some users are using php4), but webhosts should be using php5 anyway.
and oh yeah, html elements should be lowercase.

And btw: you should be developing with E_ALL and E_STRICT turned on.
You would have "noticed" it.

same error here. But fortunately, this code problem is easy to correct.

And So I did, but these errors are very basic and should be being noticed before releasing a package to the public.

'... the web hosts should be using PHP5 anyway...'

You want to mention that to my webhost? I wish they would upgrade, but they haven't. When I ask them I get a blank, glassy-eyed stare.

A normal webhost should abandon php because there ar e no updates for it any longer. If they don't want to, then they are too lazy.

If there core application wont run under php5 then they are even more lazy: the date of the last update was known for a long time.
I would consider switching to another host, the more if they ask quite some money.
