@gtg489: I considered that, but _ is actually meant to take up the amount of space as the character that follows it. Which is why you often see _) in formats that contain (0.0) for negatives. Making every _ a nbsp would make some too wide and kind of defeat the purpose, IMO. Anyway, suggestions are best made on the Google Group for the library, as there are other people working on improving it now also.

Matt, you can replace _ with which is interpreted by browsers as non breaking spaces

Line 864:
// In Excel formats, “_” is used to add spacing, which we can’t do in HTML
$pattern = preg_replace(”/_./”,”",$pattern);

Do you know of or recommend anything similar to this for .CSV files? Might cut down on some development time for a little project of mine. Thanks

“some problem with translating times”: Are you in the Eastern time zone (-5)?
This looks like either a problem with a GMT default for display, or a server-client time difference. Or perhaps there is some problem with translating times, but doesn’t seem likely, does it?

I’m just starting getting familiar with your AJAX toolbox — no real experience yet, but it sure looks good.
Thanks,
