Hi Alex,

I tried your suggestion and this did not fix my problem. I will of course agree with you that the colspan=35 doesnt need to be there.

I think this fix is subtle enough that it might be browser dependent. I didn't see this problem at all in IE v6. I am using Firefox/2.0.0.20 and it still seems to be a problem regardless of removing the colspan attribute.

Here is the sample application running in the Orbeon Sandbox ( I used the online version just to confirm it is not my environment setup ). The difference between your video clip is that the table rows should not be showing until the input control activates that specific row/group in the table. If the table rows are already showing, then the behaviour works as expected. It seems to be the conditional display of the rows that is causing this problem.

Removing the colspan="35" on the cell that contains "Focus Areas" solves the problem for me. Now, I am not sure why the colspan="35" does not takes effect in Firefox if you show the first group first; the inconsistency looks like a bug to me. Was there any reason to have that colspan="35" there?
