Anyone know of software that will allow me to reveal web page tables? I'm using IE BOOSTER ( it works well but I'd like some other alternatives. Thanks!

I would click your browsers edit page button or view the source and save it to your local hard drive.
Then looking through the source code for "<table" (withoug quotes) and insert the option border="2". The border element may already be there, just make sure it has a none 0 value. There may be more then one "<table" to change.
Save the altered code to your local hard drive and open it in your browser. All the table cells will now have lines around them.
You'll find some pages don't use tables for layout like here:

If you use Mozilla you have two options:
1. You can click on a region you suspect is a table while holding the CTRL key and if it is a table cell it will hilight the cell border.
2. You can activate the DOM inspector sidebar which shows all tables, divs, etc in a collapsable list. Click a list item and the corresponding element in the page flashes.
Mozilla 1.4 can be downloaded from

Guys, I've developed a browser that was designed for a similar purpose, it was designed to quickly modify existing web pages for prototyping and proof of concept designs. Like Mozilla it has a DOM model viewer that is completely interactive. You can completely change the look of the web page and even get access to the new source code after you have modified it, you can even save the DOM to file so you can access it at a later date. You can execute and modify scripts on the page you can click on an item in the DOM and get that element to flash or highlight on the page so you can quickly locate it in a busy page. You can even start from scratch and create a web page, you do need to know a little HTML to do this though.
I am in the process of putting up a web page from where you can download the browser from. It is completely free, no freeware, shareware or advertising, strings attached or anything like that. Written entirely in VB. This started out as a little project that grew into a years work.
If anyone would like a copy or more info send an email to sash@chill-baby.com, i will send you the installer and a basic help text file to get you started.
Features:
Voice Activated - configurable voice commands can be used to control browser functions, go to urls and launch applications (ive voice autmated my favourite tunes thru the browser, its so cool, if you have the MS agent running it starts the head nod once it detects that you launched a media file!)
Voice Response - read web page titles, clipboard, selected text or entire web page
Can use MS Agent characters to say web pages title when loaded or warn you of popup windows and other messages
Web Page Analyzer , create or modify new and existing web pages
Link grabber gets all the links from a page and puts them in a numbered listin a window for you, you can navigate to the link just by saying the number of the link or by clicking on it. You can even go and get the links from one of the listed urls wiythout leaving the page. Also can save and load link files
Tabbed browser windows for easy organisation or web pages
Web site icons in tabs
choose tab styles - tabs - buttons flat buttons
choose tab orientation
Can apply a background bitmap to every browser control
configurable Popup killer
Web Form Trapper and Edit window allows you to intercept forms before they reach server allowing you to modify, add or delete the post data (not editable but viewable for file uploads)
Cookie viewer - allows you to see cookie info for the current page also lets you modify the cookie info for persistent cookies
Colour finder - helps you identify RGB or hex colours for any pixel on your monitor
