[development] some secret to using theme('table'...) ?

[Nikola Kotur]

Theme table works like a charm, here's one example I took out my current
project (and stripped it from unneeded stuff) so you can just copy it,
and see that setting style works (D6):

<?php
  $rows = array();
  $rows[0][0] = array('data' => '1');
  $rows[0][1] = array('data' => '2');
  $rows[0][2] = array('data' => '3');
  $rows[0][3] = array('data' => '4');
  $rows[0][4] = array('data' => '5');
  $rows[0][5] = array('data' => '6');
  $rows[0][6] = array('data' => '7');
  $rows[1][0] = array('data' => 'a');
  $rows[1][1] = array('data' => 'b');
  $rows[1][2] = array('data' => 'c');
  $rows[1][3] = array('data' => 'd');
  $rows[1][4] = array('data' => 'e');
  $rows[1][5] = array('data' => 'f');
  $rows[1][6] = array('data' => 'g');
  print theme_table(array(), $rows, array('class' => 'a-table-class',
'style'=> 'width: 400px;'), NULL);
?>

If it doesn't display as expected, check if you've maybe overridden
theme_table in your theme.
