i want to use client-side, server-side would only generate the initial 
table as a fall-back for browsers not supporting client-side.

i understand that. i thought the promise of sarissa was that it gives yo 
a reasonably stable environment to do things client-side.

do you have examples of client-side transformations replacing existing 
content which actually works? i could not get sarissa's examples to work 
in my browser (latest firefox).

i would prefer client-side, because it generates far less traffic and 
has much faster refresh times.

thanks and cheers,
