How to do DataTable without caption block

[Chris Curran-2]

I'm on 2.5.2 and using the DataTable with mucho success. One issue
though: It appears YUI is inserting a "<caption/>" block before the
DataTable and that's screwing up my screen formatting (a blank row
where it doesn't belong). How do I tell YUI to stop inserting empty
caption block with my DataTable?

thanks,
Chris

The DataTable doesn't put any caption in the table unless you explicitly
tell it to via the caption configuration setting. The attribute defaults
to null and it won't make any caption, the actual code that produces it
starts with:

 if(this._elTable && sCaption)

So with sCaption == null (the default), it won't even create an empty
caption element.

Ha! OK, I figured it out. I have a "standard" table setup function.
One of it's parms is the caption. In this particular case I'm calling
that setup func with a caption of "" (empty string). I changed my
setup func to test caption before setting it:

    if (caption != "")
        obj.set("caption", caption);

and now all is fine.

Thanks boss.
