You know, browsers should have a feature where you can select a block of data on a webpage and 'view source' on that block. It'd make ripping off cool HTML tricks from others' websites a lot easier.
... perhaps Javascript in a header or an "include" sort of file, or RSS declarations that occur in a style sheet someplace else? ... hmmm ... might there be be some other occasional nonlocality to HTML rendering? ... but agreed, probably >95% of the time your local-source-view would be valuable ... ^z
Ah, yes, you're right. And particular arrangements of tables might also lead to difficulties - if, say, the effect you were looking for consisted of some unusual table manipulations (http://tailsteak.com/archive.php?num=4).
However, the effect I was looking for in this case was the <a title="..."> effect I'd seen used on someone's blog to make footnotes (mouse-over for demonstration) () (actual link) (http://nielsenhayden.com/makinglight/), so I didn't have too much problem.
