Now printed schedules are just a bit gooder

It turns out there is HTML which can indicate which header material should be duplicated across multi-page tables: the <thead></thead> tags. So now that I’ve re-learned this and tweaked the calculator again, multi-page tables will have the column headings on each page when printed, provided your browser does the right thing. (I use Firefox for almost all my web-browsing needs.)

    Sadly, after testing out the THEAD tags at home on Internet Explorer, it looks like the browser doesn’t do the “right thing” with the header info. That means that the 83% of the people visiting this site (who are using IE) won’t see headings printed on every page as people running Firefox will. Nothing I can do about that, I’m sorry to say, but you folks can switch browsers if it’s a feature that’s important to you.
