Hi Tim, Alternatively, you may want to use the CRAN package hwriter: library(hwriter) mat=matrix(1:24,6,4) colnames(mat)=1:4 hmat=hwrite(mat, col.link=list('4'=rep('http://nytimes.com', 6)), col.names=T, row.style='text-align:center ; font-weight:bold') hcap=hwrite('test', center=T) hwrite(c(hmat,hcap), 'test.html', dim=c(2,1), border=0) For more details and CSS styling options, please check: http://www.ebi.ac.uk/~gpau/hwriter/ Best regards, Greg -- Gregoire Pau EMBL/EBI Cambridge, UK http://www.ebi.ac.uk/~gpau Tim Smith wrote: > Thanks Sean. > > The table itself seems to come out fine in the browser - only the hyperlinks don't work!
