Hello,

i basically have a list, like:


TABLE_CONTENT = [['958','<a id="958F" href="javascript:c_row(\'958\')"
title="go to map"><img src="/images/c_map.png"
border="0"></a>','USA','Atmospheric','<a
href="javascript:c_ol(\'958\')" title="click date time to show
origin_list (evid=958)">1945/07/16
11:29:45</a>','33.6753','-106.4747','','-.03','21','','','TRINITY','&nbsp;','&nbsp;','<a
href="javascript:c_md(\'958\')" title="click here to show source
data">SourceData</a>','&nbsp;'],['959','<a id="959F"
href="javascript:c_row(\'959\')" title="go to map"><img
src="/images/c_map.png" border="0"></a>','USA','Atmospheric','<a
href="javascript:c_ol(\'959\')" title="click date time to show
origin_list (evid=959)">1945/08/05
23:16:02</a>','34.395','132.4538','','-.58','15','','','LITTLEBOY','&nbsp;','&nbsp;','<a
href="javascript:c_md(\'959\')" title="click here to show source
data">SourceData</a>','&nbsp;'] ..... ]
