[Mediawiki-l] wikitables

[Joshua Yeidel]

Did you check that the class=wikitable attribute is actually showing up in
the <table> tag when you "view source" in the browser?  Is there more than
one "class" attribute in that tag, or an ID in addition to the "class"?

I'm sorry this isn't a big help, but it might be a little help.
