Yeah, I thought of reversing it as well. Did that part, and reduced
font size a bit (or is that too small?). Also added a note that you
get additional info when hovering over a specific entry.
The autodetect part I'll be happy to leave to someone more versed in
web-lingo than me...
(now that this thing uses styles, it wouldn't be too hard to drop the
JS dependency again btw - just would need to add a tag on each odd
row in the generated page)
There are probably even better ways to present this info, but still -
I think this is already an improvement.
