Hi Richard,

Sure that's why I'd expect to see the cell contents (i.e. "Loading") 
appearing, albeit in a faint form of blue. What I see is nothing but a faint 
border/outline of the table.

As I mentioned in another post, it's very easy to reproduce using the SSCCE 
at the end of my original post.
Just alternate the commenting out of the following two lines: -
         wire.appendChild(decal);
//         document.body.appendChild(decal);

I'm happy if everything is 25% but when I append to the DIV I get no 
contents. Z-index issue?
