Is Ajax in messages/index.php connected with the table?

I’m trying to restyle the Inbox in Messages because the horizontal layout doesn’t fit in my column.

The form in template file messages/index.php is styled with a table. As soon as I take the table out and replace it with divs etc. the Ajax breaks, even if I keep all the IDs and classes in place.

Is the Ajax connected with the table itself? Where can I find the Javascript that does the mark as read/unread/delete stuff with the checkbox?

EDIT: I see in Firebug under DOM that “something” is using this selector:

#message-threads tr td input[type='checkbox']

It’s in _inc/js/ajax.js:
```
j("a#delete_sentbox_messages").click(

function() {

checkboxes_tosend = '';

checkboxes = j("#message-threads tr td input[type='checkbox']");
```
The Ajax code that follows is full with table#…, tr#… and td#… Was that really necessary? Can’t you just reference an element with just the ID of the element itself?

After painstakingly removing all the table, tr and td from ajax.js the form now works without tables, giving me a lot more freedom to restyle it.

I’ve also replaced this

checkboxes = j("#message-threads tr td input[type='checkbox']");

With this

checkboxes = j("#inboxcheck");

and added id=”inboxcheck” to the input tag in index.php.

It works fine. It actually seems faster.

I guess the broken delete buttons in 1.1.3 had the same cause. I’ll revisit that next week…

Unfortunately this

checkboxes = j("#inboxcheck");

kept breaking/never really worked to begin with.

For my custom template I still had to resort to this:

checkboxes = j("ul#message-threads li input[type='checkbox']");

This stuff is fuzzy…

And now read/unread seems to be the wrong way around and the select dropdown does nothing… :`-(
