I put mhttpd.css and mhttpd.js into the ODB, so every experiment can change it. I put also Andreas' modifications of the CSS file for the runlog table and

[quote="Andreas Suter"]I stumbled over a problem which I cannot pin point and would appreciate suggestions.

We have similar demands, and we solve it in the following:
