If you give the table a specific ID and onload count its child nodes
(<tr> tags) using DOM, that should return the number of rows it has. and
by counting the children of one of its child tags, you get the number of
cols (the number of <td> in the first <tr>)
Javascript would be very suitable for this, but I don't understand why
you need to validate data like this on the client side. Can't you just
do it on the server side where there is less to go wrong?
