[FX.php List] Creating summaries on the fly,

[Bob Patin]

But Steve, I can't do that until I know the value of the total. It  
works like this:

Ford Taurus= 3
Ford Focus = 4

Total # of Fords: 7

Honda Accord = 5
Honda CRX = 10

Total # of Hondas: 15

Total cars: 22

So next to the 3, I need 42.8%; next to 4, I need 57.1%

Next to 5, I need 33.3%, and next to 10, I need 66.7%

So I can't supply the percentages until i know how much the  
subsummary is. I can put percentages next to the SUBSUMMARY because  
it's based on the # of total vehicles, which I can get from my  
foundcount... but the subsummary values I can't get until the foreach  
runs its course...

That's why I'm thinking I need to refresh some variables in the table  
AFTER the foreach has finished.
