[jQuery] jQuery blockUI and blocking table elements


is there a trick to getting the blockUI plugin to work with tables? so
the following html,
<table id="blah">
<tr>
<td>blah</td>
</tr>
</table>
i want to call,
jQuery('#blah').block()
and have only the table be blocked. what happens is that the page
ends up being blocked, not just the table. If i wrap the table in a
div and block the div, then it works, but that messes up the layout.
Setting, $('#blah').css('display','block').block() worked too but it
screwed up one of the nested layouts.
