> You may want to consider using a modal window to display the additional information since that information really does not fit into the existing table structure. NCSU has a good example of how to implement this in at the following url: http://accessibility.oit.ncsu.edu/training/aria/modal-window/version-3/

Thanks Mike. I did consider the modal in my last possibility but it changes the user experience as it covers up the table data which people may want to see or navigate through while the panel is open.
