For example when row two is clicked I would like the table to reorder a, b, c, d <table><tr> <td>col 1</td> <td>col 2</td> <td>col 3</td> <td>col 4</td> </tr><tr> <td>b</td> <td>a</td> <td>d</td> <td>c</td> </tr><tr> <td>z</td> <td>x</td> <td>y</td> <td>w</td> </tr></table>
I have a list of records from my database being displayed on this page. I want to be able to sort the columns. Typically, I do this with an HTML table, but was wondering if there is a way I can setup the below code using jQuery to allow for the column headers to be sortable? I have an icon to sort up and an icon to sort down.My goal is to allow the user to sort the data without a page refresh.
<div class="header"> <ul> <li style="width: 20%;">Customer Number <img src="images/iconSort.gif" /></li>
I'm fairly new to Tablesort, but got it working for the most part. The only problem I have is any columns that have a <a href></a> in them. It seems to sort it based on the url and not that actual data in the cell. How do I get it to sort based on the data and not the url?
I have a requirement to build a div in a page that contains a table of plane details, and one of the columns (on the left - tail number) needs to be sticky on the horizontal axis but not on the vertical axis (i.e. when scrolling right the tail numbers need to stay visible on the left hand side, but when scrolling down the tail numbers need to scroll to keep up with the rest of the plane details).
I have been looking at various ways of doing this but currently to no avail, the idea that looks most promising is to split it into two tables and set them both to have scroll bars, the problem with this idea was that both the tables need to be scrolled by the same amount vertically, i could get the position of one table using the offsetTop property but could not find a way of setting the offsetTop property for the other table so they stay aligned. The other issue with this is that it would be using the onscroll property which does not seem to show any distinction between horizontal and vertical scrolls..
I have a material table wich contains the article number, a quantity input field, a max quantity field... How can i test that the input quantity is less than the max quant one ? Here is a sample code :
I want to hide columns with all green cells and I stored the column # that I want to hide into an array, errorColumn(). I am able to hide the rows I want, but I can't seem to figure out the columns.
I think the .has function is the problem because when I use the if(j!=5), it'll hide all columns but the 5th one. I just need it to do that for every column in my array...
I need to be able to create a 2 column table and then based on which column header is clicked on, sort the list by that column so that each table row is sorted properly. If possible there might be more than one line in the row and I would only want to sort on the first line in a given row. Can this be done using JavaScript. If so, which entities do I need (A table? A form?)
I'm looking for some super light-weight technique to take an existing table and just be able to resize the column headers. I've seen several jquery table plugins out there that seem to do everything imaginable, but I don't really need any of the fancy bells and whistles. I want to use my existing table structure and styles.
I wanna find out the number of my columns in my table. How can I do that? I have tried to do it with the following code, but it delivers me an "undifined" as result. What's wrong here?

<script language="javascript"> alert('start'); var tabl = document.getElementById('ordersTable'); alert( tabl.rows.length); var l = tabl.rows.length; var i = 0; var s = ""; for (i = 0; i < l; i++ ) { var tr = tabl.rows(i); alert(tr); alert(tr.cells(0)); var cll = tr.cells(0); alert(cll.innerText); s = s + "|" + cll.innerText; } alert("result=" + s); </script>
How to I bind a click function to specific columns of a table row?
Btw, this is a (yet not answered) crosspost of [URL]
I currently have this piece of code:
$('#example tr').click( function() { // selection stuff here, $(this) is the row });
However, this binds the whole row. As there are checkboxes in the row, I don't want to have the cells containing them bound, too. But, there is a problem: I need to know what row has been clicked on / to what row the cell belongs to. I simply don't get it to work, I tried something like this:
I've got a website that displays all my products together within a table and the user can then click on the product they want to buy or obtain more info on. This is always displayed in four columns.
However if you have a few pages of products for one category it can be displayed across a few pages. For some reason the content management system I use will display only 1, 2 or columns on the last page if there are less than 4 products on the last page. When this happens you can get the produts displayed with a different width to what I've set within the CSS because the table's with is set to 100%.
When this happens is it possible to set the the width of the table to:
75% if there are 3 columns
50% if there are 2 columns
25% if there is only one column
Or is it possible to keep the width of the table at 100% and just add the extra columns if there are not 4?
The table id="catprods_tbl" and the columns (td) are is set to id="column_main"
I have included the example of the layout when there are only two columns on the last page.
The code works great to hide the columns. The only issue is when you un-hide them again, it does come up correctly. I want the headings to all be on the top row and then the actual data be on the next row. If you do all of them, it stacks all the headings on top of each other and then puts the data rows in order with 8 rows etc. Code is below.

I've been trying just about every sort function I could google but they do not work becuase I am building the table I want to sort dynamically from XML - then appending it to the page using innerHTML. No HTML gets written to the page, hence there are no HTML values to iterate through to sort. Does anyone know a way to capture values that have been extracted from the XML file and then sort them based upon the users selection?
I want to switch entire rows/columns around in a table. Move rows up/down and move columns left/right. This works fine in IE/opera but has a few problems in firefox.
First of all, is this the 'right' way to do this or is there a better way? Firefox doesn't support swapNode().
When moving rows up/down (top one in demo) firefox takes a few clicks to work when it should be one click on the button. I have no idea why. Code:
I use the Tablekit library and Prototype javascript framework on firefox, chrome & IE8. The columns in this table can be sorted by the Tablekit library.
However, after adding the periodic refresh by AJAX (eventually I want to refresh only the web page when there is new data available) and <div>, then the columns in this table cannot be sorted by the Tablekit library.
I am trying to duplicate the graphic effect used in Outlook for sorting Columns, click on it the first time and it sorts descending, click again and it clicks ascending, click on another field and the original image returns and that field is now sorted. I can do the actual sort on the back-end using JSP, and really only need to make the script smart enough to know that another column has been clicked.
A couple of items for consideration, I am working on an intranet, and must support Version 4 browsers. The server I am using is an Iplanet V6.0 server.
