Very good, congratulations!

Hello,

Under what license is this code? Is it possible to use it in commercial component?

Thanks!

Simple, functional & lightweight. What else can I look for . Great.

works great but fails if I change table’s ID or sorter variable name.
Any idea?

[...] JS Table Sorter [...]

maybe I do something wrong but it still does not work (FF 3.0.3 & IE 6)
I change the following lines:
<table cellpadding=”0″ cellspacing=”0″ border=”0″ class=”sortable” id=”sorter2″>
var sorter=new table.sorter(”sorter2″);
sorter.init(”sorter2″,1);

Error console of FF return “sorter2 is not defined”

thanks, it works now but you made a small mistake:

sorter2.init(”sorter2″,1);

I think that this point is unclear in the instructions.
Goog job!

Take a look at:
http://tablesorter.com/
it uses the best JavaScript framework:
http://jquery.com/

[...] Sort your tables with no effort and no huge libraries like prototype or jquery (even if I am a big fan of jQuery, I can’t use it on every single project, especially when is a small project) [...]

You should make an “on document ready” -function and rewrite all your scripts to use that + release some more of these actually useful scripts (yes, there are plenty less-then-useful ones out there). Then you could release a sort of library where the core more or less only had the on domready function and everything else was bits and pieces that could be deployed ON-demand.

The problem with the more popular JS-libraries nowadays is that they come with such a huge and often unneeded overhead that is more suited for web applications and not really your every day website. That’s were your scripting really could shine.

“tablesorter.com” is perhaps nicer but weights 24K instead of 1.7
Despite I use jQuery, I’ll use for this table sorter instead

Very effective script but it seems it doesn’t work width <thead> tag ?

I’ve tested it, but it doesn’t work in cells containing links.
It would be great if it could handle link text.

crap, table sorters 1000000 millions out there

Thanks dude, that’s pretty cool =)

love this tablesorter. just one thing. try to add names like Àngel and Óscar. these are common spanish names. they are placed at the end/beginning when you sort. any solution?

Hi Michael, great blog and thanks for the javascript goodies!!

I am using your table sorter in an asp .net site I am working, I am loading the table sorter when my update panel updates with a table!
This works but the sorter script fails somewhere along the line, the table headers are clickable but they do not sort and there are no sort images displayed.
Any ideas? I am pretty new to this so maybe I am missing something?
Thanks

Hi,
your work is great!
I have a question: how can I sort correctly date in format dd/mm/yyyy?

Thanks,
Matteo

Very nice. Has anyone in this forum been able to find a function that allows the user to select 2-4 products and have their tables display side-by-side, similar to how cnet.com shows their product reviews?

Ok i just found a solution for the problem with the links.

You have to adapt the work-function a bit.

Instead of:

for(i=0;i<this.l;i++){
this.a[i].o=i+1; var v=this.r[i+1].cells[y].firstChild;
this.a[i].value=(v!=null)?v.nodeValue:”
}

use this:

for(i=0;i<this.l;i++){
this.a[i].o=i+1;
var v=this.r[i+1].cells[y];
while(v.hasChildNodes())v=v.firstChild;
this.a[i].value=(v.nodeValue!=null)?v.nodeValue:”
}

It’s not excessively tested, but works wherever i use it.

so long,
Martin

I enjoy using your script, but the only issue I have, well is attempting to access the function of “greybox” when sorter is accessed, can you help me to correct this sorter, so that while the table is sorted by the change in header, that function does not affect my greybox, I mean links open, but I need different content to opened through “greybox” within my table, so any help will be greatly appreciated.
