Sortable table Script
I found this script on http://www.kryogenix.org a site for and by Stuart Langridge, and thought it was really uesful but needed some tweaks. I changed the following:
- Moved all presentation information into the css file. Including the sort indicator, which is now a background image set in a class selector.
- Changed the sort trigger from link to table header onclick event.
- Added rollover state to table headers.
- Made the column type parsing code a bit more forgiving by using the isNaN fn() and less strict date matching reg ex.
- Changed the date sorting function to use the Javascript Date function. Can now use either mm dd yyy or dd mm yyy by setting the variable monthBeforeDay. Also can now set the cut off year for two digit year conversion.
- Added ability to have multiple tables on the sam page.
Here is the juice:
