The Idea Mill

Hello!

I just found your scirpt tablefilter and i am very impressed.
I tried to integrate it into your webpage, but i had some problems with it.

Due to the fact that I do have 2 tables on the page, the scipt starts for the first table, but i wuld need it for the second one..
I tried to give ids to the tables, but that did not work either.

Is there a possibility to use it the way I want??
Thanks,
Kolja

If you have a demo site I can look at it would be helpful. You shouldn’t have any problems when using ID’s especially.

Nice work.

I’ve been using sorttable.js (http://kryogenix.org/code/browser/sorttable/), however I like the look of the extra functionality of your plug-in and the fact that it’s part of a larger network of code (jQuery). One very useful feature that sorttable.js has is the ability to specify a value to sort on (different to the value to display) which gives you a bit more freedom in the content of the table cell:

…Col…
…General content (sort second)…
…General content (sort first)…

Any idea how easy this would be? Err… maybe I should stop being lazy and have a go at it myself

Cheers

I need in tfoot only show the navegator for page….
how can do?
please help me!

@Ian: Regarding sort first and sort second, you can sort by multiple columns by just holding the ctrl key down when you click. Sorting by some other value within the column is an interesting idea, though I’m not sure how useful it would be. Currently I’m grabbing the inner text property of a TD, which should be what you see on the screen.

@Sergio: I’m not sure what you’re asking about, but the best way to ensure that only the paging row shows up in tfoot is to create proper tfoot, thead and tbody sections within the table before running tableFilter. Remember that per the HTML spec, the tfoot section should actually be at the top of the table, before the thead and tbody sections.

Hi again!
I am sorry, but I cannot send you a link, because my server is only a testserver, not a public one.
You would also need a login and password which i cannot grand

perhaps you can send me your emailadress so i can send you the code of the (generated) page.

It would possibly help to know how to specify the right tabke by id.
i tried
and

giving the thable the id by
but both does not work..
he normally takes the first table on the page , that is just indicated by

Thank your in advance for your help

To specify a table using an ID, use $(’#yourTableID’).tableFilter();

You can email me at daemach /at/ gmail /dot/ com

It works!
wunderfull!

Thank you for your support!

Kolja

PS: you can delete the email, i found the problem in the code…

BTW, great grid. The best in many ways.

Daemach,

Very nice work on this fiilter. I’m having some luck customizing a bit of it and using it for a project I’m working on. What license terms are you releasing this under (ie. is it ok to use in a commercial setting)?

-wes

I’m not certain yet - can you email me at daemach /at/ gmail /dot/ com to discuss?

I too would love to know about commercial license, or at least this scripts use in a professional commercial site…
but first I would love to be able to get it to display in safari 2, or even properly in IE6!
Anyone any ideas as to why it will not?

I love this script, but its irritating as hell that safari 2 (not 3) and IE6 and below display mine wrong!

Hi again!

I tried to play around with the Options you postet, but i had no luck..
I integrated a 1×1 gif:

The table gets an automatic tablefilter, but the sorting for column 5 does not work.. it sorts for the first column…
am I right with the options??

Thanks,
Kolja

… and another question comming to my mind:
is it possible (by option) to add a selection to the start? (e.g. column 3 start with filter “>0″)

Cheers,
Kolja
