Download table widget

Use a strict or loose doctype

This table widget requires a valid doctype in order to work properly in IE. You can either choose the strict doctype:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
or a loose doctype:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
Choose the one that makes your page look best across different browsers. The doctype tag should be placed on the first line of your HTML file.

Download images

There are two arrow used in this script to indicate sorted columns. Right click on them below and select "Save target as". Put them in a subfolder called "images".

How to use

You create the table by use of plain HTML as shown in the textaera code for <BODY>. What's important is that you:

Have a parent div like this: <div class="widget_tableDiv">
Use a <THEAD> tag as parent of your header row.
Use <TD> and not <TH> as tags for your header content
Use a <TBODY> as parent of your table data rows(<TR>).

Look in the example for further help.

The last thing you have to do is to call the javascript function initTableWidget() which "converts" the table. Example:
<script type="text/javascript">
initTableWidget('myTable',500,250,Array('S','N',false,'N','S'));
</script>

The arguments you send to this function are:

'myTable' = The ID of your table. example: <TABLE id="myTable" ...
500 = Width of table widget
250 = Height of table widget
Array('S','N','S','N','S') = An array telling how the columns should be sorted. "S" = String, "N" = Numeric. Use false(without quotes) instead of "S" and "N" if you have columns that shouldn't be sorted at all.
