Thanks Christian! I just pasted that in and indeed, now there isn't a JS error and it sorts correctly by title. However, now something strange is happening and the other fields don't sort -- they all sort by title! The date specifically is what I just tried.
Here are two sample pages: http://anime-planet.com/users/reviewindex.php?usersid=19 ^^this page has always worked, because it has no special character names http://anime-planet.com/users/reviewindex.php?usersid=1 ^^the "problem child" page. The title does now work. Also, here's the tablesorter initialization: $("#userreviewtable").tableSorter({ sortColumn: 'title', stripingRowClass: ['alt2','alt'], stripeRowsOnStartUp: true, textExtractionType: ['title'] }); And one other question: is it possible to do multiple columns for textExtraction (using a comma, two separate lines for it, etc)? There is one other column (score) that in theory should be able to have either nothing, or a number. Note: I'm still down with helping you on the documentation front :) thanks! -kim --- Christian Bach <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Kim, is it possible to publish a test page so i can > take a look? > > > A "quick fix" would be to use the new property > textExtractionType - which in > true tablesorter spirit is undocumented. > > > > Here is a example: > > This forces the tablesorter to extract data out of > the title attribute, > allowing a simple way to present mixed data to the > user > (string/numbers/etc). > > <script> > $("table").tableSorter({ > textExtractionType: ['title'] > }); > > </script> > <table> > <thead> > <tr> > <th>Row</th> > <th>Number</th> > > </tr> > </thead> > <tbody> > <tr> > <td title="1">One</td> > <td title="30">30.0000000000</td> > </tr> > <tr> > <td title="2">2</td> > <td title="50"><a href="50.00000000000</td> > </tr> > </tbody> > </table> > > > > Best regards > Christian > > > 2007/4/5, Kim Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > > > > > Anyone know a workaround for this? :) Christian, > any > > thoughts? > > > > -kim, who would really like to not code a bunch of > > tablesorting tonight in php ;) > > > > --- Kim Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > > > > ATTN: Christian or anyone else familiar :) > > > > > > I'm trying to use TableSorter for a few large > > > batches > > > of data, but am getting JS errors depending on > what > > > content is in the columns. > > > > > > For example: > > > > > > -Digit-only data works, but MIXED data (ex: some > > > fields are empty, and some have decimal values) > > > fails. > > > > > > -Special characters break the sorting.
