Thanks for the parsing tip. The other part of the story is displaying the table as a two-column list where table headings are repeated vertically. This is different than the standard table layout where one has a header row then data rows.
Any tips on "transposing" the table from hdr1 hdr2 hdr3 x1 x2 x3 y1 y2 y3 to hdr1 x1 hdr2 x2 hdr3 x3 hdr1 y1 hdr2 y2 hdr3 y3 aquaone wrote: > > You can just write your own parser for > tablesorter<http://www.tablesorter.com/> > . > > stephen > > > On Mon, Nov 17, 2008 at 09:54, magoldfish <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> >> >> Hi, I'm learning jquery and I'm stumped on a table sorting problem.
