Hi;

In the meantime, how is the zebra widget supposed to work?  :-)

  I'm using the tablesorter plugin (Excellent work! - makes my job MUCH
  easier).  But I found a slight flaw with the documentation.
 
  In my case, I wanted alternating row colors.  When I set this up
  manually with something like
 
  $(#mytable tr:odd).css(background-color,#ddd);
 
  The initial view was fine, but sorting the rows messed things up.  (not
  evenly alternating).
 
  So I did some digging.  I recalled seeing something on this list about a
  zebra plugin.  Searching my archives I found this, but could not find
  anything that clearly stated how to use it.
 
  So I went to the documentation at http://tablesorter.com/docs/.  No
  mention there of zebra.  When I went into the Widgets, writing your
  own, I found the following sample:
 
  // call the tablesorter plugin and assign widgets with id zebra
  //(Default widget in the core) and the newly created repeatHeaders
  $(table).tablesorter({
   widgets: ['zebra','repeatHeaders']
  });
 
 
  This is the ONLY mention I found for Zebra within the tablesorter pages.
  (thus far)
 
  May I suggest that the table on the main docs page needs to include the
  widgets option, and a list of all the core widgets (not sure if
  there's more than just zebra).
 
  The alternating row colors is such a common need, that this change would
  make the tablesorter plugin much more friendly to those who only have a
  few moments to search.
 
  If I can only find documentation to complain about, somebody is doing
  something right... :)  Good job Christian.
