A couple of weeks ago I created a mod of the TableSorter code:
http://blog.pengoworks.com/index.cfm/2008/3/28/Finished-jQuery-Tablesorter-m
od-for-Collapsible-Table-Rows
My mod using the jQuery .data() method to set the config options for the
current table, so you should be able to do:
var config = $.data(tableElement, "tablesorter");
To get the config options.
While this is a mod, Christian has said my changes will be implemented in
the next release of the tablesorter code (although I can't say whether or
not he'll revise how I implemented things.)
