I'm not using SortableTable. I am using ReportGrid, which someone
attached to a bug in dojo. We then modified the heck out of it, but
it is much more functional (and faster) than SortableTable. It
formats numbers and dates using java standard format strings that can
be specified as a parameter (hence, localized), which means that even
though a number is decorated with currency symbols and thousands
separators, it is still sorted and compared as a number. It also has
a footer which can be used to store column totals. It has the ability
to display the data broken up over multiple pages (all rendered in the
client, of course), and it has a filter which allows you to specify
criteria which limit which rows are actuallt displayed. It is very
functional, much more so than I have seen of SortableTable. I'll
stick a simple demo up somewhere in a few minutes and you can check it
out.
I am in GMT-8 timezone, although I am frequently in GMT+3, too, and my
team is in GMT+3, so I tend to be around at pretty much all hours.

Oh cool you're using the SortableTable!
For javascript + using .script files you shouldn't need to worry about when
/ where to put it. Tacos captures the script output and makes sure it only
gets invoked when it's "safe" from the documents perspective.
You'll notice that almost all of the tacos components pass in an "ajax"
parameter to the .script files. (This is retrieved by inject AjaxWebRequest
and calling isValidRequest()) . This value is then used to determine whether
the widget should be created (or have values set if already exists) as soon
as it's evaluated (for ajax requests) , or by wrapping it in a
dojo.event.connect(window, "onload" (for normal requests).
The inherited parameters and such you shouldn't have to worry about. The
only properties you need to pass into the SortableTable are the specific
widget properties (like enablemultiselect, etc..) . The author of
SortableTable has a style of coding that will ensure all of your other
attributes are kept in place and inherited in the widget for you from the
dom node. (which is almost exactly the way that Tapestry does it )
I'm currently in the middle of a few things right now but can sync up with
you later. (what timezone are you in ? )

OK, I've simplified the problem a bit. I can leave the table data the
way it, for now. I just need to replace the following code:
writeScript(cycle, pageRenderSupport);
writer.begin("div");
writer.attribute("dojoType", "ReportGrid");
writer.attribute("widgetId", getWidgetId());
if (getPageSize()!=null) {
writer.attribute("maxRows", getPageSize());
}
writer.attribute("enableMultipleSelect", isEnableMultipleSelect());
if (getRowAlternateClass()!=null) {
writer.attribute("rowAlternateClass", getRowAlternateClass());
}
if (getBodyClass()!=null) {
writer.attribute("tbodyClass", getBodyClass());
}
if (getHeaderClass()!=null) {
writer.attribute("headClass", getHeaderClass());
}
if (getFooterClass()!=null) {
writer.attribute("tfootClass", getFooterClass());
}
if (getContainerClass()!=null) {
writer.attribute("containerClass", getContainerClass());
}
if (getHeaderSortUpClass()!=null) {
writer.attribute ("headerSortUpClass", getHeaderSortUpClass());
}
if (getHeaderSortDownClass()!=null) {
writer.attribute("headerSortDownClass",
getHeaderSortDownClass());
}
renderInformalParameters(writer, cycle);
writer.end();
with this:
writeScript(cycle, pageRenderSupport);
and then have the script itself call dojo.widget.createWidget() with
the various parameters. Obviously, the explicit parameters are easy
enough, but I don't know how to get at the informal parameters, of
which there are many that are useful.
