Hi Niphlod -- Yep, that jQuery plug-in definitely seems to have the capability I mentioned. It seems rather a heavyweight component, however, for my use. my tables are fairly small and I do not need the extensive capabilities of Datatables other than this form drop-down idea. I think I'll play around with the way they implement it and see if I can get it working with a conventional table and a web2py SQLForm.
