sorting table that includes checkboxes,textboxes

**bryanphil** · 03-14-2006, 03:20 AM

Hello,

Fiest of all let me thank this group for so quick in responding to any
postings.

I am using a javascript based utility from a site to sort the columns
of the table. But, for some strange reason it is not working on colmuns
containg checkboxes, text-boxes (or, any user input fileds).

I tried a lot to modify to sort checkboxes that were checked but couldnt achive what I wanted.

Please help me out.

Any resource or code that you can recommend me? (Not from egghead.com)

Thank you

Phil

Is this attempted flattery to get someone to supply a solution? This is seemingly your first post, so how would you know what people in this forum are like?

At any rate... I'm sure that script expects the table to contain tabular (text) data. Placing form fields in the table screws with that expectation. The script is also probably expecting to sort on TextNode types only and, therefore, just needs to check the node type for the firstChild in the cell and bypass that cell if such node is not a TextNode.

???? I've visited this forum since a long time ago, no this is not a flattery.

Thanks for your kind welcome.
