How big do you expect this table to get? I'm not sure, but on a really large table, it might be pretty slow to do a .each() over all the elements on each keypress.
Maybe a better way would be to have a function to parse the table results and build some sort of data structure (array, JSON object, etc.) which you might be able to filter quicker. I'm not *sure* that it would be faster, but it's something to explore. /alex On 9/14/07, Andy Matthews <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Yeah...I saw that after I wrote my own actually.
