Hi Group, I've been writing a tablefilter plugin to sit along side tablesorter from Christian Bach. It will supply multi column filtering. Have support for different filter types, e.g. text (case sensitive/ insensitive), numeric, regex + any more people might add.
It will be optional on wether to add the UI or not, allowing people to create there own is they so wish. Utilising the filter events which are bound to each thead th allowing you to trigger these events from your own UI. I'm releasing a preview, to get some feedback on the UI. One of the things I'm struggling with is where and how I should go about adding support for table level filtering, the column level filtering seems fine. Should I simply add another filter icon just above the table? The other thing, thanks to some feedback from Christian I added multi language support for the UI, but currently the filterBox UI is only created the once, then is simple shown and hidden with the form values being change. This means if the user changes the language after the initial creation of the filterBox the language change is ignored. What are people thoughts on this? Should I recreate the filterBox UI, change the wording to the new language? This is a preview release to get some feedback, it's still a work in progress. Any feedback welcome.
