Yeah, sorry, forgot I was switching between jquery and non-jquery
syntax.
I'll make it all jquery so it is consistent.
$.tablesorter.defaults.textExtraction = function (node)
{
var r, v;
try { v = $(node).attr("textExtraction"); }
catch(e) { v = "none"; }
switch (v)
{
case "specialdate":
//do your stuff and set it to v
break;
default:
v = $(node).html();
break;
}
return v;
};
