I know practically nothing about javascript, so maybe this is just a simple matter of incorrect syntax.
The following code works for making a table sortable: $(function() { $("#team_loses").tablesorter({ widgets: ['zebra'], headers: {2: {sorter: 'rank'}, 6:{sorter: false}, 7:{sorter: false}, 12:{sorter: false} } }); }); However, I try to also use textExtraction, and the table cannot be sorted in either FF or IE $(function() { $("#team_loses").tablesorter({ widgets: ['zebra'], headers: {2: {sorter: 'rank'}, 6:{sorter: false}, 7:{sorter: false}, 12:{sorter: false} } , textExtraction: function(node) { return node.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].innerHTML; } }); }); -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/TableSorter-problem%3A--calling-textExtraction%28%29-tp27460924s27240p27460924.html Sent from the jQuery General Discussion mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
