HTML tables don't have to be a static read-only affair. Learn how to CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTSs that allow users to sort them any way they see fit. Chris Converse explains how to use jQuery and a free plugin called tablesorter to create a sortable, interactive table with just a few lines of code. He also shows how to add indicator arrows and colors with CSS and create a custom parser to sort dates more intelligently. As with all episodes of Design the Web, the exercise files for this course (including the tablesorter plugin) are free to all members.
